in addition, St Regis Maldives has a breakfast that’s unparalleled by most hotels. I can’t remember how much Sethey would charge if you weren’t a plat or above but I’d say at least $50USD per person per day, which is 100x5 = $500 USD worth of breakfast.

Does Ritz provide better, free activities?

Im planning to head back to Maldives in 2022, definitely either St Regis again or Le Meridien
I just checked entire month of September by day for a 5 night stay. Only dates I can see RC available at 295k for 5 nights is for Sep 11th or 12th arrivals. Also noticed STR and RC have the exact same point requirements in Sep. Interestingly RC seems to have blocked off Sep 15-30 for resort arrivals.
