What you might have is current fluctuations that could fry the laptop. I would suggest some sort of voltage regulator for the laptop. Current here is 120 (+/-), 60 cycle.
Same as the US. you can get very inexpensive 3/2 prong adapters, knowing that few buildings are grounded.
In Sosua go to Rocky's place and use his wifi.....he has good electricity.

If you're coming from Europe, despite it being 220/240 volt there and only 110/120 here, your laptop will still run and charge, but you would need an adapter for the prong conversion, to a 2 prong that looks like this.

The OP appears to be posting from the US and should not have issues. Occasionally some resort receptacles are recessed a bit and the use of a dollar store extension cord will solve the problem of plugging in transformer type plugs which have the plugs mounted right on the transformer box and will therefore not fit into the recessed outlets.

The only problem that you might run into is the third prong.
They don't use grounds here, so most receptacles are as in the pic I posted above, with only a two prong input.
So, you either need a small adapter, or you could bring a power bar and break the third prong off to plug it in here.
