Travel Purpose: leisure
Positive: The staff were amazing. They warned us of the transportation strike (when our shuttle provider did not) and worked with us to find an alternative plan. The food was also pretty good! Thanks for everything Angela!!!
Negative: The kayaks are in bad shape and barely floating, be careful. We got sunk by a lancha coming into dock at the fort :-(
