However, when I select that day, the King Lagoon View Suite is available for 293,000 points per night (not 406k). That itself is confusing, but furthermore, isn't this a "standard room", usually priced at 89k per night? The dollar cost is $838...
Anyone know how to understand this? Is the property no longer offering standard award nights? Would free night certificates still be valid for the room if they are listed as a premium room?
Their standard room is the King Garden View Suite and free night certs can only be used for that room. Standard rooms are hard to find and generally available for less than a day when released. Took me 3 weeks of checking twice per day before I found availability for 5+ nights.
