I am guessing since one of the nines of the golf course is called Hemingway that the "theme" was Cuban and of the era of his living there. AND the other nines are Kenya and Kilamanjaro.

I know nothing about Cuban food, but I do know that a good cook can cook anything and a good manager can manage anything.

I don't remember clearly either exactly what happened but there was a great chef on board there five years ago, at the beginning, and for about three weeks and then Poof he was gone and the rest is history.
