One seems to be forgetting that LaPlage has one of the cheapest maintenance fees on the island. Many of the guests there do not rent a car, since it is convenient to just about everything. The small charge for parking is ok with me....it pays for the security guard to watch over the cars, and that is fine with me! Of all the years of coming down, i have never heard any of the owners complain about the small parking fee. Funny, it seems like the only ones that ever complained are non owners who don't stay there.... Would rather pay for something that I use, than pay for something i don't.... If this helps keep the maintenance fees low, i will continue to gladly pay for parking. Underground, protected garage parking as far as i know, is only available at LaPlage/LaTerrace. that probably has something to do with the fee also.
