For the average person aor couple on vacation El Colibri is a much better choice than either New Garden ( no two ways about it, it is a PUTA hotel, albeit a nice one) or Tradewinds...on the other side of a busy highway and up a steep hill, plus it does not feel like anything like a resort. Walking to the main part of town is pleasant and safe from El Colibri, and you pass many restaurants and bars along the way, plus they are pretty strict about keeping it family friendly (vs. "guest" friendly).
If I were to suggest an alternative it would be Club Residencial, but I think it's a bit higher in price, and not as strict about about monitoring "guests"...
