In the heart of restaurants, shops, and living like a local- you get to experience it all. We had a great time at this location, and was a perk you can part of the ocean from the Patio. We had a sunset dinner at Island of Lava Java and loved being super close to stores for this part of our trip (first three days).
Tip: if you are bringing in lots of food or luggage there are carts in the lobby hallway you can you can use and bring back down.
