Golf cart tour of the island's perimeter road (takes about 1 hour) . Travel from the ferry terminal ask South to Garrafon National park, the topography changes from sea level beauty (one of the Best beaches in the Carribean is located on the north tip of the island, Playa Norte (North Beach or Coco Beach) and drive south to walking trails blasted into coral cliffs. Spectacular views. Wear jogging shoes, hats, plenty of sunscreen, and a bottle of water.
The islands dangers: THE SUN, Dehydration, falling off a cliff. If you want to take a photo, stop at Garrafon, pull over and be extra safe on the beautiful walking trails. The cousine at Villas Marlin is 5-star, mostly Italian with an emphasis on fresh sea food-the grilled lobster is the best I have tasted in the world.

When you get on the bus have your money ready and move quickly to a seat. I prefer the busses to taxis. I feel less like a tourist. If you use a cab ask the driver the cost (QUANTO QUESTO) to __________ twice before you get in. Do not tip the cab drivers. You are paying twice the cost of a local when you use the cab.
Most hotels have signs that show cab fares to popular locations.
PLAZA KUKUKCAN, THE PLAZA (MALL) DIRECTLY ADJACENT TO YOUR CONDOMINIUM. This upscale mall features everything from fast food to RUTH CRISS and interesting shops. A nice capachino bar for morning coffe.
