It is all very proper.
The door policy does not appear to keep out the sightseers. Earlier this year we watched endless lines of backpacker people wander past the Verandah with their cameras. Can't remember if they were wearing shorts though....
That's very interesting and more than a little off-putting that even the silk robes they provide you are segregated into color depending on the level of your accommodations. They certainly do have a thing about status! So what would the "best" color robe be, a la say, the Oriental Suite? I imagine it to be all colors of the rainbow and so bright that lesser guests will have to cover their eyes and cower and bow!
