We've been to other countries several times and this was the 1st time we ever encountered anything like this. Others we've talked to go yearly and love it. It's all just the luck of the draw anywhere you go I guess.

I just have to go by my own personal experience. They actually tore one of the pages in my passport in front of me and said it wasn't valid. When I asked to speak to a supervisor, he showed up, tore a different page and then told me he'd let me pass through as a personal favor if I handed them cash. It was like watching a movie that I couldn't pause.

We didn't leave the resort after that, and I'm sure missed a lot that the country has to offer.
