Thanks a bunch!

Beach Villa to Deluxe Beach Villa - USD280++ taxes per night
Beach Villa to Retreat Water Villa - USD385++ taxes per night
Beach Villa to Premier Water Villa - USD980++ taxes per night
I think the BV to RWV is far less than what's in the wiki for high season, right?
We booked the DBV offer but where upgraded to DWV instead.
Does this happen regularly?
Yes. Thanks for the post. I have added the data to the wiki. And DBV -> DWV isn't very common at all. You were very lucky. I guess they may have overbooked the BVs or DBVs.
