Yes, it was a superb stay!

Booked cheapest advance rate with breakfast, and was upgraded to a superb Prestige Suite.

How are the rooms?
Around 110sqm
Large dining room with seating area. Very elegant design.
Separate toilets.
Bedroom with comfortable bed (but which is strangely the addition of two single beds)

Great bathroom with Boffi sink, large elegant bathtub, separate rainforest shower (I loved it)/toilets.
Very nice Clarins Eau Dynamisante amenities
Flatscreen television with large selection of French and international channels.

Value for $ or Priority Club Points? Would you return?
Yes, definitely.
We really had a great stay.
