Preparing to Travel: What to Pack

Clothing

The climate and lifestyle call for casual and comfortable clothing. Pack breathable, natural fabrics and plenty of shorts. Swimwear is ideal for lounging around the resort, while casual shirts and shorts provide the most comfort during excursions. For dinner, casual slacks and sport shirts are the best choice for men, and stylish sundresses are appropriate for women.

Essentials

You will want to pack sunscreen, brimmed hats, sunglasses, swimsuits, light clothing, a sweater or windbreaker, reef shoes, sandals, bug repellent and prescription medicine. You may want to bring your own snorkeling mask. For diving, bring your own regulator and dive certification card if you are already certified. Most importantly, bring a camera to capture every moment. Make sure you have plenty of batteries, memory cards and/or film.
