Hendrik Bernardus, Apr 2018
Pros (+) Scenery.
Cons (-) Everything is very expensive and quality is mediocre For example, maximum dollar prices are charged for everything, then 5% is still added for credit card payments. Food was mediocre, mass produced, low cost options. Avoid the rainy season at all costs.
