Ugly port, surrounded by razor wire. The 'building' for local crafts was stifling hot and vendors very aggressive with little to no English, and of course cash only.

We thought we would be okay with a nice excursion to Amatique Bay Resort. Not! This may qualify as my worst shore excursion ever! First, the water taxis are FAST, especially going back. I've been on boats all my life and not afraid of water, but I do NOT think these guys were responsible in how they drove these loaded vessels over sometimes choppy water. Be prepared to get quite wet.

The only good part of the tour was the kayak part. Those guys did an okay, though brief display of how to use the boats, and excellent job of ensuring everyone got in and out safely, and then mostly laughed at us on the trip. Really nothing to see. Just scuffy jungle on boring, canal type 'river', no wildlife other than iquanas at the take out point.

After that it went even more downhill...rude guy at the 'resort'...herding everyone around, not letting us get drinks, or explore. We were supposed to get 'ample time to enjoy the beach, large pool and swim up bar" By the time we were back from kayak, and finally got a drink, we barely had 20 minutes to drink that and rest a few minutes, before they were yelling at us to get back on boat. And there was no reason we all had to leave. there were several events all leaving from same place and boats (water taxis) running back and forth almost continuously. It could very easily have been a shuttle service with time allowed for us to actually relax. The whole experience was so bad, it's turned me off to amost the whole country at time time. Don't go!
