Choroni was dirty and a little unfriendly. We arrived in on a Wed and most restaurants and bars were closed and only came to life on Fri. We had to pass the local dump each day to get to the local beach. We were charged extortionate amounts for simple items such as a bar of chocolate. Wed and Thurs were not good for us but Fri the whole place illuminated and we had a much more pleasant stay. I would keep this in mind if sending others there in future. We had a great weekend there but the first few days weren't great.
