From personal experience, we planned to leave the hotel after the happy hour. Your personal concierge will sync this with you on your last day. Thus, we were on the yacht to leave the resort at 18:00 (Island time) to catch 20:25 QR flight to Doha. Given the time changes back an hour, you will still arrive around 2 and half hours before departure time. The crew/staff are fantastic and will take your luggage and bring you to the check-in counter and ensure you have all necessary paperwork.

Awesome, thanks for the replies.
I booked a flight out of MLE that departs at 9:45 AM Mal
é time, and I'm wondering if I would have enough time to have breakfast at the resort before I need to head to the airport.
Would it be possible to ask the hotel to arrange a transfer 2 hours before the scheduled departure instead of the usual 3?
Is that going to be too close and potentially incur risk of missing our flight?
