So for my honeymoon, I've booked the Conrad as a back up, but I call every few days to check availability for the Beach House.

HHonors said right now in September they're able to book to April of next year, so we shall see. I'm looking for July I hope that doesn't mean I have to wait until December/January to book.
This wasn't an issue for me booking a few months out, but showed availability around all tye dates I checked. The other downside is you need more points at Beach House, but upgrades to over water villa are cheaper. It isn't apples to apples as they only have one category compared to Conrad.

I still haven't received a reply from the Conrad on a few questions!
