We weren't fortunate enough to meet John on our quick weekend stay, but we were very pleased with the hospitality of all of the employees that we encountered. On this trip, we were more concerned about the late arrival and availability of parking at that hour, so we totally missed the lack of air conditioning, but that was our error. And in early November, it was certainly tolerable during the early morning and late hours when we were in the room. We loved the coffee/fruit/banana bread for breakfast and even the sound of the tree frogs and rain through our open windows. Hope the rumor about getting at least room A/C is true, because then we'd consider and/or recommend your place at any time of the year. Maholo!
