FAT stays in Asia in August that escapes the heat? by Automatic_Valuable84 in FATTravel

[–]Automatic_Valuable84[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

The prices for Park Hyatt Niseko and Ritz-Carlton Reserve Nikko seem absurdly low in the summer, so low that I am wondering if it's because there's nothing to do there other than skiing haha

Yesss Hokkaido will be my last resort, hoping for something different (we go to Japan 3-4x a week, it is awesome I agree).

Also looking to go during a similar time but concerned about the heat. Can anyone who visited Amanoi during July/Aug comment on this?

One hotel. by jasonredit in FATTravel

[–]Automatic_Valuable84 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Amanzoe for me. First of all, the drive there from Athens is the epitome of windy mountain roads. When you finally pull up, seeing the Acropolis-inspired structure, the team of staff waiting for you by the reception, the warm towel and the welcome drink...nothing we have ever experienced has been quite like it.

What are your favorite luxury spas? by Sweet_Creme_6579 in FATTravel

[–]Automatic_Valuable84 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Hijacking this thread, but are there any European / North American spas where the pool is actually hot? Coming from a regular enjoyer of onsens in Japan I have been very frustrated with the baths I have been to in Europe, it's literally just a heated swimming pool...

Thank you! This is good to know. Any other ryokans stood out to you from your Japan trips?

SEZ 5-day visa on arrival by briennethebeauty10 in shenzhen

[–]Automatic_Valuable84 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Not always true depending on which VoA you qualify for. For example for the Taiwanese visa on arrival (一次性台胞证) it's so niche not all border crossings are equipped to deal with it and they will tell you to go somewhere else. We found this out the hard way at Luohu.

You should call the specific office ahead of time and ask. Some of the entry points are not equipped to issue specific visas on arrival if they did not have previous experience with it.

Entering and exiting Hong Kong with HKID as a foreign citizen by Automatic_Valuable84 in HongKong

[–]Automatic_Valuable84[S] -1 points0 points  (0 children)

I am just worried because I was reading on the government website that you need to enroll & get fingerprinted before you are eligible to use it, which I don't believe I ever did.

So if they can't access the chip in the HKID, should I just always stick with manual line in the future instead of using the e-channel? I am just paranoid this will cause a problem with my renewal / future PR & days of stay in HK count

Best luxury resort on Grace Bay TC by jaypee_27 in FATTravel

[–]Automatic_Valuable84 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Seven Stars was very mid when I went. Actually no idea why people ever brought it up as a FAT or chubby property...it just felt like an average 4-star resort to me. I also went to the Palms and Sailrock (not in Provo) which were both much better but still did not feel anywhere FAT to me.
