Room Tax
A 10% government tax is charged on all accommodations. Most hotels add
gratuities ranging from 6-10% to this amount.
Sunburn
Nothing will slow down your vacation faster than a sunburn, your biggest
danger in the Caribbean. You'll be surprised, even if you don't burn easily
or if you already have a good base tan, how easily the sun sneaks up on you.
At this southern latitude, good sunscreen, applied liberally and often, is a
must. This ailment ranks as the number one travelers' concern through-
out the Caribbean. You are especially vulnerable while on the water; sea
breezes may cool the skin but they don't prevent burns. Many snorkelers
wear T-shirts to protect exposed backs from these strong rays.
Sunscreen lotion is sold on all the islands, but
prices are steep; plan ahead and bring your fa-
vorite brand from home.
