Considering the dry season as the best time to make your trip, the tip on what to pack is light and comfortable clothes, especially for the beach. In addition, it is advisable to bring a hat, sunscreen and long-sleeved, but light, shirts for the night.
- How to travel around the island
With fuel costs rising, renting a car is not recommended. Therefore, the best way to get around is by taxi or public transport.
