If we go back we would stay there rather than Nusa Dua...SE Asian version of Cancun IMHO (Nusa Dua), but with better food

Yes, they are different in size and shapes, since every villa has unique design, but each villa has private pool. I would not be looking for those, but would choose Lagoon villa right away. This is unique feature of this property and you should be going for that.

Why such a huge variation in suite sizes? 
I understand Plats don't get upgrades here, but do they get larger suites within the same category?
St Regis Suites
990-2,034 Square Feet / 92-189 Square Meters

Here is how it goes per my observation:
Normal Suite
Pool suite - x2 Normal due to outdoor space counted
1-Bedroom Suite with terrace - 3rd actual floor, 5th per their system. x2 the pool.

Upgrade to a Gardenia Villa for $175/night?
Received the offer below. Would like your thoughts on if i should take it or try to upgrade at check-in. We are currently in a suite with plunge pool.
[RIGHT][/RIGHT]Gardenia Villa.The alluring Villa experience is one of absolute privacy and seductive indoor and outdoor living. In Gardenia Villa, the journey begins with a private entrance adorned with tropical plants, the sound of water, and small, sculpted aquatic creatures—ducks, turtles, and frogs.
Enjoy great savings and upgrade now at only $175++/room/night instead of the regular rate of $350

Admittedly I only read every other page of this thread looking for the answer, but I can't seem to figure out what exactly a "one bedroom suite" (the 2nd category after "st regis suites") entails. Strangely, pictures of the entire suite are hard to come by. We're looking for the standard "pool villa" experience, but at 1100+, the gardenia villas are a bit out of my price range. It does seem like the one br suite has a plunge pool, but how private is the area around the suite? How large is it and how is the pool? Does anyone have pictures from their visit?
TIA

Just got back from 5 nights at the St. Regis. It was simply amazing. I used 30K SPG points for a suite. At check in, I inquired about an upgrade. Was offered Gardenia for $200 per night or Strand for $400 per night. Took the Gardenia and could not have been more pleased. My only regret is that i didn't accept the upgrade offer they sent me via email for $25 less per night. The villa was large and very nice. Good size pool and bale. Lots of privacy, especially as compared to the lagoon villas. The staff at the hotel was great.
