The milaidhoo offers an insanely big villa, that already comes with a huge pool, for a 40k points difference (I’m staying 4+1 nights). It was a no brainer to me - ratings and reviews are also glorious. The property seems to have better quality food overall and better marine life, both of which are important to me. It’s also currently selling at almost 17k$ for my dates, which made the redemption quite appealing overall.
That being said it’ll be my first time in the Maldives so we will see, can’t imagine it’ll be horrible

When did you book the Milaidhoo? When I did a search yesterday and today, I'm getting "rate unavailable" for every month. I assumed it was not opened for points booking yet but it appears others may have had some success booking with points already.
