Owner can either be nice or pretty grumpy. I wouldn't going in there with children.
They have a little of everything and the largest selections as far as souvenirs, but you need to be careful with each item to be sure it isnt broken before purchase. Over the past 8 yrs I jave seen the man who owns the place be the biggest crab and also be very kind and understanding. He is hit or miss. We still go in a couple time a year when we visit the island.
Plus there are several other stores in the area with better prices and super nice owners.
I decided to research the owner after having two bad experiences there. Once as a child and once as an adult. I wanted to understand how and why somebody could be this way. I made a new Google account with a different name just to write this and after reading so many bad reviews online I knew there had to be more to the story. I was right. I won't go into it here because it's not my story to tell but he's lived through and seen a lot. Does it excuse how he treats people and children? No. But I know what's moral and what's right and I am choosing to leave a good review here and hopefully somehow he will change his ways. Originally, I was going to take the revenge route and write terrible things everywhere I could. I even considered calling the store and saying terrible things to him. His story changed my mind and taught me a lesson. Maybe there is still time for him to learn lessons too.
AVOID AT ALL COSTS! I went into this, disastrously crowded with junk, store with my four children and without two minutes my older two (11 & 14) came up to me and said that an old man told them "this isn't a playground, leave" i wanted to shop and pick to some things for the beach so told them to just stick with me. We were quietly looking around when we were then approached by an ignorant old man who again who again said this isn't a playground, leave" I must say that i didn't handle this well myself as i let his ignorance get to me and i used several expletives in the course of our"discussion" Needless to say i was asked to never come back which i never would have anyway after being treated so.
Before, I wrote a review saying the owner was mean to me and kicked me out. But today i came back he was very nice to me and my grandfather. I honestly thatink he was just having an off day that time. But honestly, he's quite the nice fellow.
