Two-wheeled vehicles are a fun way to explore all the scenery and personality of your Caribbean island paradise without spending a lot of money.

Even if they do not, the concierge desk should be able to direct you to a location at which you can rent one. Scooters and motor bikes are often available through car rental agencies.
