I think they charge a lot to eat there.

Hi Bretteee, we only stayed there for 5 nights and never got bored. I think you could do various things in 5-10 days here. Conrad also tries to provide as many activities/programs as it can to guests. Some of the staff mentioned that there are visitors who stay there for weeks, even up to a month, and I can see how boredom can set in.

And yes, Ithaa is quite expensive compared to the other CM restaurants. I think they really count on the novelty of the restaurant to charge more. We only went there for pre-lunch cocktails.
