I loved the ocean right out the back door and clear sky providing some great stargazing, accompanied by the roar of the ocean. The lack of air conditioning wasn't an issue, at least not in January. While the coral just a 1/4 mile down the road is in distress from all the people it was still a great place to snorkel with a good variety of fish. It's a short car ride to the main tourist area with shops and restaurants. There are a few restaurants in a small shopping area less than a mile away. For us it was the right kind of location.
