Staying here later this month. Not seeing too much information on this property beyond this thread and the blog post linked upstream. No mention of the Globalist airport shuttle in the initial email but I'll follow up on that.

My flight landed at 6am local time and I was able to check-in early for a nominal fee. Was upgraded to their junior deluxe suite. Which is just the king deluxe with a couch and jacuzzi.
My family stayed in the deluxe suite twin, which is spacious and great for having family over or meetings.
Note, both rooms were on the 15th floor and the rooftop bar is on the 16th floor. The twin suite (room 1501) is right under the bar and weekends the party starts at 6pm to late night and the music bleeds thru. If you’re sensitive to loud sounds when sleeping, avoid the 15th floor.
The service here is great, everyone is happy to help.
Breakfast is a buffet, and the spread is quite nice and varied. There’s something for everyone. Breakfast runs till 10am, 1030 on weekends.
The front desk is very by-the-book. Which is good for globalist upgrades, but they were clear that only my room would have breakfast included, despite the fact that the other room was booked via prive. Fair warning, I’m not sure they’re familiar with prive here. I chose to deal with it after checkout with concierge. But if you book multiple rooms, don’t expect your globalist benefits to be extended.
Weather has been fantastic. Very cloudy and windy at times. Also, sprinkled for about 5 minutes one day. The recent volcanic activity has had its effects on the weather.
Found some decent places to eat nearby as the hotel restaurant menu is small and seems to not be popular. I never see anyone at lunch or dinner here.
Enjoy your stay!
Sounds like the breakfast is pretty nice. What is your opinion of the junior suite? I applied TSU because I have some expiring soon, and it seems my TSU will put me in the junior suite (unless they're generous and upgrade me again against all odds!) I'm a little concerned it's just a "deluxe" room with a few extras - the picture on the website is also just the same photo as the regular room.
