I would be curious to hear of examples that aren’t the Maldives along with the comparison to the average cash rates at these properties.
Maldives is my usual Marriott redemption and although we can argue about the value proposition, the St Regis was 118k yesterday for the same dates

I was also planning to visit the JW Masai Mara this year - just checked, it's also 194-236k/night now..
