The resort is big enough to accommodate a few redemption guests each night; plus all guests will be nickle and dime'd anyway so it will work out for them in the scheme of things.

Should we expect this hotel to be a notch above or below St.Regis? Or on par?

Not sure about StR comparisons, but the terra treetop dining renders alone are enough to me make me want to go there asap!

Anyone have experience if award nights are made immediately available when the booking calendar opens?

I agree, but dining is not exactly a weak point of St.Regis. The breakfast is the best I have seen of all Starwood/Marriott hotels, and dinner at Decanter and/or beach private dinner are worth the visit as well. So Waldorf will have their hands full competing in terms of dining with St.Regis.

Hmm if only I didn’t mind the 100$ overseas phone bill calling in to make a dummy reservation right now would cost. Guess I’ll do it from office lol
