Heading there in November for eight nights on points and certs.
Ideally, it would be nice to spend four nights in a beach villa and four nights in a reef or OWV.
My strategy as a Diamond is to wait to see what other members have reported wrt free upgrades and the villa locations, villa categories etc. Of course, it will depend on availability at the time of arrival.
With the extra costs for yacht transports, the expected astronomical cost of food, I really don’t want to spend too much more on a higher villa category unless it’s a significant upgrade.
