This is a lovely hotel/resort on the beach, and the event takes place on the large, garden-style lawn area in the center of the grounds. Open seating allows the guests to get to know other travelers and locals. Be sure to volunteer for being taught the hula up on stage -- extra points for bravery and flexible hips.
