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 doesnt mean standard points redemption. This is a premium property and they only release standard reward rooms (90k a night) on occasion... Rare occasion. Took me years of looking to get 9 nights standard. Cashed in three reward certs and 6 nights of points at the standard rate. I follow a few travel bloggers and I get alerts on my phone when they post deals. One of them posted that the Conrad had standard reward availability for booking. I looked at MULTIPLE dates are my wife's birthday (march) and our anniversary (june) and nothing so i picked a random week in February and there was availability for standard reward rates... February is normally slow season and it's monsoon season so I'm assuming that's why I got 9 nights together.
I'm here now and I don't think this is real life. Property is not busy at all.
