Served there in 1991 and went back on a 3 week diving trip in 2005 so seen both sides of the coin! San Ped is a tourist hotspot now with developments all over the place. Still a few of the 'good ole' haunts up and running but with major refurbs; Tackle Box (although no shark pit anymore), Fido's, Reef Hotel and Big Daddys to name a few!
BC on the other hand, still looked the same to me but with a specially built shopping mall - in a loose sense - aimed at the cruise ships. Also had the chance to spend a few hours at APC lazing in the pool whilst waiting for a flight. Was good to have a stroll around reminiscing about days gone by.
The Rose Garden is/was also open (as usual) and I'm lead to believe it’s not too bad in there now
