Yeah I do. Map says you are 8kms out of town but I cannot get gauge exactly how far away you are. Doesn't look like anywhere meaningful but at the same time does seem to be near the coast looking over the back of Bocagrande.

According to the map scale you are about 2kms from San Felipe Castle, which is a 15 min walk through Getsemaní to the walled city.

Hotel Oceano is near you and it says that is a 15 min drive from the historic centre, but then Hotel Boutique Alma is nearby too and that says an hour to Bocagrande. (That must be wrong)

The area seems to have some nice hotels in it, but I am sure last time I went through the harbour, that side of Boca Grande was all container storage facilities.

If you get it for 5˘ per night though you definitely have cash in the kitty for a taxi or three
