Hi there!
That was quite strange seeing my name there asking for help - it was quite flattering! :)
Seriously though, I think it was the deluxe suite that we got upgraded to and it was awesome. Well worth the upgrade. If you have already booked the deluxe suite, I would just stick with that for the timebeing and see how you like it. I think it is a lot better than the Deluxe Room. There is just more room to move around.
If you get there and think you need more room than the deluxe suite (which I don't think you will), then you could always ask Irma (the Guest Relations Officer) to see what other rooms are available and then barter with her on the price. We got our upgrade for US$20 a night (I think that's right from memory) whereas they were asking for US$150 for the upgrade when we first got there.
The Patra staff are brilliant though. If you are not satisfied, they will ensure that they do everything they can until you are. Definitely the best staff in ANY hotel I have ever stayed at in the world.
I hope you have an awesome time and if you have anymore questions, feel free to contact me. I don't mind a bit. I actually enjoy reminiscing! :)
