    we are looking to go down to GP at the end of this month. we went last year and stayed in a club room. what i am trying to figure out now is, would we be better off to just book the cheapest room and when we get there try to upgrade? dont know if the upgrade rate at the hotel would be better then where we are getting the trip from.

    anyone have any experience in this?

    upgrade

    Wife and I went last year and booked the Club Lagoon View. Decided to upgrade to the Ocean view when we got there. If I remember correctly it was $212 for the 7 days. Pretty much look at the rates Expedia gives for the base room and look at the price per night to upgrade. My wife talked to them at check in and did not haggle, it was our first time there and we were like deer in the headlights.

    Also heading there on Jun 16th - 24th. Have some friends that are trying to do the same thing starting with base room and upgrade. I will post back their result.

    Update

    Ok, talked to the wife and she said it was only $160 or 170 for the switch from Lagoon to Ocean for the week. Hotel was at about 80% capacity.

    Susan and I will be there June 20th. - 30th., will look you up when we get there to get layout of the place, what to do, etc. I'm about 6'2", dark tan so might not be so hard to pick out, we are staying in a Deluxe Ocean View by the way, looked great from the pictures. How would we recognize you guys?

    Anyone else have any experience with upgrading? We'll be there on Saturday and want to upgrade both of our rooms and I am wondering if I should just do it now or wait until I get there....
