Pack like you're going to the jungle :-)

We stayed at a hotel so bringing our regular luggage was fine. We made a point to bring only one bag each and A BACKPACK!! Island clothing prevails in this climate. Shorts, tank tops, sports bras, bathing siuts, sarongs, hats, flip flops and plenty of sunblock are essential. Things we brought that were helpful: Wet-naps (to periodically freshen up with), washcloths (for sweating), bug spray, mini-first aid kit, SUNBLOCK, any type of good lotion or aloe for sunburns.

Like a tropical laidback place, just bring light wear - shorts, t-shirts, bermudas, swim wear, sun glases, sandals, a good pair of Tevas (for land tours) and a hat. Advisable to bring a water proof jacket along if you're taking long boat rides to the little islands or diving spots. Sometimes it rains. Pharmacies selling products under the US brand are available in pharmacies. Bring lots of memory cards.

These are hard to find and expensive if you find them. Bring plenty of film. You will want to take lots of pictures and film is very expensive here. If you are bringing video equipment remember to bring any possible replacement parts you will need, none will be available on-island.Important Tip ***Bring one or two disposable underwater cameras, the marine life is among the best in the world. IF you find underwater cameras they will be HIGHLY overpriced.*** You may want multiple swimsuits because most activities here are water related. You also may want boat shoes (ones with a hard bottom but mesh top and sides.) These are one of the best ways to protect your feet while kayaking, diving, and snorkeling. You may want your own...
