No, I have not stayed at the BBN. I stayed at the IC a couple of years ago. IMHO, the SPBB's location is superior because it's on the motu and the sand is the finest I have ever felt in my life. Far superior to Grand Cayman's quality of sand, for example. Don't expect a huge beach though in the classic sense. If you have the points and can justify spending them, go for it. I am still debating. I am currently booked again at the IC for 5 nights (the old one, the new one is not bookable yet, last I checked).

It comes down to spending 150,000 PC points for a perfectly fine hotel in BB or 280k+ Starpoints for the over-the-top experience. I am thinking a 3-2 day split with the IC BB first.
