We were just there...not impressed with this port at all. We just decided to walk into town and once (finally) we got through the new port area (meh.JMHO overkill with high end shops) we were kinda hassled by locals trying to get you to pay them to walk you into town...said "we would be safe" don't fall for this. We saw some that opted for this but certainly they weren't walked back..So...apparently it was safe.
We walked the short walk by ourselves to umbrella street area with no problems but once we got there...very disappointed with this "new" port.
Opinions might differ but this was many others onboard overall consensus.
