TL;DR

Book a Front Beach room through your tour operator when possible, as hotel upgrade prices may be higher on arrival. Reported on-site figures range from about US$20 per night after negotiating to US$40 per night, with US$150 quoted for 10 nights in a Front Beach room.

What the community said

Confirm balcony availability with the tour operator or hotel before booking. The discussion associates balconies with Junior Suites, but does not confirm that this applies to every room category.

Ask about renovated rooms after arrival: a US$70 upgrade was reported for a renovated room. A Front Beach room was quoted at US$150 for 10 nights, so compare this with the tour-operator option.

Request a Front Beach room when buying the package rather than after check-in, as it may cost more at the hotel. If upgrading on arrival, negotiate and check availability: about US$20 per night was suggested versus a roughly US$40 nightly quote.
