Nice property though.
I sent my parents to the JW on a travel package for their anniversary 3/3-3/10. My PP status stayed with them to my surprise and they were treated better than I was at a US based Marriott I happened to be staying at.
I did let the hotel know it was their anniversary, but they went above and beyond. Suite upgrade from premium vie standard room. Champagne and strawberries the day of and day after anniversary, a couple of complimentary drinks at the pool bar I believe on multiple drinks due to status (my mom thought it was weird they kept thanking them for their PP status) and they were comped appetizers a few times when they were snacking at the pool. I told them I couldn't even get a bottle of water when the lounge was closed at the property I was at
I may have to give the place a shot myself.
