they didn't upgrade you to SOWV? Did you pay to upgrade to OWV? What's your status

I don't think anyone has been upgraded to SOWV? I'm a Platinum Premier who booked a GV on points. I paid to upgrade to a OWV.

Also I was a little shocked that fresh coconut juice cost $20 per coconut.

i dont think they upgrade from OWV->SOWV during dec-jan peak period

i was given 524 which is meant to be one of the more private OWV.

if i ever go back i would probably asked for one of the first few OWV facing the BV.

Yes I apologize. I did not mean to say OWVs get MORE sun. On a second post I mentioned that I dont think from a sun standpoint it makes much of a difference, if you are in the east facing OWVs versus the west facing SOWVs. As I said, I am opting to keep an OWV versus SOWVs, but thats personal preference.

I'm afraid of same thing. GV to $ upgrade OWV won't get upgrade to SO because there was option to but I chose OWV.

was that coconut worth $20 tho? ;)

I am not sure if 4 is an accurate number for GV. I read on a TPG post that the base rooms are little less than 1/3 of total rooms... so still fairly small on a all suite property.

FOr those who have been there, is 440k-540k a good deal for the OWV?

4 is an accurate number. They're in the middle of the island, dark green villas, on the wiki map. How many nights are you paying 440-540k points for?

must be 5-6 nights.

If you're traveling on off-peak times, pay to upgrade is better.

For Dec-Jan. I'd use points.

hmm I requested a north facing villa thinking that it will be more private and the hammock area will still have tons of sun?

what don't you like about it?

The 100k/nt OWV reservation I made is now showing as 357k/nt and I don't have a screenshot. This should be fun.

Well I spoke upthread about having 8 nights for 740,000 points. Tonight, I login to look at it and its 2,796,000 points...WOW. On with Marriott now to sort out.

Called Marriott for mine as well, was told that they saw a 120k/nt rate (the rate I booked was 100k/nt) in some section of the reservation system and were opening a case to have the Marriott Rewards team fix it.

Let us know what happens with yours.

I can actually just book the room again myself for 100K. I might do that. I've been on hold for 15 mins now. The agent sees the 2.8mil and is trying to figure it out. (Well I didnt do that BECAUSE the new room had a freaking Jan 16 cancelation vs the August 2 of my old room.)

Now the agent is telling me cancelation for the 2.8mil points is Jan 11-in the past. (Although still shows Aug 2 online.) What a cluster F#$K.

In the end, the couldn't help or see the change in points in any history. I was told to email the hotel-which I did. I'd advise anyone to KEEP A COPY of their reservation.

Ok this is news to me then. I was hoping to get an upgrade if there are SOWV available. I have the choice of paying an additional $600 total for the upgrade from OWV to SOWV. Anyone who knows this property, is is worth $600????
