Overall

three stars

I hear fireworks from my balcony at the Sheraton Hotel.(thinking maybe it's a pre-celebration for Carnival) Then, 5 minutes, I hear gunshots and machine gun fire. This happens every night we are there. There are military police on the beaches and streets every 50 ft. carrying AK rifles. We were told to not carry cash and not to travel at night. After the thunderstorms, the sludge from the tenant slums on the mountains, come down the mountain onto the streets and onto the beaches and waters. You can see the dark sewage floating down and into the waters. We were warned to not swim in the waters.
