2br sunset OWV or 1br regular OWV
Hi - we had our honeymoon for right now canceled a few months ago and we’re rescheduling for November. Just the two of us and I’m seeing:
- regular overwater villa for 425k points
- 2 bedroom sunset overwater villa for $1000+400k points
seems like overkill but a great deal for the sunset 2BR. We just want sunset but that’s not an option at a reasonable price. What are the cons to the 2 bedroom besides the additional $1000?

Interestingly the Hilton resorts are still happy to have arrivals from the 1st July it seems, although from recent contact with the Conrad they were suggesting late July as a safer time to look to book for!

It seems like all the Marriott resorts have taken the same position, I wonder if its as much about staffing as also lack of guests as if the news on The Maldives opening up from 1st July is accurate I can imagine there will be a decent amount of guests before 1st October. India is badly hit and quite a lot of workers came from there so it maybe they simply don't think they can or its worth trying to coordinate things prior to 1st October.

I am going to guess they wil refund the booking and you will have to rebook. They are not obligated to move the current booking, so I would reach out to the resort and ask them if they are willing to do this before they just cancel refund it.

MrM2016, reservation refunds may take up to 90 days from the date the reservation was cancelled to be processed. The form and timing of refund may be subject to applicable laws where each hotel is located. For details on our cancellation policies related to COVID-19, please visit: https://marriott-re-2019ncovc.com/. If you need further assistance, feel free to send me a Private Message here on FT with your first/last name, reservation details, and contact information.

I hope I don't have to file a chargeback as I am intending to stay with them next year, but if I can't trust the resort to process a simple refund I'll take my business elsewhere.
In a word: Infuriating. The email chain is now 30 posts long, with all number of excuses and commitments being missed.

For reference, 90 days have now passed since I made my refund request for a pre-payment on an April stay. I've just chased them again today and I've been informed that supposedly the refund was issued a month ago to me. This is incorrect as it never appeared on my card statement.
