What travelers are saying

"Much of the trip common meals catered for the lowest common palate and often we ended up eating relatively western versions of food or at western style restaurants for family dinners. Which may or may not be your style. A few places the accomodation was nice but a bit far from the activity hubs in town. I probably would have preferred slightly worse accomodation to be closer to activity areas or to meet other people."
