We are just back from Princeville. They only have King for suites. Ask them nicely and if they do have suite available during your stay, they will upgrade you to one. You can ask the butler, service only available for suites, to arrange a rollaway bed without a problem. The pool service was excellent.
Enjoy.
Enjoy.

which room #s are the best jr suites?
I'm staying here for 5 days in August as a platinum on point stay. Which Jr suite room # should I request? A previous poster said that the 801-812 block had the best views. Does everyone agree? If so, any idea which of these are suites?
Thanks
Thanks

I am staying here on an award trip (2 rooms, OV) in June for 6 nights. Are there certain rooms we should be requesting or avoiding at check-in. I am a Plat. I see a lot of threads about how difficult they are with the upgrades. Is that still the case? I need connecting rooms. Do you know if any suites connect to a room and if so, what category room do they connect to? Thanks in advance.

Should we email in advance with the ages of our children and a request for an upgrade? Thanks in advance. Feel free to PM me if you prefer.

One thing I'd try is emailing the concierge or the front desk, letting them know your plans and what you need and working with them. When planning my trip I worked with Scott Bacon - fantastic concierge. He's at [email protected].

I just checked out from here last Sunday after staying 5 nights as part of my honeymoon. There was no resort fee on my bill. Maybe they put one on since I booked, but for us we did not have to worry about it.
On another note, we had a fantastic stay. We received the Jr Suite upgrade and loved the facility and especially the staff. Our butler was fantastic and took great care of us. Everybody seemed to go out of their way to make us feel welcome and make sure we were having a nice time.

Probably a noob spg question... but when do you know if your reservation is upgraded? Do most people contact the hotel directly, or does the concierge contact you directly? Or sometimes both?
Perhaps it was Amex FHR benefit?
