Curated experiences perfect for your luxury travel style

Eat at local Caribbean food stalls and markets instead of hotel restaurants - typically 60-70% cheaper for authentic meals

Use public buses and walk around compact downtown Basseterre instead of taking taxis everywhere - saves 70-80% on transportation

Visit free beaches and public areas rather than paying for resort day passes - beach access is generally free on the island

Shop at local supermarkets and prepare some meals if staying in accommodations with kitchenettes - reduces food costs by 40-60%

Book accommodations during shoulder season (April-June, September-November) for 25-40% savings compared to peak winter months

Join group tours instead of private excursions - typically 50-70% less expensive while still covering the Easttimor attractions

Relying exclusively on taxis for transportation instead of using public buses and walking - can triple your daily transport costs

Eating only at tourist-focused restaurants near the cruise port instead of exploring local eateries - typically costs 100-150% more

Not researching free activities like beach access, hiking trails, and cultural sites - missing opportunities to save $30-80 daily on entertainment
