There are many postcards and photos showing the tropical grounds and exotic rooms. I recently got this postcard of the crazy looking Outrigger Room where they went a little bit Tiki crazy. A very nice outrigger hanging from the ceiling, and how about that carpet! Some Tikis. Back of the card. Do a Goolgle search for images of this place, it was wild. DC
