This is my concern if I stay at St Regis or RC - the beach isn’t as perfect as the W and there is no reef or not a good one and that will be a let down. And I’ll have spent my points or more money and been let down even if the rooms are much better.

I feel like after the W that is what I expect. Maybe the Halcyon is similar to W in that it’s a small island and has a similar size to it with the water villas separate and it is meant to have a great reef too but that resort is right in the middle of points pricing between W and RC.
