The prices are now so overpriced (think Maldives/Bora Bora prices) that the dining experience is compromised. They’ve also gone cheap on the TV channels; there used to be a good selection, but now there’s barely anything, and what is there seems to just be on repeat. It seems that the Owner (and/or the GM) has decided to maximise profits over customer satisfaction here.

I have some good news for everyone though - Marco is returning to CKS as GM next month! That might explain the current GM’s desire to max out financial targets before departing.
Thanks for this. We have been considering a stay for next March but we were concerned about some of the reports. However, if Marco is returning, that’s all we need to know - he is superb and is the reason we fell in love with CKS the first time we stayed (but less so since he left).
