Well I deceided to try the IC in 2 weeks time but I just could not get myself to book the villa (but thanks to Unterwegs for his comments).
So I booked a 2 TWIN PREMIER POOL TERRACE on a good corporate rate and within 1 hour it was upgraded to a 1 KING PREMIER SUITE which seams to be the highest level of suite.
Now I saw the wonderfull video of bartla but I'm wondering, are there also premier suites on the lower floor so that I can get the direct dip into the share pool? I really would like to have a pool terrace even if the 1st floor can look down on me ;-)
Any comment welcome.

Hi Sven,
Yes, there are premier suites with pool terrace (just two I think). Enjoy your stay!

Thanks for this post.
What room have you booked to get this upgrade?
You say you can see the pool of the villa next your yours - are these two villas somehow connected? I'm thinking of booking two villas, since we are two couples travelling - would it be possible to get from one pool/garden to the other?
Thanks!

They told me normally they don't upgrade to the villa, so you need to check.
The entrance to the villas is from the main pool area to the right. There is a small walkway and the entrance doors of the three villas are close to each other in a fairly private area. Also each pool area has a gate to the beach. There is no direct connection - at least for our villa which was the one with the biggest pool area to the next.

Thanks to everyone who helped making up my mind, I got ugraded to a Premier Pool Suite in the north wing which is great, sure not as private as the Villa but really good as it has the end of the shared pool and the suite itself is hughe.
Now the hard product as most here say is great, but the service is shaky, this place has potential, let's see how the rest of the week goes.
Anybody else here right now?

I have booked Bangkok for Christmas 2011 and Hua Hin for the new year.
I have used F&F
Would I have been better booking IC lowest possible rate guarantee and get it reduced by a further 10%?
I have called Ambassador and they say no benefits when booked F&F.
No monies have yet been charged to my card, does this mean I could make changes to my booking and then have Ambassador benefits.
Thank you

Now for that amount of money I can have some crazy party in Thailand even at a 5* hotel. It was some sit down dinner at larger tables where you sit together with some strangers. Not my cup of tea. So I asked if I could pay the money and use it as F&B credit during my stay instead but no dice.
So when they were uncooperative I just shortened my stay by 2 nights and departed on Dec 31 for BKK wher ewe had a lovely time at the IC with no forced gala dinner. We had a table at the Four Seasons great Italian restaurant that night with a nice menu and wine and prosecco and it cost us 5k THB a person which was still much cheaper then IC Hua Hin.
Don't get me wrong, I like the property very much but that was just stupid.

Do not expect anything at IC as a PC Platinum. If you want to get an upgrade, buy Ambassador membership (which the previous poster has).
