Please don't go to MLE without a private pool.

Why? I am guessing the pools are small, no?

Very refreshing after an ocean snorkel or at night under the stars.

-1. not sure why you say that. We stayed at the conrad  (owb and garden villa) both with no pools, and had a fabulous time. Whenever we went to swim in the main pool it was only us in there (wife just wore one of those long covering things, dont remember what they are called lol)

Eh  I’m spoiled from the 66x15ft pool I got at conrad USM so every other private hotel pool is tiny in comparison

  • Location: The value of a forum such as this one is not in that one can post a question and receive an answer, but in that the question has most likely been asked before, and the answer is available to him that will but only use the search function.
  • Programs: 1. Search on google. 2. Search in the right board of DDF with a general word or two. 3. Read the wiki. 4. Read the thread. 5. Ask away.

Just confirm it's ok before checkin. Feel free to pm for tips.

Usually not a problem.

@Dan Private pools are great for frum couples. Not as special for other people imo.

How bad of an idea is it to overnight in MLE?
Coming from HKG seems the CX flight forces it. What are my other options?
Life isn't about checking the boxes. Nobody cares.

Definitely not ideal if there's another option. Not the end of the world either.

I'd prefer not, but I wouldn't let that hold up an otherwise workable trip.

Yes. GIYF with respect to particular hotel's agreement.

On the bright side, an overnight can let you potentially check in early and maximize the value of your stay. But of course not ideal.
