It's a very nice property. They have a great pool, and a nice private beach area with a cool view of the giant cruise ships. The straw market is right next door, as well as Senor Frogs, if you're into that. You can walk across the giant bridge to Paradise Island if you want to. Also recommended are Stuart's Cove diving, and the Robinson Crusoe shipwreck tours. There's a Pirate Museum just next to the hotel as well...

As far as the hotel goes, its a nice property with the amenities you would expect from a Hilton. They have an executive lounge on the 6th floor that extends to the balcony; they had the normal continental breakfast fare in there. They will give you free bottles of water in there - something that is a real rarity on the island - they're $4.50 each at the bar downstairs. There's a live band playing in the lobby behind the elevators at night, and they're pretty good. I hope you're not planning on spending too much time actually at the hotel; it's a great place to stay, but go see the sights!

PS - do not be suprised to see "Energy Surcharge" of about $7/day and a "Guestroom Service Charge" of about $8/day on your bill... just the way it's done there...
