Either the conrad or the gili when booking via hotels.com they wanted a good few extra hundred dollars at checkout.. Vs the W which will supposedly only charge $36

How do you get to 1.4MM for 2 people?
$1,200 a night takes a lot of A+..

$1200 became like $800 with hotels.com credits & then I used some GC's I bought on discount & then I arranged to raise $$ not via A+ points.. Wasnt worth using points for this

Thank you, I gave serious thought whether to stay at the brand new St Regis or rather stay at the W.. I stuck with the W because I don't want to be the guinea pig to practice with kosher & yidden.
Wouldve been cool to be from the first ones to write up a report from the St Regis but I'm not ready to be experimented on.  :D :D

Map attached of my 2 week trip IY"H.

Highlights of the honeymoon trip is:

Maldives
Hong Kong-Macau-Shenzen (Shabbos 1)
Koh Samui
London to meet my Chapshnell family, grandparents & great grandmother. (Shabbos 2)

I know that the Conrad, W & Park Hyatt "paths" have been "set forth" by some yidden.. I dont "think" many yidden have stayed at the constance.. At least not ddf'ers... Am I wrong?
Same reason why I am not staying at the brand new St Regis
