We are aware that for many visiting paradise it can be a sensory overload. The hectic travel schedules. The bustling tourists. The taxis, car rentals, ferry boats and barges. The left side driving. The stunningly beautiful scenery. The planning. Yes! The Planning. Where to go and what to do.We understand. So, what we have done is partner with some of our Villa Owners to compile a list of favorites that we call “Fun for Everyone!” We hope you find this information helpful.
Enjoy your stay!
