Did you ever get an answer to this? I have 2 kids under 4 years old and am interested. I've generally found when emailing hotels recently its about 50/50 whether the hotel cares or not.

Just completed a recent 5n points stay as Diamond. A lot of things here are wonderful and make this trip an annual highlight.

But compared to my stay last year, the food and beverage prices have rocketed 50-100% higher with no discernible difference in quality of volume. I can appreciate inflation etc but not on this scale. The prices are now so overpriced (think Maldives/Bora Bora prices) that the dining experience is compromised. They’ve also gone cheap on the TV channels; there used to be a good selection, but now there’s barely anything, and what is there seems to just be on repeat. It seems that the Owner (and/or the GM) has decided to maximise profits over customer satisfaction here.

I have some good news for everyone though - Marco is returning to CKS as GM next month! That might explain the current GM’s desire to max out financial targets before departing.

Thanks for this. We have been considering a stay for next March but we were concerned about some of the reports. However, if Marco is returning, thats all we need to know - he is superb and is the reason we fell in love with CKS the first time we stayed (but less so since he left).

100% agree - - I was just about to reconsider a return in light of the most recent reviews, but the Marco news is encouraging! Thanks Gold_Member.
