Local Customs & Etiquette
Dress modestly when away from the beach by wearing cover-ups or casual resort wear rather than swimwear.
Greet locals with a polite 'Good morning' or 'Good afternoon' before starting a conversation or asking for service.
Avoid taking photographs of locals without asking for their permission first out of respect for their privacy.
Tipping is generally appreciated; consider leaving 10-15% in restaurants if a service charge is not already included.
Respect the island's pace of life, as things often move slower here, and being impatient or rushing service is considered rude.
Safety Tips
Stick to well-lit, populated areas at night and avoid walking alone on isolated beaches after dark.
Secure your valuables in a hotel safe and avoid carrying large amounts of cash or wearing expensive jewelry in public.
Only use registered taxis that display official government-approved license plates for secure transportation.
Practice caution while swimming as some beaches may have strong currents or undertows, even if the water appears calm.
Drink bottled or purified water to avoid potential digestive issues caused by differences in water treatment systems.
