can be good to get menus and talk to chefs in advance

ask for some lunch/dinner(s) or discount or a meal plan
because brando [optional] all-inclusive rate includes a lot >
all meals
24-hour in-villa dining (E80 per order between 10pm and 6am)
beers, wines, french champagne and spirits
one excursion per person and per day...list...shared
spa treatment per villa per day
Pausanias, brando also got a lease of 1 island (12 island atoll) from the owners/estate
south pacific - aman closed, laucala/brando new, properties (& beaches?) not well regarded
brando launched with higher rates, rates still high, laucala tied for most expensive in world
theres upcoming private island MacMyDay posted that will have few villas and ex aman GM
with aman closed, not easy to get beach villa in bora bora.. at FS they are few / expensive
wish nomade yachting / bora bora cruises was still around, only ~18 cabins on great boat
ratua is an interesting looking different kind of property, only recall one brief comment here
