@G-CIVC You mentioned the electric plugs were not working, no blu ray player and the entertainment systems (except the TV) had problems. Do you remember if the floors and other aspects of the interior were in bad shape?

Perhaps avoid 335 as it was reported to be in bad shape as of a year ago. Check out these posts: https://www.flyertalk.com/forum/29358701-post142.html & https://www.flyertalk.com/forum/30217731-post1716.html

The outdoor deck and bathroom was in good condition tho and the outdoor jacuzzi was very enjoyable. The walk in closet (room) was also entirely serviceable and in good shape.
I owe this thread (that once in a while I peruse nowadays!) a full review of my stay back then. Looking back now (as the pain of paying the bill has subsided), what a great stay. My SO who was critical at the time we were there is now longing to be back. Guess it's the carefreeness and good food and weather and ambience everything. I miss Sunset Grill and Mandhoo so, so much and definitely won't call them overpriced at all! We would totally go back if they promised not to enter our villa on their own with the DND sign again Next time, we would probably just stick ourself at a more secluded DBV, forget about excursions or those 'maximizing experiences', just enjoy a week of great food and great weather under the Maldivian sun...

Quick question: Read the entire forum and hadn't found the answer to this one: Is the water from the tap in the rooms potable? While the staff will bring extra water if requested, can we just drink the water from the faucet?

I am returning to Conrad Maldives for 3rd stay in 10 years early next month and have booked Standard Room Rewards Water Villa.
I recall in my first visit in 2009, I stayed in the superior water villas where the water is only knee deep length. 2nd visit in 2015, I stayed in the Retreat Water Villa and the water was deep enough for proper snorkeling.
How's the water villas? Is it worth it upgrade to Deluxe Water Villa?

For the seaplane transfer: In addition to the 5kg allowed for a rollaway, can you also bring a small purse/backpack? Or will they weigh that too?

As note, despite the Wiki statements, we earned points on seaplane transfer (and I also believe service charges, but am less sure about that).
Earning Points at the Resort - What Doesn't Qualify
Please note that any charges on third party services will be ineligible for points, e.g:
• Seaplane Transfer*
• Water Sports
• Dive Centre
• Spherique Boutique, Island Breeze or any other shops*
• Service Charge
• T-GST (Tourism Goods & Service Tax) and Green Tax (both government levied)

From the email I received from the resort it states that you are allowed 25kg for a checkin bag and 5kg for the carryon.. So seems like they gave you 1kg/2kg extra

Everything is weighed. My briefcase was over and Mrs. Majuki's carry on was not, but we weren't charged extra. They did offer to store my briefcase in the back of the plane going/returning to have a more comfortable ride, which I accepted.
