Anyone of the people complaining about the high transfer costs ever considered the costs of a new 70 foot Yacht? A new one will cost approx. 2 million US$ ore more, depending on the layout, has a fuel consumption of up to a few hundred liters /per hour.
Also the costs for maintanance and staff. Please donīt compare it to the costs of a speedboat with 2x 200 HP Outboard motors, that other Hotels in the Maldives use.

At least Lucky from OMMAT sees it realistic when comparing the 300 $ Reethi Rah Transfer with the 350$ of the WA.
One reason, that no one ever complaint about the transfer costs of the Reethi Rah is, that you can not book the Hotel for free, for points, with creditcard certificates, ... (Except a few years ago, when the Reethi Rah was an LHW property you could use your free night here, but it was rarely available and only 3 free nights possible with the "Unlimited Membership")
