Massive Devaluation for Some Popular Hilton Properties
This might sound like old news because Hilton devaluated several top properties just a few months ago. But this is yet another devaluation with some properties jumping by as much as 50,000 points.
One example is Waldorf Astoria Los Cabos Pedregal which went from 120,000 t0 140,000 back in December. Now it costs a whopping 190,000 points per night.
Waldorf Maldives Ithaafushi and Hermitage Bay have also jumped from 150,000 points per night to 190,000 points per night.
Other properties that have jumped in price as of today, include:
- South Bank Turks and Caicos: 130,000 to 180,000
- Eichardt’s Private Hotel: 120,000 to 170,000
- Milaidhoo Maldives: 150,000 to 170,000
- Huvafen Fushi Maldives: 150,000 to 160,000
- Waldorf Astoria Osaka: 100,000 to 120,000
I’m sure there are even more properties that have increased in price, so let us know if any of your favorite hotels have gotten more expensive.
Conclusion
Since Hilton Honors has no award chart, they can increase prices as often as they please without informing members. This latest devaluation has some properties jump up in price by as much as 25% once again.
The only good news is that you can still (for now?) use your Free Night Reward to book a room at these properties, as long as a Standard Reward is available.
+100 whocares. Most of use could care less about the Maldives which persecutes LGBTQ. There are many great options in Cabo and Osaka that are much better deals.
don’t know about that angle.
My visit to the Maldives was in early 2005. Did a scuba live aboard. Male – is a crowded and cramped city. People there want to leave.
Better diving elsewhere as well.
I can see why people would want to visit – novelty factor as well, but for the effort / price to get there – over-rated. I went there while living in Bangkok at the time – so it was close. And far fewer resorts then today.
But I’m in the done that already camp, so I suppose someone who has never been, or not much similar, and working a lot – it’s this amazing destination. But the blogosphere keeps talking about it like it’s the coolest place ever – even after the writers have been there.
Not sure why the obsession with Maldives and Cabo. But hey…more in those places, less in others.
Maldives is over-rated and that part of Cabo has a beach that — for all intensive purposes – is unswimmable. Steep entry angle and big waves.
Even without that…Cabo is over-rated. Been a couple of times. But hey…one man’s treasure, is another man’s junk.
