Of course, once you get there if you play the dice you may get complimentary for some of your stay as diamond. I didn't want to take the latter risk as I didn't think it would work out not paying, so I used the Nor1 upgrade request just for the my first night (that stay was booked separately with free night certificate, other two nights were separate reservation, so I was able to go through nor1 without going through the hotel directly). I was banking on, the upgrade for first night going through but getting the other two nights free upgrade (saw reports here of people asking to stay in their overwater villa if they had two separate reservations upon arriving at hotel, so hoped the hotel would do this for me in advance). Well, it has updated both my reservations from King Lagoon to Overwater Pool Villa! Upgrade price was 113,000 XPF so $1,011 USD roughly. Accounting wise I'm telling myself I upgraded for an additional $337 per night, so that's pretty damn good! And I'm pretty certain I wouldn't have gotten it upgraded for free were it not doing the nor1 route just for first night.

We'll see what happens when I get there tomorrow, but I assume if it's showing on the app I should be good! Only question now is do I get my diamond upgrade to a Royal Pool now lol
