Transport relies heavily on taxis or ride-sharing services. Since attractions are spread out, pre-planning is essential. While beaches are relatively close, public transit is limited, so private transfers or rental cars are recommended for efficiency.
The dry season from September to February offers the clearest waters and most sunshine, perfect for snorkeling and beach activities. This is also the peak tourist period, so booking accommodations well in advance is advisable.
