Thanks for review.
For comparison the St Regis Maldives had bikes for everyone labeled with room number.

going to be there in August - was wondering what the wifi speed / throughput reach is like, and if it reaches the OWVs?

My wife thought I was a dork for taking this picture outside our room. Guilty as charged. The orange conduit usually signifies fiber cabling. That ran directly to our room.

We were at the far end of the OW Villas. No issues with internet. We were able to surf, stream videos and monitor home security cameras with no issues. It was so good we never turned on the TVs in the room. Just looked at content from our devices. We also streamed music from our Alexa App and Pandora over the Bluetooth speakers in the room inside/outside. Very nice feature.

Agree with Traveler Dave. Internet in the room was excellent. Actually it was better there than in the main part of the resort from my experience.

If you’re diamond, any reason to go for those standby upgrades. Those aren’t guaranteed anyways, so if they’re available, wouldn’t you be upgraded for diamond?

Eco fee and taxes on award stay?
just curious if the Conrad charged city taxes and eco fee on award stays? I’m seeing those added to my total charges per day.

Thanks TD. Leaving in about a week and will subscribe to a vpn. Was actually thinking of taking our Alexa dot with us as the kids like to request songs, but not sure how to setup vpn on Alexa. It’s easy on the phone but not so much on the device.

Install VPN on phone
Connect phone to Conrad WiFi
Enable hotspot on phone (hopefully your phone/tablet has that feature)
Use Alexa app to connect DOT to you phone hotspot/WiFi
Think I have covered all the steps. If anyone sees an error please correct me. If there is an easier way please add .02.

Sunscreen?
Can anyone who’s been lately comment on if sunscreen is provided at facilities (pool?) and if so, what is SPF etc...?
