Maldives hotel on jetsetter on sale: http://www.jetsetter.com/hotels/maldives/male/2108/vivanta-by-taj-coral-reef?nm=splash&ca=hero&cl=0&rid=0

Can anyone opine as to advantages to sticking with a known chain over this one?

Has anyone used this hotel chain elsewhere in the world?

Thanks

"Below are the price we shall offer you for kosher meals.

Soups – USD 20

Main Course – USD 80

Desserts – USD 25

subject to 10% service charge and 8% GST.

"

was there a price change???

I saw that it was posted that PH Maldives is $50 a meal, it seems that they are nickeling and diming you here when they charge you for each individual course and went up quite a bit since May 1st!

That is a drastic rise in price. But I imagine they were losing money on people not eating all the meals they ordered them and raised the prices

Do they charge to store/heat up if you bring your own?

Why not contact the supplier directly and get them to ship it?

Good luck getting something shipped from AUS to a MLE resort without doing it through the resort...

I assume you know who provides them the food..
its prepared by Kleins Gourmet, and exported by.. (I forgot, but I did speak to them to ask them a different Q; and i dought they will ship to hotel w/o the hotel's ways of ordering food..)

Dan · « **Reply #672 on:** June 14, 2013, 01:29:34 AM »

Hotels always have converters.

does anyone know if there is free wifi at the PH maldives?
and if so is it in every room? and is it normal speed?

men · « **Reply #674 on:** June 20, 2013, 11:17:50 AM »

Yes they offer free wifi in all rooms. Speed was very good average 5 to 7 mb

Kosher1 · « **Reply #675 on:** June 23, 2013, 09:31:12 PM »

Thank you MEN.
would anyone know the following:
if I would like to take a george foreman to make a few dinners there will I need a special GF for it (220v) or I can take an American 110v $:-\$ there and it will work?

Men did you get kosher food on your recent visit, for they uped the prices drastically to $80 main dish $25, $20 side dishes thats $200 a meal!

any comments on that??

Last Q: I am flying from NYC to SIN staying there for 24 hours then continuing the journey to MEL, would you suggest that I can take frozen Vpacked meat in the freezer packs (Polar Bear Coolers 24 Pack Soft Cooler) and put under the plane then letting it sit in SIN for 24 Hours, and putting it again under the plain for another flight, in total it will be out for a whopping 47 hours

(in polar things)
maybe I can put dry ice in there? please all comments are appreciated!

Awesome. Though it'd cost 180k AA RT in F and I'm not even sure off the top of my head if AA will route you to Middle East via Asia on one award. Even if they would, I'd much prefer EY.

I don't think it's allowed.
