If he's not into the AI fancy stuff, you can't beat Roots Bamboo for atmospheric immersion. Roots has a concert every Wednesday, the crowd that hangs out at Roots is of the younger variety. Ted, Effie and the gang take care of their guests very well. Roots is very rustic, cabins on the beach with a rotating fan, communal showers, just like in campgrounds, camping is available as well. The money you save from paying for fancy AI type of rooms can be spent on food and drink and you'll still end up ahead.
Just a thought.
