I've scrolled up in this thread for a hundred or so posts: is there any data yet on doing paid upgrades from a beach villa to an OWV?
I'm still leaning towards a Conrad booking at 380k for 5 nights, plus probably $100-150 to get a better OWV than the base one. This would be an extra 100,000 HH points, plus a higher upgrade fee (I would assume), but might be tempting to get the newer hotel and the higher W=A service level.
BTW, the 120k base beach villa here actually looks more amazing than most of the upgraded types at the Conrad. My wife has the idea of an OWV in her mind though, and I think if we fly all that way we'll want to be overwater. Otherwise we'd just grab some other high-end resort closer to our other planned destinations in Asia.
