Omg -_-

Hopefully it wasn't you after a night at Decanter!

One other note, if anyone saw my heated rant last week, the resort did resolve the room category miscommunication with the Starwood Ambassador team.

If you happened to book the St. Regis Overwater Suite on Starpoints in August 2016, be sure to confirm your reservation details with the resort well ahead of your visit. There was some kind of system malfunction in October 2016 that screwed up the room categorizations for reward redemptions.

So what would be a upgrade from the base room? OWB?

Has anyone stayed at both Cheval Blanc and St Regis? I've been going to Cheval Blanc the past 3 years, and thinking of trying the St Regis early next year... How do they compare?

Have a 3 year old and looking at the 2 bedroom family villas.. anyone tried those yet and are they on the beach? From the photos, they look like they are, but goes right into the water as well.. doesn't seem that safe for a young child...

Quick question from the wife to hopefully make packing a bit easier. Are there hairdryers in the rooms?

Hmm. Could've sworn someone wrote here fairly early on that the upgrade was from OWV to BV. Oh well. Thanks for the clarification.

BV is an upgrade from OWV. But OWV is not the base room.

US travelers-- any issues charging your electronics (iPhone/laptop) with chargers made for use in America? If there are issues, does the resort provide adapters for use?
