moskito island is not a hotel, but will eventually have a couple private villas (richard branson sold them) in addition to (existing) nice common areas. seems at least some of the villas will be rented. curious to see rates, wont be like bransons' on moskito/necker. also, branson started renting the branson family estate on moskito in late 2015, presumably over the holidays. launched late november.

not mentioned in article, interesting outside lijiang >

some fairly new accommodations at RC grand cayman >
they divided south 7th floor into one penthouse and four 2BR
even 2BRs include "personal assistant" and "private elevator"
since there are four, not sure if the prices are less than 'crazy'

edit - interesting if they open some with individual reservations in 2016 >
