We love how close it is from restaurants and Cruz Bay. During our stay, the island had 2 blackout episodes and because the hotel has it's own generator, our stay remained comfortable. We rented a 3-wheeler motorcycle which was located close to the hotel and toured the island with it. We had so much fun! Highly recommend
