Yeah, I got lucky there were a couple of 12ish year old kids in the lunch I was at but they were very well behaved.

Expected? No way. Though there's a space on every bill to add extra gratuity if you wish.

Question,
We are planning on staying at the nearby Maamigili Islands for 2 nights before our 6 night stay at the Conrad. We are wondering if anyone had information on the best way to get from Maamigili to the Conrad? Has anyone else ever taken a boat from that Island or another nearby? Can't seem to find any information out online.
Thanks.

Thanks, MaldivesFreak! I'll bring slacks for dinner at Ithaa. We don't plan on doing the Wine Cellar.

Also, I inquired about a tour of Male upon departure, and the person who's reached out to me said that the hotel doesn't arrange tours of the city. This seems to contradict what others have indicated here.

Wow, that's pretty damn cheap! Is that per person, including all taxes? And do you have an email that you can copy & paste the text from and post it here? That would be great. Thanks.

They were still offering it in June when I was there upon departure, it was free but you just had to pay a dollar for the ferry. We were going to do it for a quick tour and dinner but then our seaplane got delayed from 430 pm to 630 pm so we just had to suck up another 2 hours in paradise...

In an email this week I was told to check with my Guest Service Agent about a tour.

The tour of Male was still being offered this week. It was noted in the letter informing me of departure arrangements. As noted you just need to pay the $1 ferry fare

No, there is a place to store it at the airport, I think they said it was like 5-6 dollars a bag.

At the airport, you get your bags back (they bring them over from the seaplane terminal in a van), and then the Conrad guy will bring you across to the left luggage facility. Current cost is $6 per item

They drop the letter to your room the night before you check out. Usually it gets there around 7pm or so.

Also, I need to have one meal at the Burger King at the airport. I eat McDonald's in every country that I visit, but since the Maldives doesn't have a franchise I will have to make do with Burger King.
