The prices are the same year round, that is correct, and the rooms there you mention are the ones I love best because of the large balconies with the hammocks they have..all the rooms have balconies, but those have the extra large ones. I stayed in 16 last time I was there and loved it.

It is about a ten minute walk to the main road..and I think there is just a charge for the buffet but no admission charge for the entertainment..sorry don't know how often the shuttle runs..last time I was there was in '09 and most of the time I just walked down the main road and would take a route taxi to the beach..Rick's Cafe is really close by, other places are a bit of a longer walk.
