FS holiday rates get crazy, although all have been raising some
st regis holiday rates have run $4,000+ which make FS cheap

jamaica is one of the few in area without same holiday premium
without going farther, only option may be avoiding bigger chains

even some asia/etc have added holiday rates, though better value

i have seen since 2013, both in advance and at last minute, $4,000 and $5,000 in online reservations for entry level room at st regis in north america, possibly due to how SPG works

outside of maldives where entry rate can be very high, i have not seen similar holiday rates at any other hotel (only event rates, which often include nonluxury chain hotels)

looking right now, seems marriott has changed (dropped) some
FS also up more, not seeing entry available at either right now

increases make aman caribbean less crazy, especially amanera
