Exactly the point I was going to make. Call Starwood, not Marriott.

Would anyone know if its possible to grab one night each day as they release for next year and then somehow get the 5th night for free?

If you see an available night, try booking and releasing to see if it instantly goes back to inventory. If that's the case, then you should be able to theoretically book them night by night, cancel and rebook as a whole.

I tried doing that with a booking in Bora Bora and it was a no go and I dealt with my Ambassador at that too.

Has anybody been able to recently upgrade with cash for a few nights and not the whole reservation? I was wanting to upgrade 2 nights out of 5 and was refused.

My ambassador told me latest arrival in MLE is 3:30pm to catch a flight. 5pm is too late so you need to stay overnight.

I was able to book a reef villa at STR BOB 3 or 4 days ago, no problem via the app.

No chance. Last departures are around 430-5. You will miss yours 100%

You’re giving WAY too much credit to the Starriott system. I tried this with another hotel and it was a total fail - nothing came back into inventory.

I had to do this recently when moving dates slightly. Did not immediately reappear, but did come back something like 8-10 hours later. Open Hotel Alerts can be helpful with this project.

Has anyone stayed at both the W and the St Regis? Which one would you say is better? I know the St Regis costs much more but I have stayed there earlier this year so was contemplating trying out the W. Or should I stick to the STR? We will be a family of 4 with two kids under 12.

Booking The St. Regis Maldives?

When I go to either the Marriott Web site or the SPG web site and do a search for properties in the Maldives the St. Regis does NOT appear as available. (it's not even listed) If I go here ---> St. Regis "direct"
I see availability to book. Am I doing something wrong?
Thanks
BTW... if it doesn't show rooms that can be booked using points does that mean there is nothing available or just that I need to call?
