4.00Finding our tour was confusing. It was unclear where to pick up the transportation from the cruise port to the jeep that took us to the beach. Once there, the beach was great. Some confusion when redeeming the drink vouchers.
Do not book with this company (Blue Bubbles).

1.00Absolutely do not book this. The beach we went to was beautiful and great, no issues there. However, we were dropped off in the wrong place where we were told we had to wait for someone to come take us to the beach for almost an hour. We had just come off a cruise ship, so we only had so much time at the port and just wasted time waiting (with 2 small children in the heat on a random bench). We then had the person finally come, who we thought still needed to drive us to the right location, only for them to walk us two blocks away to the beach!!! We had asked staff multiple times about the status, if we were in the right place, what we were waiting on, etc. They had many opportunities to tell us we only needed to walk a short ways to get to our destination and didn’t. On top of that, the staff at the location they dropped us off at told us it was another $10 charge PER PERSON to be transported to the beach before the would come and take us. This is literally was we already paid for with the booking! We refused, but also told everybody else this and others paid feeling like they had no options. The people at this Blue Bubbles company are shifty and were not helpful AT ALL. Please book with another company. We had to make 2 separate bookings for 6 people as well, which was odd. Our actual beach experience was great, but it was definitely not because of this company.
