We booked tickets to MLE for mid February 2024, so HIGH season. It looks like a good op to burn hotel points given the current cash rates (yes, I know ... they used to be much lower )
Trying to decide between the following options ... also looking for other options that I might not have considered.

Here are our stats: Couple (no kids). Hilton Diamond and Marriott Titanium (could use SNAs if deemed useful).
My wife might want to dive, I would only snorkel. We might enjoy a nice dinner once, but otherwise not too keen on fine dining every day.
Goal is to relax and enjoy the location - a quiet location would be important (we are not fans of noise and parties).

So this is what I am getting for a 7 night stay.

Conrad Rangali: 720.000 HH Points for a Beach Villa
Westin Miriandhoo: 480.000 MR Points for a Delux Beach Villa
W Maldives: 644.000 MR Points for a Fabulous OW Villa (will need a few more points to book this, but could have this soon)
JW Marriott: 650.000 MR points for an OW Sunrise Villa (will need a few more points to book this, but could have this soon)
Le Meridien: 431.000 MR points for an OW Sunrise Villa
Le Meridien: 571.000 MR points for a Lagoon Villa Sunrise
Le Meridien: 571.000 MR points for an OW Sunset Villa
You'll probably get a lot more relevant info in the respective Hilton/Marriott threads, either in the resort threads themselves or in a catch-all Maldives thread. There's a TON of discussion and reviews in those.
