IIRC the special was like $170 and $210 for first 2 rooms and then $254 for the 3BR.

the resort is part of per aquum, which operates 2 high end luxury resorts in the maldives, and 1 in sri lanka.

in terms of value >
#1 by far - East Asia (except South Korea and Japan)
- Mexico/Central/South America
- Maldives

id personally stay away from mainstream chain properties, and stick with luxury/smaller chains, boutiques, and villa rentals. (ordered by decreasing price/increasing value)
