Merdeian is a SPG and there's a hilton. So they do take points. How many miles does it take to get there?

There is also a Hyatt in the Maldives which takes points. 22k/night.

while likely not as luxurious as the others nor is it in a go-to tourist destination, it technically is an overwater bungalow as low as $120

Call them. It's already bookable.

I opened this thread just to see what kind of mangled grammar was being used in the subject. I actually tried to guess for a minute before opening it.

It could be helped just by adding some punctuation such as:

Crazy, On-Water Hotels

or even

Crazy! On-Water Hotels!

But it would probably be best to change some words since even with the above punctuation changes it still implies that the hotel is next to the water as opposed to over the water. Also, it sounds like the whole hotel. To clarify that, I might say:

Crazy, Overwater Bungalows

Ok, you can all go back to what you were doing now.

They actually don't look half bad. But you get none of the seclusion of BOB/MLE.

When people refer to the "seclusion of BOB/MLE" they are referring to the island(s), not the OWBs.

What "experience"?
The seclusion? Yes
The luxury? Yes
The beauty? Yes
The OW bungalow? Nothing really except some cheap knockoffs unless you want to head to Bermuda
