The generators apparently still get turned off. This would be no big deal in December, but April through August could be no fun. No such problem exists in Flores. I suspect that sleeping in an outside hammock would not be as stifling.

Hi,
My grandfather owns The Jungle Lodge and one of my best friends owns The Jaguar Inn... There is electricity most of the day but the generators are turned off after 10 pm... There are some back up generators in the hotels to keep the freezer and such but the rooms no. This place is in the middle of the jungle, so the electric plants in town do not reach it.
