Most of us had rooms in the main hotel building equipped with ceiling fans but no air conditioning, except in the connected lobby, so it was annoyingly humid in our rooms. I also asked for a new blanket as the current spare one from the closet had a suspicious damp smell. Reunion Islanders were in a separate, nicer building with air conditioning.
