Hi texastraveler,

Welcome to Flyertalk! You have posted in the luxury hotels and travel forum but are not asking about luxury hotels. The proper place for this sort of question would be in the geographic forum for the Maldives, which I guess would be the general Asia forum. Normally I'd move this thread directly there but there isn't much there about the Maldives. So for a couple of days before moving it, I'll leave the thread here to see if folks from this forum have any comment since some of the hotels you mention might be considered luxury.
