Our suite, the Fantail, was gorgeous as expected. Huge picture windows, the most comfortable bed I've ever slept in, a fireplace, porch garden and unique art pieces throughout. but my favorite room was the bathroom, slate floors, mirrors everywhere, a monsoon shower directly onto the floor and a perfect black and silver clawfoot tub. The room was also wired to the hilt, with the coolest thing being the lights that went on and off by sensing movement. And not just the main lights, but there were little lights embedded in the floor connecting the bedroom to the bathroom, that would come on and off as needed to guide you in the middle of the night without shocking your system with bright overhead lights. I want. Also, all meals, drinks, minibar, pretty much everything was free (well, included in the hefty room rate if you want to get technical), which made for a fun couple of days. Lodge at Paratiho Farms (9), Room-10, Facilities-8, Service-9, Wow-4 (those guiding lights to the bathroom really stuck in my head,but the general level of excess leaves a great impression)

After our fun and informative dinner, we walked back to our suite under a breathtaking starry night, and there was never any mention of my birthday.
