Thanks again, all great ideas. What was the actual food situation like at the hotel Polynesian Night. Was it at least decent? My expectations are pretty low for that. Your idea of a lunch at St. James and sunset picnic may be the way to go. Also considering room service that night if we get an upgrade to a room with a decent patio and view. Right now, we're booked in the standard lagoon view suites on points.

Wow, that didn't take long! I saw they were getting roasted on Trip Advisor and Google reviews over the breakfast credit so maybe that played into it, or Hilton corporate told them to knock it off. Is the option to take the credit still there or did they do away with the credit completely? Also, are they limiting what you can get at the breakfast buffet, like no warm items etc.? If so, what is the charge to upgrade to the full deal.

As for the 1000 points, should be included for diamond members.

Do you have a menu?

The American breakfast (thats what they are calling it) that is free for Diamond and Gold now is great - it includes the buffet (all items including fresh crepes made to order), lattes, iced coffee, juices, etc plus items from a separate menu like waffles, French toast, egg dishes, etc. No extra charge except for alcohol and some speciality drinks is my understanding.
Im Gold and they said if I dont choose the breakfast, then I get 1K in points (no other/additional credit provided). Of course, we choose breakfast.

Do you have any activities planned yet? We signed up for the Manta Ray tour on Monday morning, April 29. They need a minimum of 4 people and we are the only two signed up so far. Hoping someone else will join us, hint hint, lol. The naturalist does the talk on Wednesday nights at Iriati bar and we plan to check that out too.

I'm going at the end of this month too and also hoping for an upgrade but a little skeptical given how booked up they are. I asked the concierge for restaurant menus and they sent me the April schedule with QR codes to each of the current menus. I don't have all the links handy right now but if you email [email protected] they will send it to you.

thought about the pontoon rental too. Think you have to take the Conrad shuttle as they dont pick up. Conrad now only has 2 free slots daily.

Anyone who has stayed here recently, how far in advance did you receive any paid upgrade offers and if you were upgraded, when did it show up in the app? We're less than two weeks from our stay and we haven't even received any paid offers yet. Do I need to contact them about it?

Great, thank you so much for the data point. Hotel looks pretty booked up during our stay but hoping for an upgrade at least a few of our 9 nights.

Good. Let this be known to all of you that those surveys you get e-mailed after a stay and public reviews really do work! Especially at prestigious properties who desperately care about their image.
