They have a buy-2-get-1-free rate now.

Also, for 2,250 more you get the "Grand junior pool suite" which is 50% bigger. Those rates (including your 12k THB one I think) also include breakfast + 2,000 THB daily credit.

The "Alluring getaway stay 3 pay 2" rate does not include 2000THB daily credit.

Has anyone stayed here yet? The property opened 5 days ago.

I have a stay booked here in early February and would love to know what to expect as an SPG Plat.

rynoshark

Me too! SPG Plat considering stay mid-February...prices are 18000+ THB, are there any deals going on?

Flygirl_DE

This weeks' Starpicks offer you a rate of 14250+ THB. Better than no offer

I was lucky and booked early and the opening offer was 12,000 THB inclusive of breakfast double starpoints and 2,000 food bev credit, but this disappeared, wouldn't hurt to email the hotel and ask their best rate, can't believe they will be full just after opening and 15k is a lot for an opening offer no matter how luxurious the property

I drove past the hotel yesterday. It looks like some part of them still under construction. Wonder if there is anybody actually stay there.

SometimesFlyer

Its open for sure and there are paying guests in-house.

I will try to post a pic shortly.

Looks like off season (late summer, early fall) rates for this year are running around 21,000 THB, which is almost as much as the Conrad Koh Samui. Makes me wonder what their projected occupancy rates are.

We will check in at the end of February for four nights, including two on points at per night. There is a dining credit as well. Can't wait as I love a reasonable sacrifice of points for a new resort.

Considering booking here in a few weeks for 4 days to try it out in addition to our 5 day stay at the W Resort Koh Samui. Anyone been yet? Is everything in operation? How did they treat Platinums?

We have our 3 1/2 year old daughter traveling with us and have appreciated the Kids Clubs at other Starwood properties, do either the W Resort or Vana Belle have them?
