Twp examples of good awards to buy points instead of paying cash:

Zemi Beach House

Cash

Points

Five-night stay would cost $3,600 or 380,000 points (you can buy them for $1,900).

Waldorf Astoria Los Cabos Pedregal 

Cash

This is rather a pricey hotel. The cost of a five-night stay would set you back $8,175 or 480,000 points ($2,400 if you buy the points).

Conclusion

The award availability is good at the moment, and reward reservations are usually flexible in case of last-minute cancellations or modifications (always check the cancellation deadline!).

You have to keep in mind that Honors awards include all fees and taxes that sometimes can be an additional 30% on top of the initial rate displayed.

The best use of Hilton Honors points is when the paid rates are through the roof, such as the examples above and lower cat properties with high paid rates.
