I assume you are using an amex card to get points, as you have no hilton cc options ?
Anyway, sounds far from measly to me, on a normal hilton redemption, that works out at equivalent to about 3-4% cashback, which is pretty impressive and far more than you'll get for any credit card here in the UK (whether it's cash or points).
For a Rangali redemption, you could be seeing an equivalent 6-8% payout for your spending. Guessing 76K a night against say $500-600 inc tax per night in cash.
