Hotel wise the JWMarriott is an absolutly grand hotel with a very nice exec lounge.Nice location they have a free shuttle to/from the airport
sorry cant help about places to eat as Im on a special diet
as for where to buy the best place we found was either in the park opposite The Hilton or around the corner from the Hilton is the Mecardo and with a few hundred vendors. I found everything you would anywhere else in the country and it was either the same price or cheaper thats before the bargaining began.
Do go to the equator but make sure that you visit the real place which is to the right side of the Tourist setup and a couple of mins down the road on your left. At the fake equator theres a sort of village set up that is way over priced.
