Upgrades from booking base rooms (I see from previous posts that this has been answered to some extent). Hilton seems to have the better views but Conrad rooms are obviously better appointed.

Breakfast seems to be included in both, as the previous post with the letter says. Hoping for a lot of choices and not a continental "here's your toast" deal.

Beach. The Conrad beach looks like something from a backwater bay. I've seen tons of pics but have not seen any of people in the water. The Hilton seems to have a better beach. Thoughts?

Are the Executive Lounges at each place comparable?

Again, I apologize for any redundancy. I'm having a hard time pulling the trigger as I want things to go well. Thanks in advance.
