I'm staying on points and Ocean Tower was not even available (it would have been a "standard room"), but no such thing for my dates.

My choices were Palace or Lagoon, minimal difference in points, but I chose Lagoon because of early coffee in the morning and close to the big pool.
What view do you have in Lagoon? If it's Ocean Side I think you'll be very happy. Watching the dolphin pools from the balcony is one of our favorite memories from here.

Is it 10,000 points for your entire stay or per night?

For the movies they now give golds and diamonds a card that provides free DVDs at kiosks located around the resort (IIRC it's two free DVDs per day, but it might be one - I wasn't paying much attention). We're not big TV watchers so unlikely to use this benefit at all.

I also need to issue a small retraction. Upon returning to the Palace tower tonight there were Mynah birds in the central area of the tower making a squabble. Since the sun has set silence has returned...
