I managed to book the King Villa with Pool for Easter 2020 on points at 120k/night for 5 nights. In checking now, no point redemptions at standard rates are avialable anymore for my dates or for days either side of Easter, so i consider myself very very fortunate to have snagged this!

I've been through this thread in detail, and want to highlight a couple of updates which may have changed recenty;

1) It was previously mentioned that King Villa was not avialable for 2 Adults & 2 Kids and that one must book a King Grand Villa in order to accommodate or upgrade to one. However, the system let me book 2 A & 2C into the King Villa and also notes this on my confirmation. Hotel has also confirmed that two rollaway beds will be provided complimentary for the kids under 12. In looking at the floor plan, it would seem really tight to have two rollaway beds - I wait to see how they accommodate this.

2) Transfer pricing; Please see below update with pricing for kids;

Transfer fee is at US$350+23.2% Tax and service charge per adult per way. For children below 4 years, the transfer is complimentary and US$100+23.2% Tax and service charge per child per way for children between 6 to 11 years.

Am waiting to hear reviews of the Atoll Transfer option that others are looking into. Even with the reduced pricing for kids, will still cost me over US$2000 for return transfers through the hotel.

3) Kids Facilities and Baby sitting - See below information;

We have the largest kids club here in the Maldives, that for sure your children will enjoy. Waldorf Young Discovery Park with both indoor and outdoor area to ensure that our junior guests have an unforgettable experience with us. Our kids’ club is for 4 to 11 years old however below 4 years old are welcome to use facilities as long as they are accompanied by their parents, guardians or you can hire babysitter from us. Babysitting Services can be arranged upon request for children 1 year and over and will be charged at US$25++ per hour until 11:00pm every day and US$35++ after 11:00pm. We are still currently working on our kids activities and program, as soon as it become ready we will share it to you.

The baby sitting prices are not over the top and comparable to other top end luxury resorts ive stayed in which hover at generally between US$15-20/hour.

4) I did ask for restaurant menus, they indicated that these are still being finalized and would only be ready by end of June.
