The cash difference between the 5 nights in peak season of my booking was $1,100, inclusive of tax, between the rack rate for a GV and an OWV. That makes the $246 price quoted above seem just about right. I'm guessing it will depend on supply/demand when you arrive, if they have 10 open OWV vs. 1 open OWV your upgrade price will vary.

I wouldn't pay to 'upgrade' from an OWV...that's my opinion.

Any idea what the upgrade price is from a OWV to a St. Regis Suite?

Thanks tylerc. From looking at the website, BV looks like a GV situated directly on the beach..not sure if it's larger than the OWV or GV? I would probably just self-downgrade to a GV without paying an extra fee to upgrade to a BV.

Maybe interesting for the people who go there in future, here are the actual Platinum Elite Benefits:
- Welcome Gift: 1000 points® per stay OR Local Gift OR Breakfast at our all day dining restaurant, Alba per day (Member +1)
- 4pm Late Check-out (subject to availability)
- Enhanced Room upgrade (subject to availability)
- 10% Discount on Spa Treatments excluding Spa Packages
- Complimentary Wi-Fi
- Personalized St. Regis Butler Service
(I asked because I thought wrong that you would get 20% discount on food but someone here write it is not, so this point is clear now)
And as some users already wrote, I recomend everyone who want to go there to look at the St. Regis menu.
They are online at the St. Regis website (the prices are without tax and without service charge) so you can get an imagine how much you have to spend for eating (which will be quite a lot).

Yes, I highly recommend everyone cancel their GV reservations IMMEDIATELY. Please PM me when you do, I will make sure to follow back up with the StR to make sure they are indeed cancelled.

We toured almost all of the other rooms, including the John Jacob Astor suite (it was still being furnished)...but only stayed in the OWV.

I was quoted $616 for an upgrade from OWV to beach from the hotel. I really want a beach villa for a day, so I may do it. I’ve done garden villa and OWV last year.
