    30:23 Wow - all of the food looks great.
    Simple elegant and healthy.
    Much better than all or most
    other resort offerings.

    Wonderful way to spend a early Saturday morning sipping a percolated coffee, your snoozing favorite four legged buddy at the side and imagine being there. Nice touch with Ingred Bergman and Humphrey Bogart at pool side as time goes by.

    The hotel's construction on these large stones and the hotel's English colonial -ish style, are complete and stylish. The interior has a beautiful color choice. And with spectacular scenery and views is a guarantee in itself for a relaxing stay. I would have felt at home here. And you can really feel like a real adventurer. With wilderness life so close. If nothing else, you will become an adventurer after this. The food was beautifully represented. Of course this was a wonderful experience, which you will surely return to. Great video.

    The landscape looks like a different planet, kind of like Mars, absolutely fantastic and I bet the desert changes minute by minute as the sun moves. As far as the tents, to me they look rather cluttered. I think I would stay mostly outside (pool area because of the heat) and only sleep in the tent.

    “The silence of the dessert is powerful” I love this quote because I lived around deserts at some point and the peace you get from it is unmatched. The saying is leave a man in the desert for a month and he’ll become a prophet. Perfect ambience for mindfulness and a healthy, superior intellect!

    I kept thinking of Matt Damon in the movie "The Martian" when he lived alone on Mars for over a year. I think he would have enjoyed these accommodations a lot more! He didn't have nice furniture, a claw-foot tub, an infinity pool or a chef! Not to mention a more oxygenated atmosphere :) The Sonop would be difficult to manage if, like me, one is as old as the desert itself. Perhaps a tent close to the dining room would work, though! So glad to have an expert traveling friend like you, Dr. LTE, who shares such marvelous experiences with us!This one was defintely "out of this world"!

    BTW, I think you should try out Gili Lankanfushi. It used to be owned by Soneva, and seems like it still has that great soneva luxury feel. I think it would be up there with Jani if you gave it a shot.
