Should add The Bodrum Edition to this list. Beats out most St Regis and Ritz hotels and it only costs 50,000 points per night in off season, which happens to be the best time to go.

The Ritz-Carlton Kapalua is now a Cat 8 hotel and is over $1800/night stay! I’m looking to book from the end of June to July. I have 500k points and I’m still shy 140k points for 8 days. Just an update 👍🏾

The St Regis Mauritius no longer exists. This needs an update.

My opinion: add the St Regis Rome to this list! Just used purchased points for 2 nights there. SO nice.
Also, JW Marriott in venice. On a private island you take a james bond boat to get to. Our room had a private pool.
