Resort was a little disappointing. Streets are dirty footpaths are non existent. Scooters are dangerous ! Beach could be nice but littered with plastic waste.

4/5 - Good

Verified traveller

It's got lots of shops,places to eat,places to visit. The traffic at times is horrendous if you have a disabled person trying to cross roads with you because they don't stop,and the pavements are very uneven in places ie for wheelchair/buggy.

5/5 - Excellent

Make sure you haggle prices, go to different stalls and enquire about prices and dont just settle for their last price. Some people will get agitated with you, but dont mind that. You need to be happy with the price you are paying.
