The sea should keep you from having chronic sinusitis, but there are a lot of tropical plants and they live year around!. If you're not accustomed to these plants and all of the flora that grows, you might discover you're allergic to one or more of them! Additionally, if you won't be close to the shore much, you should have your own clean sea water handy.
Try a saline nasal RINSE (not a spray) A full warm water saline rinse goes in one nostril and out the other. It draws out all the gunk and shrinks the tissue (like swimming in the ocean). I've been doing it at work too.
The buffered salt doesn't 'sting' as much as plain salt water. You can use a new method like Nasopure, or the vintage, Netipot. The special bottle and salt is about $20.
You can do this a often as you like with no bad side effects.
You don’t need a prescription for this therapy. So if you live in a state like mine, they’ve pretty much “outlawed” sudafed medicine. Drug-free is really the way to go on a frequent-use basis. (I put in a link for “what” and “how” – there’s also some good info on wiki)

Well, I studied at La selva in COSTA RICA... everything is green there.... its the most biodiverse country in the world.. has rainforest.. dry forest... cloud forest... many many differnt types of plants and animals.. throughout the country so my guess would be you could have allergies to a number of things there.. although if not from the area probably not the same as the ones you are currently exposed to... GOOD LUCK .. have fun.. wonderful country .. PURDA VIDA... and make sure to try the coffee and a "cuba libra"...

Allergies are dependant on what you are allergic to. Although I suffer from horrendous allergies "at home", I rarely have difficulties when I travel to new areas of the world... at least initially.
Make sure you pack any allergy medications that you normally use. If you use prescription meds, make sure you take them in the bottle they were dispensed in.
Happy traveling!
