Hehe….. am I hijacking [MENTION=225231]Goldorak[/MENTION]’s thread? ……😎

I reporting in from my junior suite, and everything is as it should be (and why would I not think otherwise). Warm welcomes all around. Early checkin not a problem. Suite upgrade as expected (but not guaranteed). Gifts. Gardens looking lush and with bird life from wet season.

happy to report things are also picking up with new faces in club and dining room, with training going on. tour group of 17 rooms booked I’m told, and we saw only at breakfast. Definitely more people at the pool, but as regular visitors know, that is a 1/4 acre of pool each 😎. I also notice online room rates back to normal as well, going forward.

Lobby bar is actually closed for renovation so mahouts doing everything from club to bar to fine dining. So that means I am just parked at my club sofa overlooking tha pond all night. Club letter says breakfast is available there, but not the case. main dining room had people in there last night.

1 night club apéritifs served to table, next night buffet service for the 8! of us there. Best club food I have been served, changing daily.

also renovations in some rooms as you can here construction noise from wing overlooking fountain/library. Not a bother.

so 6 days of bliss ahead. Thank you Sofitel SR!
