I am highly skeptical of this property - it looks like Vegas on steroids - and I usually deplore such gaudy, 'in your face' properties.
That said, some agents just went there the other day - agents whose opinions I trust very much - and they were surprisingly happy with the product.
Those same agents visited the Park Hyatt and said they had the worst hotel food/hotel restaurant meals of their lives.
Will be interesting to check it out, that's for sure.

Also can't find much to complain about PH food. Breakfast wasn't quite to the same standards of top hotels in HK, but certainly not bad. Can definitely say the same about their restaurant for dinner.

Well , my trip to England in October is likely cancelled .
However , was toying with a trip to Kent & would have stayed a couple of days at London Beach Hotel , St Michaels / Tenterden . Not quite this forum but has a decent spa / pool & golf course .
Quaint town with boutiques and some really good pubs / restaurants nearby
Close enough to Dover ?

Greatly looking forward to hearing about the newly renovated Strand - we had a lovely stay here when it was managed by Amanresorts and will always remember lobster thermidor in the restaurant when we were the only two diners. A fabulously atmospheric place to stay that only lacked a pool or any outside area. It seems The Strand is linked to a river trip -

As for myself, next month, it's Cobblers Cove for a few days in Barbados.

Siem Reap
Amansara 9-12 March 2017
? 12-14 March
Looked at Phum Baitang but wasn't the best of time apparently.
Thoughts between Park Hyatt, Belmond, FCC and a host of others there?
