We rented the golf carts at a spot that was right off the pier. You walk across the street. $40/hour. It was great fun driving all over the island. The island has lots of golf carts going all over the place. Loved it. Golf carts are available that seat 6. ...
We just walked around and visited the shops. There is a fish and chip place at the end of the pier. If you find yourself there, get a Bloody Mary!!!!! ...

Interesting place. Typical tourist trap town with good eateries. As expected, a tad pricey. Simply too little time to see enough on this one trip. Due to the ship only committing one tender as a return the line was four abreast and all the way back into town. Simply not acceptable. ...
Golf cart rentals were $40 for one hour but my BF knew an owner there and got one for free. We drove around the island. Fun and different and nice to see more of the island. hate tendering ports though. Tender took 30+ min on the way back to ship. ...
