We ran into very similar scams in Cozumel and Roatan last month right at the port side shops. They always try to get you inside their store/booth to demonstrate the product and then complete the scam
The cruise lines must be aware of this but resist telling everyone that their port stops are risky
We will be arriving at Coxen Hole in March on the Enchantment ots. We are interested in some local shopping and a few drinks. Is this possible without leaving the port area and facing the gauntlet of local tour operators?
Thanks in advance
A few years ago we ate rooftop
at the Hotel Milano. A few blocks from the pier, great mojitos, and good PR food(medium pricing). The rooftop eating area has great views of the city and the port area, but is not large. Check it out!
