I hope everyone sees this Wall Street Journal article.

Coppola wanted a jungle retreat. What he ended up doing was running a hotel in central America.
All exude casual luxury, focus on great food and wine, and reflect Mr. Coppola's love of film. Palazzo Margherita's salon was inspired by the movies of Luchino Visconti ; ceiling fans in Blancaneaux Lodge came from the set of "Apocalypse Now." Even if Mr. Coppola didn't quite end up with his ideal writing retreat, he got something better—a great tale to tell.
