I went last year for 3 weeks surfing end of July start of August. We went on a 7 day boat trip too around the islands checking out the best surf spots, so much fun.
It awesome over there, everything is so cheap. You even have to bribe the cops if you are driving. One of the guys on our boat go caught for drink riding on a bike with no licence, had to bribe the cops like $20
We hired a car, buts its probably better to just get taxi's as they are so cheap and you arn't trying to carry much around with you. Try agree on a price somewhere before getting in because they will try to charge you lots at the end otherwise. Once we agreed on a price then he tried to double it at the end saying that it was a price for each of us. We just laughed at him and told him that is not what we agreed on and gave him original money.
As has been said watch the ppl at the air port they will grab your bags looking like they are helping then ask for lots of money at the end, happend to the chick we were with too, she thought he was just being nice haha.
Night life is still pretty good over there, probably even picked up more since, wasn't so many tourist more lots of surfers mainly when I was there. Alcho is so cheap over there, try the Jungle juice, $5 for big jug/cup, don't ask whats in it but fuck it will get you drink after just like 2(and a big hangover).
You will love it.
