We did not know where to pick up the tour bus, as no bus driver had a sign, and no bus was marked with "wow" tours.There was no sign with our name, so we continued to fence just outside the port entrance.
After like 30 minutes, a bus stopped (from another tour company name) and picked us up.
Our native guide was very knowledgeable about the area, at least from what we could understand. His english was not that great, and it took a lot of effort to
try to figure out what he was saying. He was very nice.
This tour is worth about 1/3 to 1/2 of what they are charging.
The views were nice on the bus tour.
The beach portion was too short. At the beach it was hard
to find chairs. There were NO beach amenities included. You must pay for
the beach chairs, and everything else you might need. And the gal who collected the chair money tried to charge us for beach entrance, after we paid it with the tour. (there were bathrooms)
The beach area sits next to a "mall" (more like a 2-story shopping plaza) that was
not that good. Many shops were closed. Not worth a visit.
Mambo Beach was beautiful, but crowded. There is some shade which is really nice.
