I went on vacation there about 5 years ago. I had a wonderful time with my wife! We did hire a taxi driver for the week, he told us exactly where to go and where not to go.
Dittos. We were there twice 2004 and 2005. A wonderful people and a beautiful island.
I went there and thought it the most apalling hellhole if an overgrown banana plantation I had ever seen. Abject poverty, with otiose tourist enckves set here and there.
