Just tried to upgrade to a OWB for a stay end of June and was only offered pool villas which is too spendy for us-- are we out of luck? Is there any sort of waitlist/do they become available?
We are also diamond members and hoping for a space available upgrade, but it's our honeymoon and my fiance doesn't want to roll the dice.

Last night in Bora Bora. I made the mistake of staying at the Four Seasons Bora Bora before moving to the Conrad as the Four Seasons outshines the Conrad in virtually every category. Food and service are two areas of significant weakness here at the Conrad.

Staying here next week on points. Currently confirmed in a standard King Lagoon View Suite. As a datapoint, just received the following eStandby upgrade offers via email (upgrade prices are per night):
Pool Overwater Villa: 113,000 XPF
Sunset View Overwater Pool Villa: 127,000 XPF
Royal Pool Overwater Villa: 255,000 XPF
I think I'll hold out an see if I get lucky with a complimentary upgrade. Having done the overwater rooms in the past elsewhere, frankly I'd be happy with just an upgrade to a garden villa.

Booked for my wife and I on points for July. Our nanny just died so now want to bring our daughter. I called the Diamond Desk and they said they could add her (she's 12) to the reservation without needing to rebook it. When it never updated in our account to show 3 people rather than 2, I called back. On the second call I was told that it was not possible to add our daughter to the reservation without rebooking and if they try to cancel and rebook the hotel is not available. I asked if they could see that I'd previously been told to the contrary and they said they could see I call but not there are no notes to show what was done on the call or to see what I was told. I'm used to inaccurate information from general customer service but I expect more knowledgeable customer service from the Diamon Desk. Which version is accurate? We'd still like to go but we now need to include our daughter.

They never measured any of our 4 checked bags (two per person), just weighed them. They didn't measure or weigh our carry-ons.

Just arrived in PPT last night. Not a single COVID-related piece of documentation (neither test results, vaccine card, or the sworn statement) was reviewed upon arrival. That being said, I'd still recommend having printed copies of everything. WiFi and cell data coverage in the airport was spotty.

No additional fee for multiple bags. You can split your weight allowance across multiple bags - they weighed all 4 bags together and we ended up paying an additional ~25 USD (3-4 USD/kg) for the extra weight that was over the limit for 2. They accept USD/XPF/VISA/MC but no Amex at the counter.
