Ted was great, and the neighborhood was upscale. Most everything of interest is fairly close. The caves were awesome, as were the beaches and designer cocktails served at the St Regis. The Brazilian Cardinals will breakfast with you for a few crumbs, and they are lovely. I didn't notice a thermostat, but air conditioning was not necessary anyway. We slept with the sliding glass door open all night, and it was exhilarating. We slept like the dead!
