- welcome to the forum the legal gambling and drinking age is 18
- snorkel check out the conscierge at your resort and look thru the coupons in the little switzerland bag you will get on arrival
- the renaissance is within the shopping district (downtown) harbor area.
- the private island is out of this world sometimes mosquitos bring bug repellent
- i am not much of a shopper but there are big name places right there. some very high end shops
- Californai Lighthouse is a nice sight.....from the renaissance probably about a $40+ taxi ride r/t for the price, i would stay on the beach.
- READ this site under GENERAL & WATERSPORTS
- Renaissance Private Island beach! Eagle Beach.
