I just spent from the 22nd to the 27th at the hilton using points. I was not charged any taxes. The $500 X-mas supplement was a little painful (two people). This resort is amazing. I have been to the two resorts in FP (Bora Bora / Moeria) and would but it in the same category or better. We LOVED the water front villa (free upgrade as I am platinum). Service was great. Loved the Seychelles (my second visit). Food was great (for they seychelles). In Maritius now and then off to Conrad Maldives tomorrow. Will write a full report on the way home. Feel free to PM me if you have any specific questions.
