Before you go
What the guide flags for first-timers.
- Boat operators who add fees at the dock after you have booked: get the price, what is included and the weather cancellation rule in writing before you pay. (Scams)
- Time-share sales stands on West Bay Road and in Camana Bay offering free gifts for a 'short' presentation of 90 minutes or more: skip them. (Scams)
- Taxi drivers who quote a price for the car above the zone rate card: ask for the official rate card, or ask your hotel what the fare should be. (Scams)
