Stayed at this Hotel in August 2008 and was very impressed.
The Hotel itself had only been open 3 months and is located in a quiet residential area.
It is only 2 minutes walk from the big 'Hyper U' supermarket which has a mini shopping mall attached to it. There is also a very reasonable resturant chain attached to it that does good food.

The only downer on the Hotel is that it does not have a bar, I think that a bar is one of the single most important things...so was a little dissappointed at that.

Buses to the port and beach area's run from the super market and are very reasonable. The last bus from the port area leaves at 9:55 and you are normaly back at your hotel at about 10:15.
There is nothing local to the hotel open at that time of the evening so you are left to your own devices, this again would be acceptable if there was a hotel bar.

The beaches are NOT with in walking distance which you are led to believe. The hotel owner actually dropped us to the beach on the first day which was very kind of him......could not find a taxi to get back to the hotel but lucky for us we found a bus stop.

Avoid Taxi's in the evening as they are very expensive and some driver stink of alchol.

For a tourist with a car this would make a good base but think again if you do not have your own transport.
