I spent money on food and scuba diving (5 dives + prof photographer) and did 2 massages. We did the romantic dining one night. I imagine if u are not eating in the restaurant you save a ton. We spent just under 4k$ for 5 days for 2 ppl.

Can those who stayed at the Conrad with Diamond status advise how it was and what possible room upgrade was?

If you happen to know the costs for upgrades, that would be great as well.

TIA

When booking with points, you get the beach villa. After my trip next month, or when i get some time, i'll find out about upgrading. Likely will split the nights.

Does it really matter?  Not like it's going to be a good deal with points.
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.
