Travel Tips

The best time to visit is during the dry season from December to April. Pack lightweight, breathable clothing, swimwear, sun protection, and insect repellent. Respect local customs by dressing modestly when away from the beach and greeting locals politely. Stay hydrated and avoid drinking tap water. Use cash in small denominations for local purchases. Be cautious with valuables and avoid isolated areas at night.
