I´m planning on booking two rooms for three adults and two children. How is breakfast for Diamonds? Only for two people, for everyone in the same room or for all the rooms under the same reservation?

You should be fine, but depends on the children age. We had one room with 2 adults 1 child 9 years old. No extra charge. With two rooms, Diamond, you are covered for 4 people in the reservation.

How does pre-paying for an upgrade work with regards to the final bill at checkout? Does it appear with a corresponding credit reflecting the pre-payment so that you then get the HH points for it? Or is it done in some other fashion and you don't get the HH points for the pre-paid upgrade?

If you use your Hilton card to pre-pay the points will post just as if you were paying there at checkout. I used my Aspire card and the $250 credit posted a couple days later. Long before we arrived. All the points posted at some point, don’t recall exact dates. The final bill will show the charge/credit for your records

As usual TD your help and advice is much appreciated! Further to what you said, how does that work with promos if one pre-pays? For example, right now I am registered for the double-points starting with 2nd stay promo - will the final folio upon checkout reflect double-points on the entire cost of the stay (i.e. including pre-paid upgrade), or only double-points on what is charged at the resort? I ask because right now I don't yet have a first stay under my belt that would trigger the 2x points on a pre-pay
I usually sign up for the same offers, and hope they all post correctly. I realize from reading here and other blogs that is not always the case. But unfortunately don’t have the time to track it all.
I also signed up for that promo. We are staying at the Singapore Conrad for night before heading to the WA Maldives, so hoping/assuming I will get a buttload of Points on what I assume will be a massive bill.

Advice for staying in IHG THLASSO and Conrad Nui
Hello, need some advice on Logistics

i know Conrad Offers round trip boat rides from BOB and Thalasso the same. But since I will be going to Thalasso from BOB then Thalasso to Conrad Nui then from Nui to BOB.

Contact these guys. My experience has been this is who the hotels use, they just mark up the cost ALOT. Go direct. Save a ton.

For a price the Thalasso would no doubt provide a private transfer

When you say “offer’ I am presuming you mean with a fee?

Does this company do airport transfers or just tours? I will keep this handy for tours, but I don’t see info about transfers.
BTW, how much time in advance do you need to book with them? We fly out today. I assume we can book once we’re there?

Interesting side note. Don't recall all the numbers off the top of my head, but the fee Conrad and IHG quoted us for the 15 minute boat ride between resorts was more than DOUBLE the cost we paid for an all day private snorkel boat day trip. On the same style boat.

I presume they can drop you at BOB, but there could be some agreement that keeps the tour operators from doing that so resorts can extort their customers. We have only used the service to transfer from hotel to hotel. We arranged a day in advance. Shoot them an email before you head out.
