Comments The boat crews were excellent - great service and very friendly. Would definitely request Jerry as our boat captain again.

The shop staff on the other hand was fairly rude. They would barely give me the time of day until they found out I was the trip leader of a large group; then suddenly, I got service. We had 2 very cute women in our group and they even gave them a hard time in the store. Once we had been there a couple of days and they got to know us (meaning we had some big spenders in our group), then the level of service changed.
