When packing for your trip, rather than thinking in terms of sheer quantity, think in terms of outfits. Choose versatile pieces that can be matched up easily.
Beach Wear:
No doubt, you'll probably be in swim shorts for the majority of the day if you're staying at a resort, so make sure that you have at least 2 pairs. You'll need one pair for the day, and then you'll hang it up to dry in the evening and you'll need another pair for the next day as it might not dry completely overnight with the humidity. I'd also recommend to bring along a T-shirt that you don't mind getting pool water on as sunburn can take it's toll, especially on the shoulders, arms, chest and upper back, and you might decide to cover up at some point during the day. Also bring a pair of flip-flops to wear on your walk from your room to the restaurant for breakfast and to the pool and beach.
Casual Wear:
You probably won't be at the pool/beach 24/7 each day. You'll probably decide to leave the resort at some point to go sightseeing, shopping, and taking in the local culture. The number of casual outfits you need really depends on how many days you plan on venturing beyond the resort. For each day you plan on leaving the resort, bring 1 casual top. You probably only need 1 pair of casual pants, but just make sure they match the tops. I personally would NOT recommend the pair of jeans you plan on bringing along as the Caribbean sun is much hotter than you'd think... especially at this time of year! Bring a lighter fabric such as khakis... you'll thank yourself for doing so.
Dinner & Disco Wear:
You really only need one pair of black, slightly dressy pants that you can wear each night for dinner as they'll go with everything. Shorts are unacceptable and most resorts require men to wear long pants. You can still wear a comfy casual top, but you'll look even better if the top has a collar. You also need a pair of dressier shoes to wear with this outfit, preferably black leather. You can wear this outfit to the disco/club as well.
Other than clothing:
-High SPF sunblock, reapply often, especially if you're fair
-1 stick of Tide to Go
-Noxema (to cool a sunburn) and apply Aloe Vera gel afterwards to help heal the skin
