timesofmaldives.com This article also agrees with the rebrand

Dreaming of using my Marriott Cat 9 cert here next year so I just need it to launch and then make a reservation before any category shuffle. Not that I want to spend a week in the Maldives, but a solid use of the cert most likely. Mostly because I think with the likely category shuffle I don't think this or any of the Starwood Maldives properties will be at the equivalent of Cat 9 travel package certs.

Seems like map is the below:

I'm afraid to ask what category this will be when it opens. I wouldn't be shocked if they made a Cat 10 just for this property.

They could always put it into one of the RC tiers :P

Or more likely there just won't every be point redemptions available, except on one off peak day per year, for a room carved out of the kitchen.

Does anyone think this hotel will be ready by November 2018 or will it get pushed out to 2019?

I think there's a very good chance it will be ready by November. Remeber it's not a new build it's a conversion.

Well, we just booked air to the Maldives for March/April. Hope t get an award stay here, but will stay at some Marriott property. Its our 25th anniversary so will be a great trip. Don't mind taking a leap of faith.
