You can stop at a cigar place and roll your own cigars. Buy rum in the factory and souvenirs in the market such as paintings, things made from cow horns, statues which were made in Haiti, cd's, amazing hand designed photo albums, t-shirts, beach bags with shells etc.
You can also visit Ocean World Dolphin Swim and as they say it is an experience of a lifetime. The charge of $145 includes a lunch (but no drink) and transportation to and from the hotel in a bus and access to all the shows and the snorkel reef, beach and pool.
The sea lion show is fun - these animals are intelligent and they are great. They also have shows with birds, dolphins and sharks. And the dolphin swim is terrific. You can purchase the pictures after for about 10$ each but you can also carry your camera. The gift shop has great stuff at affordable prices.
There are also good excursions for a Safari which also goes to the waterfalls, a Catamaran ride and a visit to Paradise Island.
