Hotel Royal Blue & Golf Cart Rental

Pros +

• Nice side of the Peninsula and town, fairly low price for this area.
• Nice side of the Island (the other side looks like a slum). I had room with a view on the ocean. Nice decorations and paintings, that beach is quite nice, even though narrow and the sand of mediocre quality. Enjoyed some great snorkelling.

Cons -

• Noisy, poor insulation, room in serious need for repairs
• Hotel looks dilapidated, not well maintained, huge scratches on the walls, needs a serious paint job, very noisy at night with a busy bar across the beach. Paper thin walls and one can clearly hear conversations from the next room. Within a few minutes of getting out of the hotel and into the street, I was approached by a hustler looking to introduce me to prostitutes. This gave me a negative first impression of this area, and made me feel a little uncomfortable about the area. Those ubiquitous gas powered golf carts and noisy and polluting. No public transport in that area, only taxis which most of them look old and not nice looking.
