Update:
I was upgraded to an Overwater Lagoon Bungalow for XPF25,553 per night. Me and my wife had a combination of paid, points, and free nights reservations (8 nights). Didn't have to pre-pay, but all of our reservations were updated to show an Overwater Lagoon Bungalow. We are going to be there in April during spring break, so I figured the hotel will be at near capacity so I didn't want to wait till I showed up to inquire about paid upgrades.Just for curiosity, I tried to do a dummy booking for an Overwater Lagoon Bungalow for the dates I am going to be there and there are no rooms in that category available to book., only Horizon Overwater Bugalows.

No awards nights anymore?
Seems like they don’t release award nights anymore. None of the date is available, no matter how far out or how close you go. Does anyone have any insights?

I have been looking intensively in the past few weeks. 0 night come available for Le Moana. Even Thalasso has availability come up. Even strange, there’s no availability even for the next few weeks. Normally, last mins availability is not hard for Le Moana in low season.

Do they really satisfy the minimum 5% reward night rule set by IHG? If not, is there any way for us to submit a complaint for that?

How did you like the beach villa? Did you also stay at Thalasso or anywhere else while in BOB?

So, I'm hoping to find award space next May and I'm fully aware that dates aren't released until four months out. But then I searched for regular revenue booking space and the vast majority of May (and much of April) are apparently totally booked already? This strikes me as odd because I've never seen Le Moana completely booked this far out in any month? For what it's worth, March and June are completely available with the exception of one day each month.
Anyone ever seen something similar here? Hoping it's just some sort of glitch in the system.

Finally heard back from the hotel. They claim to be fully booked for the month of May. I honestly wonder if they’re simply trying to push business to Thalasso at higher rates until it gets closer to May. I just have a hard time believing every room is booked for the entire month half a year out.
