Yes, but there are only two real suites per floor. You have to insist to get one.

There are lots of taxis at the airport, but I rented a car. Even the major international car rental companies have junkie old cars, but it makes seeing the island and going to out of the way beaches much easier.

They accept USD and EUR everywhere.
