I just emailed OORR and I am waiting for a quote back from them. I am also waiting to search for the Conrad as well, but cant do that until 365 days prior.

actually looks like less than 3X, seems like 2008 rates start from $800/$1300/$4100/?

odd they seemed to drop the discounted pricing on seascape escape.

W not OORR. OORR and FSLG are ~2X for some villas, compared to almost 3X @ W. also note FSLG is bookable online.

OORR beach villa with pool probably shouldnt be that much more than W.

personally i find OORR beach villa with pool and FSLG 2BR overwater villa appealing.

BTW if you want the W brochure, PM me your email address.

I think $2250 is a little overpriced for that week. I would be interested in something approx $1400 or less/per night. I can;t seem to find the FSLG for 2008 bookable online. Where are you finding the prices?

for that price, maybe check out coco palm and cocoa island.

my bad, prices for FSLG are online, but only oct is bookable.

FSLG starts from $1500.

W is always bookable with points. it just costs a lot.

no idea how blackout dates etc work in other hotel programs.

called and asked, but the person i just talked to didnt know what they were doing. and i dont remember exactly which codes you have to do to check cat7 properties.

spg.com says its somewhere in the 60K>140K per night range.

might be in starwood forum. seems like one post there suggests low season rates of 95K and 120K.

IIRC only the beach oasis and ocean oasis were available for awards.

actually, one thing that is odd is that they said Dec 22 2007 is showing rates from $950... sounds like they might not have their rates for 2008 fully entered..
