Hi. I would like to think we were upgraded one class due to my status, but it's hard to advise since I'd more likely guess that the upgrade was due to availability than status since they don't participate in Bonvoy. I will say that there is pretty much NO beach at the property, so you'll need to go to Hong Island to lay out at the beach. You'll be spending your time at the main pool (which is beautiful btw) vice at the villa. Our reserve pool villa was really very nice, and though we were 'upgraded' to an ocean view reserve pool villa, I would have been fine with either.
