Le Meridien 120,000 plus $900 (cash upgrade) = Sunset Overwater Pool, 1 Bedroom Villa, 1 King, Sunset view, Ocean view, Private pool

I know Le Meridien is suppose to be nice but St. Regis makes lots of "tops" lists for the Maldives.
This looks fine but it just doesn't seem to be in the same league as the St. Regis. Given how rapidly Bonvoy points are devaluing, I would rather burn them up front for a better experience rather than hoard them for later.
