Have not been since 1996..be warned the little boutiques and gift shops will be very pricey..and I had a few really snippy saleswomen too as I purchased just a few cards and hair scruncies .. They were French, and spoke only French around me..they were extremely short with me and made snide side comments about the bourgoise people from the US..however I am Italian and French and understand enough of both to get by..I gave it back to both of them and let them know that if they acted like that to all the tourists they would not have a business and sailed right outta there...the fresh fish and meat markets had no refrigeration or windows..be warned it's plenty stinky and lot's of flies in that section!!..Personally I might do a land tour IF I got off on the island again, the island itself is gorgeous.. but I don't like Guff from people that look down on me because I'm not spending UP to their standards!!!...Have a great visit!!....Joanne
