i'd bring some cash..most nicer hotels have safes in the rooms so you can lock up your valuables..also the island is safe so you don't have to worry about carrying around some cash..some of the smaller places if you're stopping for a quick drink you want to have cash available..also if you go to the flea market or the boutiques by the marina you will need some cash to barter with to get your gifts for a cheaper price..plus if you go to an atm i believe it's a $5 transaction fee even if you're taking out $20..enjoy and have fun...
