Very nicely made field report of that dead-boring place and i will take it as a reminder to never ever go there. With their prices you could have been easily staying in Saint Tropez which is a rather expensive 5 stars beach town full with first class entertainment in the South of France.

I don't think it sounds like that great a deal either. However I've been all over Europe and stayed in St Tropez way back. If you want 5 Star service there now you'll be looking at $900 a day at a wild guess.

I did say Saint Tropez its a 5 star beach Town just a simple hotel there and it will work out nicely. Am Just saying these prices for a “developing country” are totally out of whack for what they are offering.

Aw man, get there early or phone the boat company in advance, you do not wanna hang around S'ville for a night if you can avoid it. It was dodgy as hell and really expensive. $11 for the most horrible pork belly I've ever had in my life, dreadful hotel. It felt like a trap, I thought people were gonna rob me, just a seedy atmosphere in the air. "

Curious, have you been to that area of Snooky in the past, before it was gentrified in the last 4-5 years ?, or was this your 1st visit

Were there many (any) western foreign tourists around ?

Been there plenty of times over the years. It's not really that much less seedy than before, the little strip that goes up the hill from Ocheuteal, it just feels like the dregs are left there now, trying to milk dollars out of people going to the islands. There were a few Westerners hanging around drinking over-priced beer, but they looked more like full-time party animals than tourists.
