A few notes from a recent stay in Feb 2017:
- DSU upgraded to a Garden View Suite (eg villa)
- Diamond amenity was 4 chocolate truffles and wine. Macaroons are no longer an option:-(
- like the Park Hyatt in Dubai, the breakfast a la carte menu is gone - all the hot items are now present on the buffet line. However, waffles and pancakes can still be requested
- if you need AED, the front desk will do a "room charge" for a 5% service fee. For those who are inclined there might be an interesting manufactured spend opportunity here
- one of the front desk managers (so take the statements with a grain of salt) shared that the average length of stay is 6 days, about 65% of those staying are on packages, and 40% are from Germany.
