I may have a transit in Feb as well.
Arriving on 9W at around 5am. Departing midnight on CX. So about 20 hours in total! (Both inbound and outbound in J.)

What is recommended:

- above transit hotel for 2 x 6 hour blocks?
- Taj at airport?
- some other option?

Ideally I would like the option of 7 hours sleep, 2-3 hour massage, maybe 1-2 hours nearby sightseeing / beach walking... (is there even a beach relatively close by...?)
