Spectacular! I have one question that might not get answered here, but I'll ask anyway. The man taking a dive into the pool (black and white still photo) looks to my mind as Manolo Arango who would be the owner's son. It looks like him as he was tall and athletic. Manolo and Robert Anram were the producer and director of a documentary entitled The Pacific Challenge which told the tale of Vital Alsar's Las Balsas Expedition. I was lucky to be one of the 12 members who sailed 3 balsa wood rafts non stop from Guayaquil, Ecuador to Ballina, New South Wales, Australia. The voyage took 6 months and covered 9,200 miles in the making. Manolo was a perfect gentleman who shared his hospitality with the crew members as we trained in Acapulco. The year was 1972. If that man is not Manolo, I apologize to going on and on.

The hotel was very modern and there was this stairway that probably was 30+ step and with a 15ft rise. There was NO handrail and the stairs led to a bar!
