CLIMATE
Constant easterly breezes keep life comfortable, with the winter months averaging in the 70s and the late summer months averaging in the low 90s. An average annual rainfall of 40 inches assures us plenty of sunny days.

DRESS
Casual, comfortable resort and leisure wear is acceptable everywhere, with just a few restaurants requiring “proper attire” which would include a shirt with collar and pants for the men. You could need a light sweater on a cool winter evening.

Don’t pack too many clothes or shoes. During your vacation at Acacia Villa you could ‘live’ in a swimsuit. It is recommended to leave expensive watches and jewelry at home.

Luggage is sometimes “lost” for a day or two, it would be wise to bring a change of clothes and daily necessities in your carry-on bag.

Currency is the US dollar. Visa or MasterCard and travellers checks are widely accepted. ATM machines are available. Some foreign currencies can be exchanged at the banks.

AUTO RENTAL
A rental car is recommended for persons staying at Acacia Villa in order to explore our island and do a little shopping. The collective cost of taxi fares for dining out on several evenings would most likely exceed your auto rental fee. We drive on the left but you’ll get the hang of it right away!
