I stayed in a quite poor village in rural mexico while on a surf trip. The houses were shaded, the walls were vertical slats with gaps to allow air flow, and they kept their floors wet. It worked. We prefer to make things excessively complicated.

On a surf trip, I'd venture to guess you were on the ocean in a high humidity environment? How well did the wet floors cool the air above them? I'd expect it wouldn't be that much if the humidity was close to 100%.
