I've been to the island many times in my twenties . Used to do more all inclusives when I was married . Came with a group of guys once and stayed at nbcc. It's my first solo trip . I was hoping to have a guide with me for the hike . If needed . I've heard and red about trails in the area . Was hoping to explore more this time is all . I'm from a bad city myself a lot of crazies here lol . I'm pretty street smart and book smart as well . Also well traveled in Mexico and Guatemala by foot and back pack . Thank you for the info much appreciated . I may end up making my way to lost beach for three nites after my week at jays. I'm gonna talk to jay and Judith and hopefully they will have a friend / local to travel with me for day if needed to go see surrounding area.
