Bahamas are a stones throw from DC. Would LOVE to go to Maldives but need some serious time off from work. There are not many top notch Caribbean resorts to book on points. The Conrad should be a great close lux destination.

doing FS and mansour this summer? 
i guess not all the interior work is done, but theyre still paying MO for preopening. maybe not paying as much though, as it seems 2 people recently left, forget if both or just one to FS.

IMHO a handful of SL and MO accommodations seem like pretty good value.
does cent get 2nd nt free? confirmed upgrades dont look that great.
otherwise 4th nt free on suites. €1313 / €1388 isnt bad for 1.5 bath? and thats permanent.
SL only did a free night certificate thing at opening, although not just for suites.
