Bad experience at Miraval
My wife and I just checked in at Miraval. Both of us are globalist. We called front desk this morning around 10am, asking if any room upgrade is available. A gentleman told us not available at the moment but will keep checking. Arrived the property around 12pm, checked availability again at front desk. A lady did not check anything in the system, and immediately told us the originally assigned room is the only room available. We ended up with a room without any view
It seems to me that the integration of Mivaral and WOH program is not well-done yet. The front desk does not recognize WOH elite members; they do not know or are not willing to upgrade room, not to mention any other benefit. It is not worth the 65,000 points per night we spend, even if we can get 50% back.

There's a rather substantial difference between DYKWIA failure and a "bad experience".
You might not like the place... fine... think it overpriced... unquestionably... But you obviously haven't been paying attention to the new WoH if you think upgrades are so guaranteed that a failure to get an upgrade - hours before standard check-in - constitutes a bad experience.

Why not ask occupancy level? But really, why come on here shortly after checking in? No sympathy, but thanks for posting. We're a few days behind you and my wife will not be happy if we end up in your situation. I'll send him to do battle if required.
