Be mindful of the island’s characteristic schedule. The island is swamped during August. Other adventurous visitors will also be seeking out the island’s secluded beaches, so don’t be surprised if you aren’t the only ones there. Chances are, your neighbors will be tuned in to the same wavelength. Be sure to check properly for the transportation schedule. Be patient; the system is somewhat complex, especially for beginners. Don’t be afraid to ask questions; if the staff seem inconvenienced by this, chalk it up to local color, yet be persistent. It's a good idea to have arranged for your lodging before you arrive on the island. It might be difficult to find accommodations. The local road network is complex. It has many abrupt turns and switchbacks, and the roads are not in the best condition.
