  • Worth the points? The Maldives host the most incredible resorts in the world but the Stella Maris Ocean Villa at the Waldorf Astoria Maldives tops them all. This was a very special trip for me... and Jorge ;) So I wanted to go all out. From diving, to lux food, and endless ocean views the Waldorf does not disappoint. Don't worry, you can get here with out spending millions of points!

      Jay Birong regarding pollution. The richest 10% stands for ruffly 50% of the carbon dioxide emissions. So if you are the type of person who can afford this type of vacation then you should probably look at your own contributions. Not saying that you are or that you pollute, just pointing out my opinion.

    Just got back from Conrad Maldives on a rewards trip. Honestly it is incredible! Having gold or diamond status does help and we managed to upgrade to a 2 bedroom overwater villa for only 40% the cost of the difference between our standard room and the overwater villa. However be prepared for a hefty check out bill as food is expensive and trip costs will add up. Along with that 20 minute seaplane ride.... and every thing is ++

    Hey Brian - can you give any insight as to the best flight options to travel there? I’m going from Houston, looking at United/Air India on mile for business or Singapore air ‘ premium economy via Chase UR points. How did you get there?

    • @novelist1985
      @novelist1985 3 года назад

      Know this is really late reply, but right now the only real option is Qatar Airways. You could nab a business seat for 70K AA Miles out of DFW that would get you to Doha, than a 5 hour hop DOH-MLE. Once things settle down again, TK can also be a good option. Last time we went we flew TK MLE-IST-SFO J using UA miles.

      Visit Hiltons website, do a search of Maldives using a single night and checking the box for flexible dates, you'll see which days are available for 120,000 points.

      We also stayed in Conrad Maldives for our honeymoon back to 8 years ago. We regretted of going there at the end. The weather was extremely hot and the food was not impressive at all. The overwater villa that we stayed at was just so so. I dont remember exactly how much we spend on the room, probably over 1000 dollars per night, it was not worth the money and the time.

Thanks for flexing and bringing me back down to earth.
    Sadly the only thing I can relate to regarding your travels is how ubiquitous plastic waste has become in our oceans, from South Point to South Beach. Also congrats on your Player 2.

I never thought I could ever give a testimony about this forex trading I never believed it was actually real because of my several encounters with a lot of scammers I have been in trading with different trade investors without any opposite returns. Not until I came across a man at my Instagram page which tells me how forex trade works, I decided to give a try and I invested $5000 with him to be greatest surprise I got $60,000. As my trading profit in just 7 days him might not know how much help he has been to me,I'm doing this because I promise Mr nicholas if I got paid I will recommend him to people(@nicholasjmyron) on instagram and whatsapp:+1(518) 633-5966
