Know before you go
The practical stuff every traveler needs - weather, safety, costs and how to get around.
Best time to visit
November to April is dry and warm, the best window to visit. The summer is hotter and more humid, with a real hurricane risk from August to October. Bring some cash essentials - cards often don't work.
Safety tips
- Carry cash and basics; card payments and ATMs are unreliable
- Use registered ride-hailing apps at night rather than hailing on the street
- Carry a copy of your ID and leave the original in your accommodation safe
- Traveling with a verified partner adds an easy extra layer of safety
Accommodation & daily budget
- Hostel dorm
- $10-20/ night
- Budget hotel / guesthouse
- $30-60/ night
- Mid-range hotel
- $70-130/ night
- Meals (per day)
- $15-35
Splitting a twin room and transport with a partner can cut your daily costs by 30-40%.
