I rate it this way simply because I have been here many times. For cruisers, there is a Walmart directly across from the ship so easy to get some new things such as toothpast or whatnot. This part of town is not the best for walking and scenery but the local bus is very cheap and takes just minutes to get to the more historic downtown. I would not recommend a taxi because in the port are they will over charge about 400%; but if a taxi is your style, walk down the street a bit, then you will be able to negotiate a more decent price.

The malecon is what made this place so special. It went on for miles, was very developed and a great place to walk and get some well-deserved sun.

Typical port where one is barraged after leaving the tender by those trying to sell excursions. A few restaurants in the area, some hotels, and a beach area to the left. From the ship it is very scenic looking in, but on shore, the most charming part is the marina.

Many things to do; a city where walking is easy; the trolley is a simple 20 min ride to the boarder and outlet mall; lots of museums and a well developed waterfront.
