Overall, the trip was okay. The only downside was the extremely loud music, which made it difficult to have a conversation. During the foam party, the volume was so loud it hurt our ears, but we had fun.

Then turned back for a long swim in the river. I think a sea swim stop would have been better.Soft drinks were included, but they were disappointing,The boat trip to Side Old Town, booked through our rep, was much better.

The boat was a galleon style ship with plenty of seating, but sitting in the shade can get chilly, so bring a sweater. We sailed to where the river meets the sea, then sailed for a while. Then we took a bus to the market with the usual souvenir stalls, and then returned home on the same old bus. Overall, it was okay; I had a great time.
