Several posters have noted that it would be great to see Oberoi hotels in India offered on LL.
Well, a few Oberoi hotels are now offered on the Asia board with the buy-it-now option.....if you have a spare $27,000 for a 10 day package! Can this price be correct? Makes Aman rates look like motel-6

Whoa! That is absolutely insane. Utter nonsense. There are so many things wrong with this. On the Oberoi web site the same room is $700-$800/night - expensive, yes, but where on earth did they come up with that figure? I have very little for which to criticize Luxury Link but this is beyond words. How did they allow this one to slip by? That's about $20,000 extra for meals, 3 days of spa treatments, and a couple drivers and guides. This is in India, where those items come cheap! And, anyone who decides to go for it, please contact me as I would be happy to put together the same trip for you for $26,000 - just for of allowing me to keep the difference.
Thanks for sharing this one Cruisinred, I am flabbergasted!
It only took two and one half years for Oberoi properties in India to appear at auction packages. Great job LL Sales Team.Quote:

The Oberoi Lombok is simply stunning , would open up another market for LL. Alternatively the property could come under the wing of Bali anyway as many people travel between the 2 by boat and plane to combine visiting Bali with Lombok and the Gili Islands.
Thanks!
look at the dates, jmbklj...and there was a major pricing typo--long long ago!Quote:

I agree--great job by sales team-more more more
Robert, I understand your interest, it's truly gorgeous!--Lombok destinations were not so easily accepted as Bali as the majority of LL customers are in the US and Europe; getting there is a huge effort. I personally think Lombok looks lovely but with the choice of 2 islands, Lombok would be on the bottom of my list (as well as the Gilis since a beach resort was not in my plans)
I was looking at some Lombok resorts when I first went to Bali, and frankly, they are not as accessible as I needed to coordinate my trip. I would likely not include Lombok on the next trip, either. I could be happy in Bali w/out a beach...just my 2 rupiahs!!
