Before choosing where to stay
Getting Around
Local travel relies mainly on taxis and ride-hailing services. Given its coastal location, allow time for traffic. Walking is suitable for short distances within the core tourist areas.
Best Season
Year-round visits are possible, but the dry season offers better conditions. Evening beach sunsets are a must-see; schedule your itinerary to capture this daily highlight.
