I was shocked to see that the cash rate for next week (for the standard room) is only about $530 and includes breafast...last year it was over $1000/night. Perhaps they are struggling with occupancy.
Also, I forget, was the breakfast amenity the full buffet or did you have to pay to upgrade?
Yeah, interesting, it looks like the "Member Rate Reconnect and Celebrate" is sub-$600 but only on sporadic dates (presumably when they have unsold rooms)... lowest rate on numerous nights in Feb is still above $1k (and it was about $1200 our nights, which made points worth spending).
I forgot to mention -- they said that as Ambassador the full buffet was included with no upcharge, which was nice. (Still had to pick breakfast as the amenity, but it's a solid amenity.) Made-to-order omelets and eggs were quite good and the buffet quality was high (passionfruit, dragonfruit, good berries, good salmon, meats/cheese, etc.). One mimosa per person is also included at breakfast!
