It’s a resort that runs about $1,300 per night plus $700 for seaplanes, and another $150-200pp or so per day in food IF you get breakfast included. Reasonably speaking, there are just not enough families that are able to afford that sort of prices with small kids. So you may (likely will) run into _some_ kids, but I wouldn’t expect something like an all-inclusive in the Dominican Republic.

Amazing info. Thanks! Can we get this on the wiki/sticky at the top of the thread?

Just checked my reservation for an award redemption next month and got upgraded to OWV from GV. I also got the local fee and taxes which add up to the seaplane transfer for 2 people.

Congrats! Just keep in mind that pre-upgrades can be taken back at any time. Good luck.

The taxes and fees listed are PER NIGHT
$12 x 5 nights = $60 taxes
$278 x 5 nights = $1390 seaplane transfer for 2 persons ($695 x 2 persons)
TOTAL FOR 5 NIGHTS = $1450

Question is - Can they see these two reservations and shift the points stay from 5/25-5/30 to 5/26-5/31?Is this SPG reservations or hotel? Worried about losing the dates as they are exactly when I want them. Any help is appreciated.
I am in a similar situation for different dates. Were you able to get your reservation shifted? If so, how did you do it?

While I did see this occur online last Saturday, this Saturday, at midnight when room availability opened, I did not see any awards open up for either the St Regis nor The W for the days that should be available. I was watching exactly from midnight onwards. GV at STR and Wonderful Beach Oasis at The W were available for cash but not points. I am not sure if it is a coincidence or not that the week that should have opened up the cash room rates were significantly higher for a GV at STR.
