Having traveled extensively for the last 25yrs of my life I would have to say this was a major disappointment. On the positive side I would say the beach is nice but its comparable to hundreds of other beaches around the world with more to offer. The country was very clean compared to most other 3rd world countries but those... More

We heard that the... More
