Swimsuit: two. One will always be wet. Towel: we provide it. Sandals: yes, and ones you can take into the water.
Repellent: pick one that doesn't smell too strong. Mosquitoes show up around dusk, especially near the jungle.
A book. Or two. The signal works, but after the first day you look at it less.
