Parking is easy. Room is clean and the front desk staff is very accommodating. We were just staying for a night because we attended the wedding. I believe there were only 2 hotels in this island, the rest are air bnb. We picked the family room - it has 1 king bed and bunk bed which my kids enjoyed. This is a good option for us. We will definitely go back again when we decide to stay in the island again.
