If you exit the front door of 311 and walk across the "road" you see a pathway to the beach that looks like this. To the right is the first of a string of about a dozen cabanas you can rent for the day for $100 which includes $80 credit at Nava Beach Club. In my opinion the cabanas are not well located, there are motorboats and water sports stuff right in front of them, and there's certainly no reason to get a cabana if you have a beach villa. I guess if you're in a water villa but you have kids who really want a beach and you want some privacy on the beach and you were going to eat at Nava Beach Club anyway then it might be worth it to rent a cabana.




To the left of the pathway is crap. Meaning, a large utility room for towels and whatnot, a smaller thin utility-looking shed, and a white tank of some kind.

Is it a dinner buffet?

I'm interested in Yasmeen photos if you have any.


Re: room water; its just still water (like conrad's) and plenty to go around, officially its two large (1litre or a bit more) bottles per room but we have had 5-6 large bottles on an ongoing basis, gets replenished at morning room service and evening turndown.

I thought so but now I see there's a dinner menu so maybe not.

Thank you jphripjah for taking the time out of your vacation to explain and take photos for us eagerly waiting FTers!!

In your photo (which I've resized), how deep is the water in the light blue and dark blue areas?

Thank you for all the informative information and pictures! My wife and I are scheduled to arrive in November.
In your opinion, which BV is the best for beachfront and privacy??

Casual Traveler

Thank you jphripjah, alanslegal and Stivelio, I really appreciate your reviews and perspectives. At first I was a bit hesitant, but you definitely ease my concerns a great deal.

@Moflav, we will be at the resort the week of Thanksgiving, love to meet up for a drink if you are there as well.

Moflav

Sure thing Casual Traveler - FT peeps are the best!
I am super excited about the resort!

Did you have to bring it up along with a copy of the "proof" or they just know?

ddkrules

So you ended up paying only 189 + taxes?

Stivelio

Yes. $189 + taxes X 2

I mentioned it to them and they didn't ask me for any "proof"

Arrrgh! Rain!!

My concierge told me a few days back that Conrad Maldives Rangali Island gets more rain than other resorts to it's atoll positioning or something. This morning, we've got the rain.

I don't mind it really, it's been hot and sunny the last four days, uncomfortably so at times, for me. I went out in the water on my first day here, not to snorkel, just to wade out 30-40 meters in chest/shoulder deep water, and sit and walk around out there for a while, while wearing a hat and sunglasses. Stupidly I didn't put on sunblock and I managed to get a moderate sunburn on my entire back, even the parts of my back that were submerged in water almost the whole time.

Since then I've been wearing a T-shirt in the water, like my mom used to make me do when I was seven.

A little rain doesn't hurt.
