First impressions:

The Ritz-Carlton luxury van picked is up on time and had captains chairs on every row, brand new. We were greeted by name by eight people on arrival after quick x-Ray security check.

Resort has been open since mid December but the actual official launch-promotion starts today. Occupancy level is 4% today (!) so we are almost alone here.

Resort has six wings, oddly named 1,2,3,5,6,8 plus pool pavilions and private villas. We are in wing 3 close to Club Lounge (actually it's a separate house) and its a fair walk to the beach. They have offered us buggy rides both ways. We are bringing two kids and the area is not well suited to prams/strollers - lots of stairs.

Club Lounge has private pool and a manned cocktail bar and currently serves breakfast to the whole hotel since the main restaurant is too big for the small amount of guests.

Work is ongoing all over the place, seems about 95% finished with a few months until plants and trees have grown into perfection.

Our Junior Suite is beautiful - pics coming when I have time to upload from computer. Lagoon access rooms have direct access to small lagoons connected to each wing but not together. You can splash and swim a bit near the room but can't get to main pool. Rooms without Lagoon access can't use lagoons at all.
