We recently went to Mexico, to Akumal, on a family vacation (three families including ours). I brought no more than about 8 extra lights beyond my EDC Strion (with charger) and perhaps 6 CountyComm $1 specials.
I can't tell you how often these lights came in handy.
First, each family needed at least one light to navigate the whole area at night.
Second, reading menus was difficult at night with no light and the lights came in handy there.
Third, I used my light in places like Chichen Itza to look down a dark hallway in some ruins (The Nunnery if you know that building).
Fourth, we felt a lot more secure driving at night with the flashlights.
I was a family hero for being so prepared (and I had my "medical bag" with ibuprofen, lomotil, bandaids, multitool which we used, not to mention other stuff we never used including Quikclot).
