"Sewer" smell is more accurate than you think.
I was there a long time ago. The ship had engine problems and we arrived hours late. You couldn't really do much with the time limitation and the nicer looking shops were all closed. I assumed they thought the ship was not going to make it.
My husband decided to check out a bar. I remember it was on a second floor. I was going to look around at some of the shops and meet him back there. Well, I didn't see much and went back to the bar. He was standing outside. He said the place couldn't be described and it didn't even qualify as a "dive". Needless to say he didn't even get one drink.
We walked around and went down a side street. The side walk was made of wooden boards and guess what was running underneath it. Raw Sewage. We went to the casino and had a couple of drinks.
Although I would never set foot into this town again, I would like to go back and spend time at one of the beaches.
