Traveler advice
Getting around
Rental Cars/ there is NO UBER
Due to our small island rental cars do run out. So book early. There are taxis on island but it is hard to catch.
Customs and culture
Good Morning/ Good Afternoon
Are standard greetings and expected in all establishments.
Also, it is considered disrespectful to wear just a swimsuit or cover up into businesses, please wear full clothing in all places of business (unless you are at the beach!).
Book before you go
COVID Travel Portal
The restrictions are changing often so check back prior to your trip. Currently you need to either test or upload vax card 5 days prior to your trip and recieve back a green scanner code.

What to pack
Bring comfortable clothing
No one gets really dressed up... casual dress is suitable for the majority of restuarants though some may ask for slacks rather than shorts for men.
I suggest flat shoes comfortable for walking on our uneven surfaces and roadways.
