To make the most of your stay, here are a few must-have items:

• Insect repellent: Mosquitoes are common, so come prepared.

• Sunscreen: The sun can be strong, especially from 10 a.m. to 3 p.m.

• Toiletries: Essentials like shampoo and conditioner are available at local stores, but you might want to pack your favorites.

• Swimwear & sandals: With beautiful beaches nearby, you’ll definitely want these.

• Sunglasses & hats: Protect yourself from the bright, tropical sun.

• Casual clothes & comfy shoes: Lightweight shorts for the beach, and tennis shoes if you plan to explore local hiking trails like Acantilados de Cabo Rojo.

• Cash: While credit cards are widely accepted, smaller businesses may only take cash or payments via ATH Móvil, a local app. ATMs from major banks are readily available.
