For digital nomads, the creator emphasizes checking internet speeds at accommodations to avoid slow connections.

Creator's Key Takeaways

I would say on minimum seven days it doesn't matter where you're coming from you need at least seven days here in my opinion

make sure you check the internet speeds of the resort or the hotel you're going to book at because if you go all seven days at the same place and they have slow internet

when it comes to using your card they do accept American Express at about 50 percent of the establishments in volley from my experience they do accept plenty of visa and plenty of MasterCard

be willing to try some of the local Cuisine but if you're not one of those people who wants to be adventurous with food there are going to be options for you that are relatable to westerners
