We have one free weekend certificate each; thus two nights in a beach villa.
Now the other 4 nights, we will be paying cash and likely booking a SWV.

I know upgrades are not given at this property however I am hoping for lots of positive goodwill ..... and trying to arrange my bookings to maximise the 2 reward nights be upgraded?

I am thinking the first four nights cash, then my wife, then me again .... hopefully the resort is not at capacity and we, luckily, get to stay in our original SWV for the last two (reward) nights.

or should I go for my reward, my wife's reward, then four nights paid.

I expect to move during my stay in any instance so if neither of the above works, my expectation is set appropriately.
Having never been, take my opinion with a grain of salt, but it seems like even a beach villa is an amazing place to be. I would not worry if I had to be two nights in a beach villa and four nights in a SWV. Sounds like bliss to me. I have five nights booked and paid upgrades each night to a SWV, but if I was offered a sixth night free in a beach villa, you think I'd say no?
