A resort guest relaxes on the terrace of an ocean-view room, thinking how glorious it might be to have a warm flame going in the terrace's private fire pit, a glass of wine in hand and the chance to roast hand-made s'mores under the stars.

The room's terrace fire pit is flanked by Adirondack chairs, and, sitting there, the guest takes in a view of the Pacific Ocean and dramatic adjoining golf terrain that is reminiscent of the Scottish moors -- and unparalleled for the area.

Suddenly, the traveler's fantasy comes to life, as a vision in a specially-outfitted golf cart takes form beside the private terrace, offering to assist with fire lighting, outdoor wine service, after- dinner drinks, dessert on the terrace, and even hand-crafted s’mores for the family. The guest hasn't said a word, yet somehow, the newly-arrived vision knows just what might be needed to create the perfect outdoor moment.
