just grabbed one for late august
9000 BHT room
"127sq/m king suite ocean view"
rarely use the priority club points

From the previous comments, is it common for these "mistakes" to not be honored when checking in? The probability of being downgraded to a standard room does affect my choice of beach destinations in Thailand

There will be a lot of "guinea pigs" before your check in date...

Which one is nicer, 1 BR Beachfront or 2 BR villa? Personally I'd go with larger rooms but rack rate wise, 1 BR Beachfront is more expensive than 2 BR villa.

Thanks OP for the awesome find! Booked a weekend in September.

This is a beautiful property (http://www.ihg.com/intercontinental/...ks/hoteldetail). Good luck, everyone!

Thanks SO much! 3br villa will be wonderful because we like to be together as a fam.
I have checked about 50 different dates and have never seen a 3-bed villa bookable as either an award or as a paid stay. Where are you finding them?

Most of dates probably gone. Tried to get one for May, showing as available 10s later - unable to book.

They're disappearing fast, think there's only one on the property. I got in on it early (eight minutes or so after OP posted), so I got a few nights, but only got four nights in the 3br, separated by two nights. My other nights are a 2br pano + 1br beachfront combo.

On their main website they don't even list a 3 bedroom as a room/suite option when viewing their room types. With just making a regular paid booking, the 3 bedroom doesn't show up as an option, for any date.

If you book a paid rate, there's an option to add 1000 bonus points for 5THB. If it actually works, that's a great deal!

I can't find a link to that from the main hotel page. In any event, I can't find a single date where that room is available even on a paid stay. How were you able to find it on an award stay?!

The main page that is linked to from IHG is:

And I lived only a stones throw away from this property for nearly 7 years and can most definitely concur with you! ^

I still see availability for paid stays, but be aware that even the best flexible rate says it's non-refundable (and costs the full amount). Whether they stick to that or not is another question.
