the complimentary transportation is done by a volvo strech limousine - including free drinks (ok - only water).
checkin straight foreward, as a platinum I got upgraded to a nice 2 room suite on the third floor with a nice balcony.
people are very nice and efficient, the food up to now very good (just tried some local dishes)...

the only problem is that it's quite cold here now (nights 15 celcius) - and after 3 month in dubai I completely forgot that there are colder places...
