Usually the hotels that are on the pointbreaks list are new hotels to the IHG chain or hotels with very low occupancy rate, ( probably the low occupancy rate is also the reason why some new IHG hotels are on this list)
So if you check the rates of all hotels on the list probably 60-70% of them have low daily rates.
Also the prices in Dubai and Abu Dhabi are very low in the summer and to the end of September.
