when price of something is considered high, its being compared to something
wasnt sure what properties (rates/inclusions) were being compared to brando
i did compare the inclusions of north, fregate, laucala, brando, necker, wakaya
probably the only reason i did not do brando during soft opening period is flights (i fly paid economy)

something that can be valuable to me as well
privacy is a hard cost (plus most aman for example targeted lower occupancy)
maldives and bora bora do not offer low density at high price
i bet no low-density in maldives because only leasehold & joint-venture, and perhaps sea level
