Just back from WL and Swan mini report with pics

[Crazy Kanga]

We really loved both WL and Swan. They were very different resorts, but both were beautiful and had lots of great advantages. We were given a free upgrade at WL to concierge. The room didn't seem bigger than what a regular room would be, just had access to the lounge which was really nice.
At Swan we were given a free upgrade to a balcony room from standard because of being a Starwood preferred Guest.

That is Fauna and no I haven't posted on the Croc exchange yet. We just got back last night and haven't had time to yet. I will soon. I have quite a few to post.

What great pics! Thanks for sharing. Awesome upgrade! We loved WL. Your pics make me wish I was there. Would you stay at Swan again? I have been interested in Swan/Dolphin for quite some time.

Yes, we would definitely stay there again, although we think we would like to try the Dolphin next time because it is a little closer to the main pool and has more dining options that we prefer. I'll post some pics from the Swan too.

We are heading for the WL in August. Great to see these pictures and here you enjoyed yourselves! Did you ask for the upgrade at WL or did they just offer it to you? Did you use any club level services?

They just offered it. I think that the fact that we were only there for one night helped us get it though. That and the fact that we were there for our 15th Anniversary which was noted in the ressie. Also we paid rack rate. I don't know if any or all of these played any part in it, but I would think so.

I would love to know if the WL pool was crowded, especially in the afternoons? We stayed there a few years ago and loved but we booked Poly this trip. Last time we stayed at Poly the pool was crowded with pool hoppers and we could not even find chairs. I have thought of switching, even though DS loves the monorail.
