Those palm trees look like they just survived a hurricane.

I like to get FU while on vacation, and my stay at the Conrad was heavy on alcohol consumption, so pricey but enjoyable. Curious to see the alcohol prices at the WA.

OT and let's argue this another time / another thread - I find highly it hypocritical that they offer alcohol at resorts (and on their fancy planes) [and suggest it is disrespectful against their beliefs otherwise].
The inability to BYO alcohol is one of the negatives of going to the Maldives (yet you can pay for it at the resorts). We BYO and sit on our deck and enjoy a few glasses - not to go flashing it around to offend locals.

You can also buy some Turkey Jerky, throw that away, and load the bags with pork rinds....or respect the beliefs of the host country no one if forcing you to visit.

Go to Bora Bora.....or somewhere else that does consider it illegal to smuggle alcohol in to the country.

Today they announced via Instagram, that Krug will be their house champagne. Normally the house champagne is the cheapest champagne on the wine list, so you know now, what to expect regarding prices...
And I wouldn’t expect a free bottle of champagne on arrival or on NYE like they do at the Conrad Maldives.
