Maldives Honeymoon
« Reply #145 on: September 10, 2012, 07:42:16 PM »
Has anyone ever been to the Maldives?

I am thinking about it for my honeymoon.
Is it an extremely expensive trip?
Worth it?
Doable with kosher food?

Thanks.

Got a lot of reading to do :)

Start here, and then see the other thread discussing MLE (Maldives airport code) which I started by asking a similar question: http://forums.dansdeals.com/index.php?topic=12479.0

Good luck!

Conrad (Hilton) is going for 2.6K per night in February for the base room (!), or 40k HH w/ AXON or GLON.
Makes it so tempting.

W/ $$ or miles? For miles, it prices out the rooms at some astronomical price. Maybe calling and asking for an upgrade w/ points would be better.

Although, $2,600 seems way too much. I'm wondering if anyone pays that.

Yikes. Not cheap. And not worth it compared to the other options...

Debatable.
The water villa has a plunge pool.  37.5K+$375 is about $562/night in my book.
For high season, say February, I'm not sure you can do better for an OWB now that the W=A has left HH.  If you can I'm all ears.

For the record the Conrad will go down to $350+ upsell, same price as the Park Hyatt Water Villa upsell.

My hunch is that both are a good value in high season and a poor value in low season, though I'd love to be proven wrong.
For 5 nights at the Conrad you're looking at 200K HH (+$1,750+$315 tax upsell for water villa)
For 5 nights at the PH you're looking at 110K HGP (+$1,750+$315 tax upsell for water villa)

In February it seems that 5 nights at the Constance Halaveli is $6,175 with tax, or $4,110 more than the HGP and HH options.  That's 2.06cpp for HH and 3.74cpp for HGP.

In July it seems that 5 nights at the Constance Halaveli is $4,500 with tax, or $2,435 more than the HGP and HH options.  That's 1.22cpp for HH and 2.21cpp for HGP.

Those are the rates on their site at least, if there's a cheaper place I can check please post.
