Do not book this trip

Worst waste of time and money. We were picked up at 6am for this trip. We went on to pick up another couple from another hotel, then the driver picks up two girls and a child from auto zone to join us on our trip. The first stop, we arrive to a street where everything is closed. We get out of the car to wander a street where there is nothing going on. Next stop we are taken to a pearl shop where they made us sit through a demonstration and sales pitch. When we finally did arrive to the beach, there was a huge line of cars waiting to get into the beach. The highlight is no one tells you that’s its jellyfish season and if yiu go in the water, plan on being stung. I was stung twice while there and had to be treated by a medic. 90 percent of this trip which is a 9-10 hour trip, you are stuck driving in a van. Unfortunately the people we picked up from auto zone along the way were rude, loud and drunk. They ruined what was already a bad trip for everyone.
