Ooh, ask and you receive or beg and you receive…I’ve previously mentioned that a convivial hotel GM, someone who was truly born with the hospitality gene, provides significant enhancement to a property. Everyone always has one horrible incident to share – lost luggage, no hot water in a room. My experience tells me that I never forget the little extra’s a GM does for me or my clients. When I was in Cabo during the hurricane, Marc Rodriguez sent a care package of snacks and tequila to get us through the night – he, who was managing a hotel filled with guests and staff prepare for a hurricane. Little touches, lasting memories.

During my all to short stay at the sublime Amanera, a small jar of the most delectable coconut cookies appeared next to the coffee pot every day – it was a tiny, tiny jar of petite bites – how could 4 of these little bites contain ANY calories or sugar? With strong black coffee, I must confess, they are the ultimate breakfast tasting menu!  When I asked chef a few times for the recipe and was met with a decisive No, we all laughed and assumed I would never achieve a recipe…
