This hotel is located in front of the Ocean Ferry dock. We brought earplugs and this was adequate to shut out the night noise from the beach in front of us. We had an upper floor room (you should definitely get an upper floor room if you can) and this gave an amazing view of the gorgeous caribbean water and the waves breaking over the reef. Our room came with a hammock to put up on the patio for reading or relaxing. The patio was excellent for watching the many people of San Pedro pass by. Our little table and adirondack chairs afforded us good conversation with our neighbours in the mornings/afternoons, all of whom were enjoying the touristic opportunities of the barrier reef. (We used Inland & Sea Adventures to get to the reef) We purchased coffee from the store around the corner and I found a nearby fruit stand whose fruit monger chopped up some fresh pineapple for our breakfast. The rental of a golf cart to get to Secret Beach was easily facilitated at the San Pedro corner store which rents them for $40 USD per day. I also walked to nearby Neri's tacos a few times to enjoy their delicious low cost tacos and burritos, so the location of the hotel was quite convenient. This hotel might be the best bargain you can find for a beach front location.
