Probably for storing purses or phones, keeping them out of the way and safe from spills. A lot of upscale places do that. Nothing too sinister, I'd bet. Don't overthink it.

It's pretty hyped, that's for sure. I went in April and it was busy, but not unbearably so. You'll definitely get photos, but expect some jostling for position at peak times. Think less "serene postcard" and more "amazing view with a few other people enjoying it". The actual pool itself is great – plenty of space, good service. Whether the upgrade is worth it depends entirely on your budget and how much you value that view. If you're already considering it, you probably will enjoy it. Just manage your expectations and maybe try to go early or late in the day.
