"Central location for our local island exploration! Room initially very dark with no central light and rather dim lamps. After expressing concern the front desk arranged for two larger lamps to be brought to our room… this made it much better. One suggestion for management… it would be helpful to make available some type of local map, such as those commonly containing advertisements for local businesses."
