My wife and I have been there twice and enjoyed it very much. We found the locals to be very friendly and helpful. It is "rustic" in that it hasn't caught up to the tourist craze just yet. Our top three choices for restaurants were closed due to a variety of incidents that could only happe...

We had someone from our group put both hands down in the water - each, right on top of a sea urchin. It was very painful for her. The clinic on the island said there was nothing you could do other than soak it in vinegar. If you try to pull the spikes out, they just crumble. Always look for sea urch...

The highlight of our week was an overnight cruise on a tri-maran with our group of ten. Seems extravagent but, if you're going to take a couple of excursions, this might stre...
