Arrow Westin Turtle Bay Resort & Spa, Mauritius [Master Thread]

Does anyone have an upcoming reservation at The Grand Mauritian Resort & Spa?

I can't seem to find much information on it here or on the net. Like: was it built new or is it a remodeled hotel changed to Luxury collection?

I have a stay here in 09 and will report back then. Hoping someone has a reservation shortly after it opens on June 1, 08.
