Dear Guest,
Greetings from Sheraton Maldives Full Moon Resort and Spa.
Further to your email, We offer complimentary transfers for our direct cash rate reservations, However for our guets who booked our special rate such our explore rate, redemption point , and other booking with special terms and conditions, the shared speedboat transfer can be arranged at USD additional 80 net per person per roundtrip since the shared speedboat transfer will not be included.
We did a points stay (with SNA + cash upgrade) last year and they won't budge on it, we had to pay the transfer fee.
We tried to argue that we are paying cash for upgrade but they still didn't agree to waive off the transfer fee.
