Travel Tips

Visit between January and April for ideal weather. Pack light, breathable clothing, sunscreen, and a hat. English is widely spoken, but learning a few phrases in Papiamentu is appreciated. Carry some cash for small vendors, though credit cards are accepted in most establishments. Stay hydrated and use reef-safe sunscreen to protect marine life. Be mindful of cultural respect, especially in religious and historic sites.
