By sweet spot, I mean a location where you get a great overall value. Do any of you have any recommendations for sweet spots that are out there? I know this is a pretty broad question... The one example I can think of: I feel like 25,000 points for the IC Cancun is a pretty great deal. Rates there can fluctuate a lot, so if you are looking at high-season, the 25k points can be a huge savings. Anything else that you can think of?

Not that sure we want to give IHG ideas about this in case IHG increase points needed for mentioned sweet spots.

But yes resort holiday locations always seem good value in the peak holiday season for a particular resort. Other good times to redeem are most hotels in major cites (capitals) during public holiday periods, like Easter and New Year,
