thats one problem..finding the menus with the prices. I tried to price out how much it would cost me at the Park Hyatt Maldives, and no one has the menu with prices listed anywhere.

The 'shock factor' I think of is seeing it all together for me. For example, a couple of weeks ago I was in the book store, they have recently changed their loyalty program and were asking which of the two options I wanted. So we looked at my spending habits to see which would work out best. I almost passed out when we saw I had spent over $5000 on books in the last year! When I pop in a couple of times a week, as it is good for a lunchtime browse, spend $40 on a couple of cookbooks here, $60 on a few novels there, it really doesn't seem that much at all (and I don't think it is) but to be told I have spent $5000 on such inconsequential things, it does hit you (and I tried not to think about all the amazon orders too!)
It's also the reason I didn't like my old credit card that summed up my spending by catagories. I know I eat out, and that a meal may be around $100 or so - but I don't need to be reminded how much that is if I eat out three times a week for that month. I'd rather it stayed buried as simply 'cost of living' thanks!

I don't like all that itemization either. I mean it can be helpful if you are trying to analyze spending patterns, but sometimes you do not want to be reminded of the gand total per "category"😉

A quick look over at the Hyatt forum would provide you with a nice wiki on PH Hadahaa

luxury properties (and many nonluxury) - get emailed all menus/lists from property or via agent or via central reservations
if looking for all-inclusive, may also look at south pacific. if paying holiday rates at PH, may also consider fregate seychelles
