Still do not think this justify the number of points required. Mr GoodTimes are I are more than happy with the Kalia Tower or Lagoon Tower.
From your description and the other comments it does seem as if the points premia they are charging for this property are way out of line - from 50% higher for even the most basic 1 Br, with many additional levels of "premium" above that where the rate for a 1 Br is up to an eye-popping 270% higher than in the Lagoon Tower!!
Would expect way more than slightly more comfy furniture or more frequent housekeeping to justify these extraordinary rates.
I wonder if this will make my week in the Lagoon tower more valuable (says he hopefully).
