Thanks for all of the posts on the Barbados Hilton. I'll be there 12/20-12/26 with the family (2A/2C) on an award stay. I am HH Diamond. Sounds like I should:
-Politely push for an upgrade a checkin.
-get extra wifi codes in the lounge.
-expect a crowded exec lounge.
-expect OK, but not great food.
-expect and OK, but not incredible experience.
-be sure to venture off property several times for dining.
Sounds like a case of "expectation setting" . . . I'll start "positioning" it with the wife now

Thanks for this, it will make for a much better experience if I set her expecatations low
One last thing: I gather that there are two "towers" or "buildings", any recommendatoins on which one to stay in??? Any other suggestoins appreciated.
