If you are looking for a place to stay with proper AC, this is not the place. We asked to change rooms twice and the AC still did not cool the room enough due to lack of insulation inside each building (thatch roof), lack of power from the unit itself and the size of the rooms. This made us decide to leave to another hotel, whose AC worked properly.
The property also refused to refund us (they ended up refunding one night), even though we never stayed in the room (we booked two nights). We were asked to leave and come back so that the room(s) would cool down. However, neither room did, so basically the room we received was used to store our luggage for a couple of hours and we had to get booking.com involved in order to get a refund of any sort, and we had to eat the costs of luggage transport to and from the hotel since its so far out.
The location is far from most venues and the main shopping areas of the island. You have to pay for bike rentals where as other hotels you can get them included with your room.. Same goes for breakfast.. All in all, we would not recommend staying at this hotel, there are much better hotels on the island. Just stay on the west side of the island or the southern part of the port strip if you want to avoid more noise but stay within shop distance.
