• Extra hair ties (loose hair can be uncomfortable on slides)

Waterpark organization

Dry season (December–April)

This is peak season with comfortable temperatures, lower humidity, and minimal rain—perfect beach and waterpark weather.

• Bring a light layer for occasional cooler evenings and A/C
• Pack long pants or maxi dresses for evening comfort
• Sun protection remains critical—UV is intense year-round
• Ocean water is warm and perfect for swimming (78-82°F)

Rainy season (May–November)

Expect higher humidity, warmer temperatures, and afternoon showers—but rain typically passes quickly and doesn't ruin waterpark plans.

• Pack moisture-wicking, breathable fabrics (athletic wear, linen, cotton blends)
• Add a lightweight rain jacket or poncho
• Bring quick-dry sandals and extra pairs
• Anti-frizz hair products for humidity control
• Insect repellent becomes more important during wet months
