Doesn't have to be the same level of details as your MLE/USM TR  ;)
I'd be happy with the shortened version  :)
But I have all of this on my IG stories...

For some, but for many it just means they'll never see it. And they can't look back at it when they want to look it up.

Curious if it’s a MLE restriction or just a hotel restriction. I asked him to find out. Will update when I hear more.
Dear Mr.....

 

Greetings from Waldorf Astoria Maldives Ithaafushi, an escape for unforgettable experiences.

 

Thank you very much for your email.

 

Kindly be informed that we do not have nether kosher chef, nor kosher kitchen on the island, however we had many kosher guests before, who brought their own frozen kosher food. We do allow Kosher guests to bring their own meals and we will store the food in our chillers. Each meal preparation is charged at US$50+ 23.2% Tax and service charge per person. In the villa there is a small mini-bar fridge, but you can keep the frozen food in our storage fridge.

 

Should you require further assistance with pre-arrival arrangements, feel free to contact us.

 

Have a wonderful day ahead!

So... for two people for dinner, spend $50 on POM meals then $125 more on "meal prep." $175 a day for dinner.

Doesn't look like WA is in our future.

You bring your own toaster oven. They don't charge for storage

Or just store in a polar bear bag and bypass the questions of how you'll heat the food up.

They didn’t ask me any questions. I stored the polar bear bag in their freezer and took out meals when needed and heated it up in my toaster oven. When not in use the toaster oven was hid in my suitcase :).

WA gave us a fridge.
They even washed the dish's for us after dinner every night, including sweeping the challa crumbs Friday night  ;D

we left the burner out and they didn't say anything.
The fridge I asked for before my arrival and mentioned it's for kosher food

The Sheraton Full Moon seems like a steal at 50k pts/night for a basic room and no seaplane charge. Thoughts/experiences? Also, what are the chances of getting a free upgrade to a nicer room? Thanks in advance!
