you cant go wrong with Ketuts fixed price shop and many people mention her with good directions on this forum. Go up top of forum page and type it in 'search forum box' and all the messages about her will show. Really a 3 min taxi ride from Hard Rock or 10 min walk. At 1st glance it looks like a really tiny shop with very little but she has 3 (one hidden) and her prices are great she is fair and if you see something elsewhere just ask her how much she thinks you should pay for it and she will tell you or she will get it for you, either one. We asked about suitcases and handbags and lots of stuff and knew what to barter for after that. She is Not at all pushy, she doesnt need to be gets plenty of business and gives free h2o. Took me 2 days of many attempts to find her at first as I kept missing the little lane you go down but just ask, other stall holders will tell you where to go. The guy around the corner has a massive range of sunnies and you can barter him down pretty well or walk away. He knows he gets lots of business from Ketuts folks.
have fun and good luck cheers Deb
