You can ask to prepay some charges and the resort will send you a paper form to complete, they also ask for a copy of the card and ID. I have done it for paid upgrades and the sea plane.
I do this to mitigate some foreign exchange risk, activate travel insurance and meet minimum spend on new cards.
All my cards have listed the charge as "Conrad Maldives Rangali" not being in the US I can't say how the credit works but odds on it will do what you need to.
