Nothing of quality at the Straw Market. The hat I bought was imported from China. Was ready to bargain for a bunch of souvenirs but things were so poorly made, I didn't even try. Disappointing. More

Apparently, the straw market has been moved and reestablished in a new area (according to a gentleman on our cruise). It resembles an open flea market, with relatively new "booths," which are packed high with items for sell.

We went to the straw market expecting to find some good bargains on unique crafts. Not the case. They have similar items and the prices are higher than other markets. They have carved fish/animals, straw items, jewelry and T shirts. If you want one of these items, go for it. More

It's better to visit a few hours before it... More

Multiple stalls sold all the same items. Same hats, same baskets, same jewelry, same tshirts. Obviously made elsewhere and not locally. In fact the wooden lizard toys were... More
