How would you rate Tarawa, Kiribati?
Personally for me this is one of the best climates on Earth. Consistently hot with very little variation in temperature. Despite what Weatherbase says, the record low is not 54F.. more like 70F
Not sure of the sunshine hours but I imagine they are not bad..
This climate is an A+++ for me

I'm almost 100% sure that is a mistake. And also for an island location. From looking at stats, nearby islands like Micronesia, French Polynesia, American Samoa tend to average extreme highs in the mid-30s.
D. Perpetual steambath. I wouldn't even mind it if it were contained to just 2-3 months ... but 365 days a year, with absolutely not even a possibility of relief? No thanks.
I've spent enough time in tropical paradises to know that while they are great places to visit, I could not live there. The ubiquitous condensation everywhere - on the walls, on your furniture, even on your bedding. Almost like you took a long shower in your living room and forgot to open the windows to air things out afterward.

Although it has to be said equatorial islands tend to be more pleasant than more landlocked equatorial places like Manaus. There's often nice tradewinds and a comparative lack of bugs and dangerous critters.

Hard to say. Sure, breezes provide a welcome relief, even though the air is as thick as peanut butter. On the other hand, the average lows are noticeably lower in Manaus than in Tarawa. And the highs are almost the same.
For the climate, I rated it B for lack of seasonality, but good in that you'd never feel cold year round.
