Clothing
Informality and island attire is the general rule. With tropical weather year round, loose fitting cotton or summer clothing, such as short sleeves and short pants are highly recommended. Hats, sunglasses, and sunscreen are an absolute necessity. Bring comfortable shoes, including athletic shoes for walking, beach slippers, and casual loafers or dress sandals for dining out. Evenings November through February tend to be a bit cooler and may require a long sleeve pullover or windbreaker. Additionally, most buildings are kept air-conditioned and can be quite cold.

Water & Electricity
Tap water is generally not recommended for drinking while staying in the CNMI. However, most of the major hotels operate reverse-osmosis water treatment within their facilities. If it is not adequately clear that the water within your hotel/motel is safe, bottled mineral water can be purchased at any shop, convenience store, or supermarket. Electrical power outlets are 120V, 60Hz
