I called and was told July 14 so virtually the same. Hope it sticks as we come in late July. I expect there's good business to be done as we all accept the reality that we'll be unable to leave the USA this summer and start looking for road trips.

My wife and I have a milestone anniversary stay here in August booked via Prive. Hoping travel is feasible and that the property is back in gear.

The hotel has moved to a fully all-inclusive model and all points booking options have been pulled from the website. I have a 3-night stay in July - have not heard anything yet in terms of what they plan on doing with previously-booked award stays.

FWIW, Lucky/OMAAT is reporting that the hotel might be shifting to an all-inclusive model. Jury's out on the potential impact to current bookings and future points bookings.

I have a two night stay, also in late July. I'm glad I already booked and was able to do so with points.

It's very isolated. I had already contacted Post Ranch Inn and learned that it has closed its dining to in house guests at least for awhile. Nepenthe has adequate, not great food, but stunning views. It had only been allowing takeout but reopened to dining in house this past weekend.

I called their reservations department and was told that people who booked cash rates prior to the all-inclusive switch will have the option to stay a la carte as planned, or pay ~$500 per night (dual occupancy) to join the all-inclusive plan. She said she doesn't know about award bookings, but its likely the same.
Didn't have much other details, but she agreed with me that if I am Globalist with breakfast included and not much of a lunch-eater, this likely doesn't make sense.

Today I see availability of suites for 60k points but no availability of standard rooms at 30k points. There is no mention of all-inclusive on the description of rooms for points.
If you wanted a suite, I would book it right now.
Edited to add: I must have been checking bad dates. There are now 30k rooms on some dates.
