Wander the candy-colored old town by day, then pile onto a rented boat to the Rosario Islands with the whole crew and a cooler of aguardiente. It's known for walled colonial city and rosario island boat days. A house near the sand, long lazy days, and a couple of boat or beach-club splurges — lodging leads, everything else is easy.

- Book the beachfront house early — the good ones go six-plus months out.
- One grocery run covers most meals; save the budget for two great dinners.
