Sandos Caracol - Balconies? Upgrade?

We just booked an OV room for a week starting nov 17th and have noticed in the brocure that it doesn't indicate they have a balcony. I like a balcony but didn't notice that till after we booked. If anyone can confirm please. I also read somewhere that we could upgrade somewhat free by going into a site. I'm not sure what the upgrade would do for us. Can someone shed some light to this?
Thanks

What does this mean - going into a site?

And Sandos Caracol has room categories over an ocean view room - jr. suites, Club room suites - so it is possible to go up from ocean view, but not usually for free (especially over Thanksgiving).

I don't think that the ocean view rooms have balconies.
The rooms that are not ocean view have balconies.

Thanks for all the info. Sounfds like OV do not have balconies. The upgrade I mention was perhaps for VIP or something. I'm not sure what it is.

OK here is the internet site Sandos Hotels
Then click on Sanos4U and you can join the vip. This is what I was talking about.

We stayed in a jr.suite and it had an enormous balcony,(view was of the bush, no ocean in site) ppl we met had a reg. room and it had a postage stamp patio barely big enough for two plastic chairs, but they were ground level

ya that like what we had, and it was facing the bush too and the birds hovered in there every night and there was nothing but poop on the floor and rails daily. But the maid cleaned it up daily though!

Thanks for the info. I signed up for it. Is there more benefits than what is listed on the web site that you know of?
