Do they honor diamond status for upgrades if account holder isn’t by check in?

Meh. The barely respect status. They give members juniors suites and Diamond members random rooms. Besides that the Junior suites are terrible

Just cancelled two rooms for Pesach next year. They have multiple standard rooms available for the whole Pesach. Can’t use certs because they’ve blocked one night bookings but you can book the whole Chag. I’m sad not to go again but it won’t work for us next year and I hope another DDFer can snag it.  :)

Usually they give upgrades to grand deluxe rooms

Anything higher is harder to get as they have to give a report on the notes as to why they gave a 4+ tier upgrade.

Grand deluxe. Although Junior Suite is officially better, it has a horrendous setup. (Not sure all are the same)

I’ll believe it when I see it but the WAJ Rep (Amira) posted last week on Trip Advisor question board that they can now “commit to the spa, pool and fitness center opening by the end of 2019, most hopefully by the Sukkot holiday in October.”

I thought it was interesting that they’d make a definitive statement. Is anyone aware of construction?

if avalable for diamond you can get up to a one bedroom suite, so if they have what would be the issue?

How much discount are we speaking, basically I might be interested in the cheapest rate you can get for a shabbat sometime between now and October.

Going to cancel one award room from June 7-12 at WAJ. Anyone want it in case it goes back into inventory?
Save your time, I don't answer PM. Post it in the forum and a dedicated DDF'er will get back to you as soon as possible.
