:D

No mention of the RBC or lounge access, just what I had typed above. I'm going to call the PLT Concierge later to change my Sat night back to the Westin and will ask if they know anything about lounge access. I was surprised to hear from them, they were just acknowledging the special requests/comments I made when I set up the new reservation on line.

Thank you! Hope he enjoy his trip. And hope he will rate SQ in the top... :D :D :D He should max his RTW to 39,000 miles so that he can go to Bali DO, and he can add SYD for later...

I played around with starwood bookings, I can book RBC special offers but only with 2 single beds though. I went to Westin Bali Nusa Dua site, and clicked on the "Special Offers" which one of them would be RBC.

So, you will stay both nights at Westin?

I think so, unless someone can find a reason that I should be staying at the Sheraton on Saturday night (okay, a reason other than the extra stay credit)? Between the e-mail and the FT reviews and the Heavenly Bed...the only advantage I saw that the Sheraton had that the Westin didn't was the ability to jump into the lagoon from one's deck? :p Thoughts?

It's true though about Heavenly Bed. I like it as well. In SF, I prefer to stay at Westin St Francis, than Sheraton Palace. The bed makes a difference.

How far is the Sheraton from the Westin from the Conrad?

The Sheraton & Westin are next to each other. Not sure about their distance from the Conrad though.

Correct. Sheraton and Westin are next to each other. Conrad is in Tanjung Benoa. If I am not mistaken, it's about 3 km or 2 miles from Sheraton/Westin.
KuDeTa restaurant for Friday night dinner will be about 25 km from these hotels. Bumbu Bali for Saturday night will be quite near.

IIRC Bumbu Bali is about 2-3 minutes by car from Conrad.

Here's some pics of Sheraton Nusa Dua and Westin (formerly Nusa Indah). Brings back fond memories.....

Ahem... StarG, sorry to be the one to break the news... Usually the Daddy gives out the hong bao... So maybe we should all call you daddy now that we know your standards for hong bao!!!! :P

Uh...gotta admit they are right StarG...assuming they/we are not married, we'll get to collect from you!

Not in this family.... :D :D :D
You start working, Daddy gets the hong bao.
Daddy needs all the help to pay for PPS.

I sent an e-mail back to the person (Res Sales) at the Westin asking about lounge access & breakfast for PLTs -- response was

Regarding your question pertaining the Platinum privileges, I am delighted to inform you that as platinum member you are entitled for :

I did let them know that there would be 3-4 PLTs and at least a couple GLDs staying there in the same group with me, some for one night & some for two (I couldn't remember the exact numbers, but figured that would be close enough). So they've been forwarned!

And thanks for posting the photos!

Unfortunately, I'm not going to be able to wing this one :( Maybe I should also go get my head checked as I'm passing up an opportunity to fly SQ Raffles LAX-SIN-DPS-SIN-SFO.

I guess next time.
