There has been a lot of hype about this place for the past years, trying to get more people to come up there.
The water is clear and they have a lot of small islands, boats are the main form to get from one place to the other.
The draw back is they are having a lot of problems with land and titles and rop land there..
just this last month a american man who had bought 3 hts. there and spent his life savings building a resort got the whole place burned to the ground, was also beaten up. there trying to take his land from him.
The paperwork went missing from the main records dept. so the fight is now on.

Was a great place about 7 years ago, since then costs of going and staying there have more than risen by 500%... shame as it was and still is awesome, but the investment in the area has ruined it for me...

not to mention they just caught their own serial killer in May and some of the older locals despise many of the tourists.
Oh yeah, let's not forget the scenic beauty of the trash piling up or the in a casual conversation one can be offered drugs or protected turtle meat
