Most of the air taxi only runs during daylight, so that will be a problem. Even if I could find an airtaxi, I don't feel good about paying $1000 and arriving there at 10-11PM. If I'm paying $1000 a night, I'm going to be there at 6AM

If I do end up going, I'll post pics. You do the same
From what I understand, there is a hotel right on the same island as the airport where most of the folks with off-hour flight times like yours stay, overnighting until they can catch their plane or boat to whichever place they are staying. It is, of course, more money to stay there than in Male. So, start paying the W with a day after you arrive, and use that money saved towards the airport hotel, or take an extra day and go directly to a hotel in Male and enjoy some time there before surrendering yourself to the sun and surf.
