rob, great and informative report. and congrats on the wedding. sorry about your problem at CM. i stayed at JE last year and similar experience in essence - great staff eager to please, but not managed well. enjoyed it overall, but would not return.

we ate at rendezvous twice and really liked it too. my favorite was lobster thai style. hot! i was sweating! after, the eucolyptus (sp) infused towels were a treat. when i was there, glenn, the owner was the "barefoot chef".
