I followed the advice of another, and it bore out. Before I answer, let me say I reserved a Pool View, AND asked for an upgrade. They stuck me in THE WORST gardenview they had. Exhaust vents and bus stop was my view. I am not exaggerating. Under another topic with 34+ posts, you can see my rant. And, they told me they had no upgrades available, and kicked me out for 1/2 day before I finally got a pool view. I was told by one employee they were at 75% capacity, so every time I was told at the front desk they had no rooms, you can bet my blood boiled. Long story short: if you dont get what you want do this: MARCH. Dont walk, dont say "tomorrow is ok" cuz they will screw you. MARCH to the Front Desk, and tell them exactly what you expect. If they give you any b.s. SPEAK VERY LOUDLY about your dissatisfaction, and use this word: "MANAGER." If they say he is not around, say "CALL HIM, I'll WAIT RIGHT HERE." That is the ONLY WAY to get them to do things properly. Like I said, they screwed me, for no particular reason. Note: Henrik and Grace were pretty cool. Of course, I only saw them a couple times, and maybe they aren't, but they were ok with me.
So, here is the answer. 5th floor or above, Pool View. I finally got 5126. It was nearly center, with full view of all pool area, Universal enterance, Islands of america's Fear Fall Tower, and the hulk and drangons coasters at in the distance. It was a FANTASTIC view. From what I could see, ANY pool view is great, but the higher up, the better, and I doubt 4th floor could see the pool from above the palms.
Good luck!
