One stands out where we had nice experience : only 5,000 points for Regency in Dubai which has been supwerbly updated, with great rooms, bathrooms, hallways and lobby.

Morning best,
HR Hua Hin for 5k/7k/8k (their suites are very nice, so the 24k for the 3 nites would be excellent.) Don't know when they will be done with the new spa, but I do know that when the GH BKK finished theirs, they sent a cert for a free massage to some frequent guests. Of course, at Hua Hin the 1 hr Thai massage was a (for a Hyatt) great value, about US$25 after the 10% discount for DIA, and was one of the best. Of course, there is always the beach massage stands close by as well at about US$5 per hour.
On the other end, 15k for the GH HK is right up there as well, though given how busy this property always is, I would recommend the 18k for the Club level guranatee. Also, the GH Shanghai, same deal. Or, the PH Zurich, PH Milan and PH Vendome for the 15k per night, having some very expensive daily room rates, are always great values on either FFN's or points.

If you mean the Villa Magna in MAD-that is a great bargain for 8,000 points. The last time I asked it was 12,000.

in Madrid it is the Park Hyatt Villa Magna and in Cartegena it is the Hyatt Regency Manga. The PH is 15000/night; HR is 8000/night. Confusing similar names.

In Europe, Hyatt Regency Istanbul is pretty cool place to stay and check out the bustling success of traditional islam buildings and culture melding with modern European culture. If you go to Paris, the Hyatt Regency CDG at airport is good use for last-night stay.
Within USA, the Hyatt Regency Orange County Disneyland for 8k per night is not bad since many Disneyland hotels are either expensive, or offer motel level amenities when they are below $100 per night, so during summer this property is great for family vacation with good amenities.

The double digit rate years are over...
While speaking of Cat. 1 , Greenville, SC is a good bargain for 5k as well.
Hotel is nothing to write home about, but it is a picture perfect example of an early atrium style hotel and the location is brilliant.
