Moral of the story is .... dont insist on a suite upgrade if it wasnt offered to you (against the common FT rule). For those who actually paid for the suites, I really feel sorry for them.

If you are able to put aside the sorry state of the suites, its actually an outstanding resort. Leaving aside Bora Bora and Maldives, I dont think there are many Starwood resort which can match the setting, the beach and the seaview . I also feel that they treat platinums reasonably well; the standard upgrade to seaview or lanai rooms is worth a 50% premium over the basic room rates and comp breakfast is worth MYR100 per person. And not forgetting wifi is free throughout the resort, though signal can be weak at some spots away from the transmitters.
