Hi. I was just wondering what tips you could give for staying at this property. I also reserved 5 nights with points and will be going for my honeymoon. I saw they upgraded us to a BV and I scheduled a massage for one of the days. Im platinum with Marriott so Ill choose the breakfast for two but I was just wondering what other tips you could give to get the best experience out of this property. Thanks!
I am not having luck in booking any reward stay at this resort...arrrrgh.
Does anyone here know what is the extra cost of adding a 5 years old in the room? How about breakfast?

Send them an email, they will forward you all the details of it. I actually got all the private dining options sent after I send them our flight details and asked a couple of questions unrelated to dining

- If the child sleeps on sofa bed and doesn't require a rollaway bed it's $35++ for breakfast
- If a rollaway bed is required it's $100++ for both the bed and the breakfast

Anybody know if flying in on EK 660 (arriving at 15:30) is cutting it too close to make the last seaplane transfer? This is what the St Regis butler told me over email:
It's somewhat ambiguous whether a flight that is scheduled to arrive at 15:30 but is, for instance, delayed a bit will end up missing the cutoff (EK 660 in particular seems to regularly get delayed up to 30 minutes). I e-mailed them just now to clarify but they are typically rather slow to reply to e-mails.
For your kind information, the seaplane operates from 06:00am till 15:30pm, hence, we are able to arrange the seaplane transfer for all international flight landing at Male Airport no later 15:30pm.

Do you know if the free breakfast is ONLY for Plat Premier OR Plat Elite will also get free breakfast?

Booked a 5 night stay for 2019 for 240k, for 5/25-5/30 but realized we couldn't make it their until 5/26. Obviously when I tried to search 5/26-5/31 it was no availability but I was able to reserve 5/31 separately on points advance.
Question is - Can they see these two reservations and shift the points stay from 5/25-5/30 to 5/26-5/31?Is this SPG reservations or hotel? Worried about losing the dates as they are exactly when I want them. Any help is appreciated.
