Official arrivals data. 788,427 stayover, 881,665 cruise, 44,243 day-trippers in 2025. Avg 8.4 nights, 56% resort hotels.

Directory listing local operators. Operator NAMES treated as reliable; all feature claims (unlimited mileage, free delivery, price match) are the operators' own marketing and must be labelled as claims until confirmed against each operator's own site.

COMPETITIVE NOTE, not a data source. This site owns the dive vertical with 70+ sites and an interactive map. Do not attempt to out-cover it. Link out to it where a beach doubles as a dive site — being a good citizen here is cheaper than losing the fight.

Page last updated 2026-04-14. Author states fees explicitly 'as of January 2026' and gives per-beach specifics. Highest-quality dated secondary source found. Fees below are attributed to this source, NOT independently confirmed. Note: this site is CC BY-NC-ND — facts are usable, its text and photos are NOT.

Multi-source synthesis, July 2026. Individual claims carry their own confidence. Where the underlying source was a business's own site, the record is marked verified; otherwise reported.

Monthly YoY stopover deltas through May 2026: Mar +10.1%, Apr +10.5%, May +10.4%.

Coordinates and business-managed hours are reliable. Prices derived from reviews are corroboration only and never promote a record to verified.

STALE (2018) and internally contradictory. Retained only to document known conflicts. Never render a fee sourced solely from here.
