Hey guys, wondered if I might pick some brains for a potential stay next year.
We're looking at a Reef Villa for myself, my wife, and 2 kids. My daughter will be 9, but my son will have just turned 13, so I guess he'll be treated as an adult.
Will the hotel allow this in our room? Will there be any mandatory surcharge for the extra "adult" ?
And any ideas if the Diamond breakfast would cover all 4 of us?
Many thanks,
JK

Register an account with https://openhotelalert.com/, then set alerts for either a Reef Villa or Ocean Villa. That's how I was able to jump on space at the beginning of April next year within a few minutes of it opening.
If I want a minimum of 5 nights and is flexible on dates is there a way to set it up or I need to make 1 request per check in day
Also I dont see the points option?

Best way to ensure 5 nights availability is to book when it first releases.

Will more award space still open up
I was planning a special birthday trip to Maldives for wife’s birthday in March of 2021. I was budgeting around $9K for four days which is a little stretch for us. I didn’t know that for Maldives , that is considered modest. Well unfortunately, she has fallen in love with the Waldorf. I found one night of the four with points. What are the chances that one more night next year will become available with points. The budget I have will easily cover paying for the other two nights along with transfer and food. Given its popularity with points, I am wondering if I should just start looking at other places.
Thanks for your advice.

That said, it's impossible to say for sure, and a lot of people cancel 30 days out, which mean you could be waiting until February before the reward opens up.

Would anyone, by chance, have a photo of the wedding pavilion?

I completed my cancelation ( thru diamond desk), but my hilton points and certificates not returned to my account immediately, have anyone here experience the same problem. If so, how long do you see your point redeposit back to your Hiton account. I am aware there was a bug in Hi,ton system before ( when new website first come out) and it should be fixed by now.
Not sure when thing are back to normal again to book another trip.
