The suite probably should have been designed with the toilet blocked from view by some of the other features of the suite. There is only one door though as most any massage room has and so timing of the opening of that door would always be important as it would be with any other massage room.

Delhi Business Class Lounge
I thought I would ask on this forum, I am flying from the U.S. Business Class (United Airlines on United through Delhi and then on to Mele via Air India. I have a long layover and was wondering if anyone had suggestions on the lounge access. I understand there is one that doesn't require you to leave customs in terminal 3 and one does. Has anyone ever visited both and have any recommendations. I will have an India visa so leaving won't be a problem. 6 hour layover

If I were at the resort for multiple weeks as a returning Diamond, would I get invited to the managers reception at the beginning of the stay or the end?

We were invited for the first two receptions, but not for a third time on a 18-night stay in October last year.

We did a 12-night stay and were invited both Wednesdays that we were there. Not sure if the reception day moves around at all. The refills were often, generous, and even went past the 'cut off time' a little.

I can't speak to any of the post-customs lounge options outside the sterile area.

The answers to your first two questions are in the wiki. It's at the top of the thread.
As for your third question, there is a lot of advice that can be gotten here on the thread. You might want to read through a couple hundred pages. It might sound a lot but it's worth doing.
After reading a few hundred pages, you will have a much better idea of the resort and its facilities etc, and if you still have questions then please post specific questions here and we'll do our best to answer them.

Completely frivolous and odd question, but anyone know/can tell me currently what sort of potato food they have at breakfast?
Any wedges, hash browns, potato cakes etc?
Thanks!

There are hash browns that visually resemble the shape and size of hash browns they serve at McDonalds here in the states. The taste though is nothing like it. I love these and very much look forward to them. Maybe it is that that they are cooked perfectly or that the variety of potatoes are better than I am used to. They are served near the omelette station which is a bit annoying because the line there can block access to them.

Haha, yes.....we all are waiting to hear from someone who has actually done it (and post pics to prove it). I suppose it will be accomplished one day. There are a couple of self-proclaimed 'experts' on this (@mb123 for one) although they haven't done it themselves.
