From the resort directly, we’re booked into a DBV so they were emailing to advise of the planned renovations as I had asked about them previously.

They are redoing up and down the 200 range villas now. Oddly, several seem to be occupied. If I were them the noise would bother me, especially when the tile saws are running it can get loud. I heard them above the wind while getting into the water at the house reef. Erosion is pretty bad around 202 and above too.
Definitely. There will be service issues aplenty I imagine.

We head out for our first visit July 20-30th. Our current return flight leaves on Qatar airways around 10:30am and arrives in Doha around 1:30pm. Award space just opened up to have a 6:30pm departure arriving in Doha around 9:30pm. Any thoughts on if we should switch or not? We’ve never been to Doha and would be nice to get a flavor of the city but we already have a 10 hour layover (4pm-2am) on the way there and signed up for the city tour. I have a hunch it will be hard to leave the Conrad that early in the morning and pass up another 6 hours at heh resort.

@MaldivesFreak any specific spots you'd like picture of the erosion? I've got some of in front of the 200 villas area. Rest of spots look fine and the higher 200 area seems like they put more sand in closer to Mandahoo. We are here on our last day but happy to take as time permits.
It was kind of hard to tell how many buffer villa between renovations and occupied villas, but I noticed one that seemed to be 2 away (guessing from the footwear outside the doors to mean occupied).

@Jimwagner2 Did you see my revised dining plan on the previous page?
And would you like some recommendations for music? I know it's very subjective but I've got some really good stuff that goes with a lot of what a trip to the Maldives has to offer, especially the seaplane ride.
