No, but they offered around US$90 (tax, fee included) per night to change my room category to a regular OWV. Well, not that bad, is it?

So you have to pay to downgrade? Did you tell them that the rate for an OWV is actually lower by $xx than a BV?

Do you think this applies if checking out on the 31st?

I got it for 400k + $125. This is for mid December 2021
Is this new or a temporary change? |

Not sure if above map has been posted up there, but I just received this from the resort so am sharing this. |

The other one also had some information on room numbers (handwritten). Having the room numbers can help in pre-discussing potential options with the front desk before arriving (e.g., one of the St Regis OWV is Sunrise, while 2 are Sunset but they have the same pricepoint). I cannot see it on my mobile but the other map used to be pinned at the top as well. |

Hi All,
Headed to STR on Saturday. A couple last minute questions for the group. - Tipping for the Butler. - Do you tip at the end? If so, how much do most people give per day? Cash or Credit? - Experiences - What are everyone’s must do? We are doing Sunset Fishing a few days of spa treatments. Anything suggestions of things we shouldn’t miss? Thx |

Ah, sorry, I didn't realize the quote didn't include the original quoted comment which referenced a NYE fee. I've edited my comment now so it actually makes sense, but basically: do you thinking a Dec 31st checkout would still incur the NYE dinner fee?

I haven't asked, but since you have to check out by noon, there is no way they can charge you for a dinner! We are checking out Dec 31, and I'm not concerned about that at all.
- If you booked using points, I'm assuming Dec 25th-31st was peak? And, if you happen to remember, what was the cash upgrade per night for the sunset OWV? - I assume the hotel is fully booked during this time, do you know how much they are able to accomodate preferences for specific villas? Trying my best to avoid the ssOWV's facing the Whale Bar or, if I don't spring for the upgrade, a base OWV facing the ocean rather than the lagoon. - Since you're flying out on the 31st, do you have any unique routings for NYE? Was considering trying to book an overnight in Singapore/Dubai or maybe there's a routing that allows you to 'experience' NYE twice (maybe MLE->SIN->HNL/LAX)? Thanks! |

Awesome, thanks! I'm planning a trip during that same timeframe for next year. If you don't mind, I have a few questions:

If you're wanting to overnight to go out of the airport have you looked at the entry/quarantine requirements?
I have additional considerations/plans should things go awry, but don't want to veer too far off-topic in this thread since I'm not sure about FT etiquette. If there's a more appropriate location to ask this kind of question (or maybe via PM?), I'm also happy to edit my comment to be more StR-focused! |
