Hotel is now closed, set to reopen in February or March managed by Drumoland Castle. Owner has turnover the property to the bank. Place will never work, over priced for the location and product.

We will have a look at Sentosa in January. Michael Luible (ex O&O Reethi Rah) is the opening GM.

pedregal is taking reservations from july 13, and is no longer only rack rates. all categories have pools. minibar and internet are included in rates. might be first beachfront villas in cabo?

$575 ocean room
$675 DLX ocean room
$975 capella room
$1350 estrella suite

above categories offer "escape to capella" through oct 15
- 4th nt free
- daily resort credit $100 > $350 (not on free nt)
- buy 1 get 1 spa treatments
- 1 free night certificate per stay (expires nov 20)
- daily breakfast

$1950 beachfront casita
$2450 2BR pedregal suite
$2500 3BR villa suite
$2750 3BR casita suite
$2950 4BR villa suite
$5500 3BR beachfront presidential suite

value-wise FS punta mita 3rd nt free is better during summer.

although FS doesnt have 1BR beachfront villas.

* schloss velden changed GM 10 months after opening. Henning Reichel > Roland Paar

* castlemartyr shut down after about a year, currently reopened under dromoland, GM Andrew Phelan

* sentosa GM left 4 months after opening, still no replacement...

dusseldorf (reflag/etc, good history) and telluride GMs dont appear to have changed, and cabo GM seems to still be peter bowling, who opened castlemartyr well.

Julian Smaldoni GM of tides riviera maya when it was good
moved to capella riviera maya in nov 2008
moved to capella ixtapa in oct 2009 (changed after 10 months, but good for a change?)

may be part of OORR dropoff. employee protests were shortly after.

Capella Sentosa

Michael Luible quit Capella Sentosa a couple of months ago after less than a year. Worrying.

Michael Luible was there pre-opening. Apparently, he has taken a sabbatical and is deciding where to move to. I have not heard who is replacing him.
