Don't Forget to Bring ...

1. Sunscreen. It can be very expensive in the resort towns.

2. A towel for sunbathing. Hotels don't like it when you use the in-room towels on the beach.

3. A hat. In the summer, temperatures often rise into the 90s. It's amazing what a little shade will do.

4. Mosquito repellent. They're fast and furious on the coast!

5. Tissue packs. Many public bathrooms do not have tissues or toilet paper.

8. Sporting gear. Rental costs can be high, so if you have room in your luggage, try to bring snorkeling gear, wet suits, etc. with you.
