not necessarily all of those in one place, but many return here because they have points; and of the 3 Maldives options this is the best for reef and isolation.

once you aren’t spending points I’d quickly look to make sure I was getting value.
I booked CMRI because i did use points...8 night stay with srandard reward. Looking at paid upgrade options. I did not blow the budget with airfare by forgoing paying for business class and just booking economy with my AA miles. This means I have some cash to splurge on room upgrade.
