I had 2,500$ pre-authorization for 5 nights. But the seaplane transfers alone were about 1,500$.

How long before arrival to email resort?

Wife and I are going in mid March. How long before arrival should I email the hotel to line up reservations for Decanter and send flight info etc?

The hotel will also reach out to you 2 weeks prior to arrival or so. Not everyone reads FlyerTalk.

Drones are not allowed anywhere on the property. The hotel mentions this to guests before they arrive and also when they get there.

Did you see any value in buying the F&B credit? It feels like a bit much for 2 people to spend just on food and drinks... unless it can be applied for private dining or something?

Yup, just did yesterday and it was great. Loved it. And I'm by far not a massage person, usually have no patience for these things so 50 minutes was just right for me.

Uh, if you'd do just a little research and reading through some of this thread you may realize that the food here can and most likely will be outrageously expensive. It isn't unusual for a regular dinner to be at least $150 pp. Decanter will obviously be way more if you're planning to do that. Add to that drinks and food outside of dinner and you'd be surprised that $350 per day for a couple isn't that hard to use. There may be some here that have said they weren't big eaters and wouldn't use that much, so if you're in that category then this deal wouldn't be a good value for you.

As far as private dining, I don't see why you wouldn't be able to use it for that. Does anyone know any different?

If you have a bottle of wine for dinner, that starts around 100 USD, a cocktail at the bar comes in around 20 USD. So you'll quite quickly hit 350 for two people per day.

Is Decanter $395++ or $495++?? I know that elite status gets you $100 off, but is it currently off $595 or $495? I've read conflicting reports. Hope you're enjoying your stay!!!

My bad. I read it as $300 per day/ per person for duration of the stay. That seemed a bit much. $350/day for a couple is easily doable given that I am not a Plat anymore.

Private dining is a custom/special activity thing (mostly). The whole beach setup, custom menu from the chef and all that. Last time I inquired about private dining in FS Lanai and it was north $600-$700 for two.

Yes, we're very much enjoying !!

Not sure about Decanter dining because it wasn't in our plans, we're fine without it, but I think I remember reading a little up thread that its $395. Perhaps that was after the discount though? Maybe I can ask my butler and I'll let you know.
