Does anyone know what the standard room here at the St. Regis is? I know they have a 'Garden Villa with Pool, 1 Bedroom Villa, 1 King, Sofa bed' but I would have sworn I had seen during their peak pricing the 'Overwater Villa with Pool, 1 Bedroom Villa, 1 King, Sofa bed' as 100k points. Looking at booking a year from now, and I am seeing the overwater villa at 110k points. Is this property playing hard and fast with the point system and charging more before the upcoming devaluation (not far from the Flexible Point Redemptions for 2022 as indicated by Marriott of 120k points) or am I just mistaken and in the last few months this property has always charged 110k points for the overwater villa during peak pricing?
PDF link by Marriott host by TPG of the upcoming redemptions for 2022 for this property is listed on PDF page 5. "The minimum and maximum points for these hotels are increasing by up to 20,000pts".
At 110k points for the St. Regis, is the newer Ritz Carlton Maldives property worth looking at for overwater villas at 100k points? Basically the only benefit for a Titanium like myself is free breakfast at the St. Regis. 50k more points for $600 in benefit ($60 per person x2 for 5 days for the breakfast buffet at the Ritz), which isn't terrible redemption value.
Screenshot of a random week in Jan 2023 at 110k points per night, so 450k points total (just 100k discounted for 5th night free).
