Which option is better: to spend Thursday evening Friday and Shabbos in BKK, HKG or SIN? I plan on going to CNX and HKT from there early Sunday morning.
Where you staying in HKT?

It seems most people stay at the Pavillions. The Luxury collection Naka island however seems gorgeous.

Can you use points to actually book into a suite? Where are you talking about?

Looking for a warm location with nice views in the US (Something like PS, MIA, or the like) but I need a location with nice/beautiful IHG hotel/s as I have 300k IHG to burn...
I like vanilla but my name is Venilla.

Have you been to any of the locations you (or I) mentioned? How do they compare and why would I choose one over the other?

Haven't been to the ones you mentioned, but I've been to the ones that I did. I would recommend GCM>CUN.

More islandy; Cancun is pretty commercial. Also just thought GCM was beautiful while Cancun reminded me a bit of Miami.
