Is there no reasonable award availability at this property anymore?
I’ve combed through all of 2019 and most of 2018 and can’t find any availability for less than 280,000 points a night. Even the Conrad Bora Bora has availability 9+ months out... what am I missing here? I would assume Hilton would not allow them to block all availability in the 80 to 95k points range.

Anyone recently stay and recommend a nearby massage place/one that will do pick up? Or one that will come to the resort?
Looked into Elements (can't find any information on the massage and the Wiki link is dead) and Carnation (doesn't seem to exist anymore and Wiki link is also dead) but came up empty handed unless I've lost touch with my sleuthing skills..

Pier Construction
There's a warning up when booking about pier construction beginning May 18 potentially causing noise between 8 am and 6 pm. Not familiar with the layout here - how bad is this likely to be? Or even better - anyone there right now who can comment? Looking at spending a couple nights next week.

Thanks. How close is it to the villas? Would you be concerned?

New pier construction near villa 110, 111.
I did start hearing construction today. Mainly hammering and digging. Wasn't noticeable from the villas in the higher levels or the ones on the left or rightmost side. They told us they plan on finishing the pier in about a month.

They will use the pier for their boat excursions as their current pier will become unavailable soon. To be honest, I only heard the construction while having breakfast. Never heard it from our villas. But we started with 301 and upgraded the last day to 501. We definitely enjoyed our stay in CKS.

Just booked five nights with HHonors points in July. Will be our first trip to a resort like this so my wife and I are pretty excited. She recently picked up the Aspire so we'll be going in with Diamond status over Gold, although I'm not really sure how much extra that will get us.
I'm assuming it's worth contacting the hotel beforehand to let them know about what we're celebrating?

The hotel as very accommodating both before and during our stay. The room was made up in their "romantic setting" on our anniversary night while we were having Dinner at the Cellar. Petals everywhere, bubble bath run, swan towels on the bed etc.
Depending on what you are doing and how long you are there but if you plan on going to Jahn & The Cellar then the Hilton Premium Club/Hilton Dining Asia Pacific can be very worthwhile at the CKS.
