I know Amanpulo's MO is to usually upgrade first time guests whether or not they have booked with an agent or through FHR. Is that policy pretty consistent throughout all the AMAN's?

Also, another thing to take into consideration is that I am not expecting a garden view to ocean view type upgrade. I have booked a pool suite and the next category up is the Kilasari suite which there is only one of. I am traveling solo and am not celebrating a special occasion.

I plan to be out and about a lot of the time so I just can't seem to justify the price for staying in the Kilasari suite alone. Although the thought of absolutely no view in the pool suite kills me.
I have seen that a lot of people on here recommend just going with a pool suite (esp#37) but I am quite self conscious about a big scare I have going down my entire back (car accident) so I'm not a big fan of public pools.

Do you think they if the Kilasari suite is available upon check in they would let me upgrade for a small amount?
