It's been a while since shortfinals has said which property he'll be camping out in the lobby of.
Paging shortfinals to the BaliDO Courtesy Phone...are you confirmed on a flight yet?

I was reading up on some past threads regarding SPG props in Bali. Looks like Westin is the better of the two, especially since there's a club lounge. I couldn't really care much about the lagoons are the Sheraton.
What about the Conrad Bali? Anyone staying up there?

cawhite60156, did they mention anything about lounge access? I wonder if they will upgrade to RBC rooms
Tried to book the RBC offer, but got an error. Looks like you'll be the first to check-in on the 26th. ^
CGK, Guttorm is heading up to LHR (SQ) tomorrow. He'll be in NYC on 16th (UA F), and then to NRT (NH New Biz) on 19th. I'm looking forward to reading his trip report when he's done with it all.

ws8n: It's more convenient to stay at Conrad so that my kids can play with my niece & nephew who are staying at Conrad as well with my sister. Anyway... Conrad is close to Westin from what I heard.

oh oh....
I was contemplating to stay at the Conrad bascially due to the fact it is a new resort compared to Sheraton / Westin and I had already stayed at IC Bali before, UNTIL Daddy StarG decided to let his kids wreck havoc there
but then again, it still might be better than the havoc that will be happening with the SPG Plats at Westin.....

Conrad was not my first choice, trust me. 
I just had a bad experience with them - held a conference there in early March.
They were so badly organized.
If you want to keep calling me Daddy, you should start sending me hong bao every Chinese New Year. Nothing less than USD300. Deal?

I stay one night only at Westin using points. Just to be with the crowd to have an easy access for the pool party.
