Now surely, common sense would dictate that you do not place a table of smokers, let alone cigar smokers, at a table where the "air intake" is located.
Short of making it a courtyard for non-smokers which they will not do, they should either relocate the "air intake" (which is supposed to be fresh air), an expensive task if not practically impossible, or designate part of the courtyard for non-smokers which might not make much difference since the courtyard is rather small.
Nevertheless, I am hoping they find a solution.
We barely smelled the faintest scent of smoke in our first 3 nights... then we felt like we had someone smoking in the room with us on our 4th night. It was absolutely disgusting. My wife is also sensitive to smoke and she had a number of issues following that incident. It was our last night and we decided not to worry about moving to a different room, but there's no excuse if the intake is the issue. That is a health hazard!
