Would a St. Regis Suite even be better than the Sunset OWV if it's on the lagoon side and faces into the resort (since there's only one on the sunset side so that seems low probability)? Have seen some people on here actually like the north-facing rooms due to the heat of the sunset-facing villas, and have seen on here to avoid the closest in sunset villas that face the whale bar due to lack of privacy. Would love to get some perspectives on what to prioritize in case we have a few options at check in. This is our first and likely only ever trip to the Maldives so really want to make the most of it! Thanks so much.
Sorry to say it, but Platinum is at best a mid-tier status at Marriott and the Maldives are not exactly the place where upgrades tend to happen anyway. You can get extremely lucky to have one offered to you, but I would not count on it. There really aren't any bad options here - just enjoy it
