I like the beach during the day more than the cliffs. I'm not into snorkling and love being able to take a quick dip in the ocean or relax on a raft. I also miss my long beach walks when I stay on the cliffs. I do like the food options on the West End better, most beach restaurants tend to be overpriced and not so good. I can see those that find the beach vendors to be a hassle may prefer staying on the cliffs, they don't bother me.
