Fair point. I'm not a huge beach fan and considering them because (a) it's in H1 of the year and I will have qualifying nights anxiety, (b) most other Starriotts charge insane cash prices for Thailand and (c) I detest the Sheraton there and resent paying any rate for it.
Having said that, I'm now looking at blowing points on the W because its rates makes a 60k points redemption acceptable value.
