Rest and Relaxation Best of IgoUgo

Overview

Quote:
The best thing to do while in Freeport is to go into Lucaya and go to Unexso and do the Ultimate Dolphin Experience! They take you out on a boat into the ocean with two dolphins. Ours just so happened to be male, 20 years old, 9 feet long, and 500 lbs each. While on the boat ride, the instructor has them jump and do tricks for plenty of photo opps.

Xanadu Beach Resort and Marina Best of IgoUgo

Hotel | "Xanadu Resort and Marina"

The resort is right near the beach and there was a small straw market on the beach. Make sure you bargain! The beach is calm and gets kind of full on some days.

Pier One Best of IgoUgo

Restaurant

Quote:
At Pier One every night at 7, 8, and 9pm, they ring a dinner bell and throw scraps out into the ocean where WILD SHARKS feed. It was an awesome experience, the food is good, and the portions were suitable for the price. If you are taking a trip to Freeport, you definitely need to go to Pier One – it’s a great experience!

Stoned Crab Best of IgoUgo

Restaurant

Quote:
The Stoned Crab is a laid-back resturant nestled right on a beach. With the sound of the waves crashing and the hospitality of the workers, your experience will be well worth it. If you are into good seafood, then the Stoned Crab is where you want to go!
