I wasn't a happy camper, but when I saw the corner room I was pleasantly surprised. Really good size room just like the Rainbow corner rooms.
Last time we were there, we got upgraded to the Rainbow tower junior suite. It is not at the corner but it has the size of 2 normal room side by side with 2 balconies looking a the lagoon. And we got upgraded when the hotel was completely full too. In front of me when checking in, a HH member asked to check in a day early and they told him no it is completely full. The hotel was 80% Japanese tourists at the time.
