Is this a good city for single people? For couples? For families? Why or why not?
There's something for everyone. - May 2021
It is not a great city for single people, but doable. Like most countries, it's probably easier to be a single man than a single woman. Couples great. Families maybe not great -- not sure. - Mar 2017
I don't think it's a good city for anyone. - Apr 2016
It is tough for families because there aren't any activities outside of school. Some singles and couples have enjoyed the very active nightlife. Like any developing country, it is what you make of it and depends on how much effort you put into getting out of the house. - Mar 2015
This is a tough environment for everyone but probably best for couples, singles and families with holder children. This is a very difficult post for those with young and preschool kids. There are no green spaces except for one private pay-to-use park with play structures near the Embassy and the Embassy has a pool and a swing set. Those with small kids are very claustrophobic. - Aug 2014
Ok for singles and couples. Ok for families with younger kids. I would not want to be here with older kids (10+) as there are very few activities for them and they would get very bored. - Jul 2013
Okay for couples. Outdoor space is limited and unsafe. Therefore it is not good to be alone or with family. - Apr 2013
not for families with babies or small kids, due to poor medical care - Aug 2011
Singles will have a good time partying, but it can get lonely. It's a tough city for families, especially with small kids. - Aug 2011
Singles mainly. Very difficult for families. Nowhere for children to play beyond the beach. - Apr 2009
