And anyone who had two brain cells to rub together wouldn't touch any of them.
Cocoons - well away from anything that could be called real life - and the prices are obscene with it. Guess it provides employment and guess most of the revenue raised goes off-shore.

Alice,
Why so bitter?
You said that these places are "cocoons - well away from anything that could be called real life."
Well, obviously they are somebody's real life, just not yours or mine, although anybody staying at thr Royal Malewane -- recenly available on my beloved Luxury Link for only $500 USD per room per night for a four night package -- would likely find themselves dining with some other couple that paid, oh, about $6,500 USD more a night for the room. My guess would be that celebrities stay in these types of rooms, and probably are able, like anyone else, able to get a discounted rate. I cannot imagine that these suites at the rack rates listed get too much action, but I am sure that the lodge would rather sell them, even at half price rather than see them sit empty.
