Just a quick update, I spent 2 nights here last week. Gold on a cash + points stay, and I was upgraded to a room in the Lotus Wing with lounge access, and I was quite happy with the size of the room and how nice it was. I took full advantage of the happy hour both nights. Food in the lounge was pretty good both nights as well. One night they had bacon wrapped shrimp and chicken satay as the hot options, the other night short beef ribs which were more bone and less meat. Wasn't worth the hassle to try to eat.

Didn't see it full of russians, just lots of overweight Americans by the pool and fair number of Asian tourists. Word from a couple of the other people on a boat tour I did was that the Russian tourism has really been hurt by the collapse in the ruble.
