Any recent experiences as HH Diamond at Hilton Fiji Resort

[GCC]

We have booked 10 nights at Hilton Fiji in June, and for that length of stay with a boisterous 2 year old a 2BR apartment is a necessity.

Booked a studio beachfront for 17,500 HH points + 107 FJD per night, which I was very happy with. Then I took the offered "e upgrade" options for 1 BR beachfront and 2BR beachfront at 99 FJD and 199 FJD respectively.

So using the e upgrade to a 2BR will cost about $1500 AUD - if we receive it.

When we stayed a year ago we were upgraded from studio beach front to 1BR beachfront and it seemed that was the "standard updgrade" for HH Gold. So now as a HH Diamond is there any chance that the upgrade is to a 2BR apt?

I did notice when we were there last year there were a lot of people paying for upgrades at the desk, and in fact we ending up paying for a further upgrade to a 2 BR with plunge pool. I'm not sure if these are any more expensive that the e upgrades?

I'm concerned that by booking the E upgrade we end up paying for something we may well have received for free. So is it a better strategy to arrive, see what we get, and then pay for an upgrade to a 2BR if there is one available?

GCC,

We stayed at Hilton Fiji for 3 nights from 8th Apr and another 3 nights from 18th Apr. The standard upgrade appears to be a 1BR beachfront though we did get a 2BR beachfront on our second stay thanks to the GM as there were a series of small issues during the first stay.

There is a managers reception on a Wednesday evening with drinks and canapés.

My suggestion is that you could send a PM or email to the GM who is an AFF member.
