Well... i mean there's 10% service charge and the resort is sooo expensive that I didn't tip that much. But yes, I charged tips to the room bill and didn't carry any cash at all.

Can anyone confirm that the contact emails for this resort are still: [email protected] and [email protected] ?

Been emailing both but no reply for almost a week now.

Questions, you mean if you have the redeem rooms then it not qualified as Stay?

But, how about you just go and live at any marriots hotels for 2 days, before you go to maldvies...
do you think then all the spending you spend on st regis will earn double points?

Because i'm going there for 10 days, I think with all the acitivies and restaurant and things like that......double point will make a huge difference @@

Just booked a trip for me and my parents, and didn't expect the hundreds of $ per person, per night "extra person fee" for the third person, on top of the seaplane fee which I'm happy to pay for. The room comes with sofa bed, so absolutely no additional work is needed on their end (I think?). Correct me if I'm wrong.

Are there any way to fight this charge? Has anyone had any success? What if I tell them the reservation is for two, and change it to three last minute at the seaplane port? I know this is cheap, but I don't feel too bad fighting this rip-off.

Thanks all!

I believe their maximum occupancy is 2 people, however kids under 12 can stay under existing bed arrangement up to ...2 kids.....(3 kids have to be double bed room)...
if you refuse to pay, then they can also refuse for you to stay (or only allow 2 of you to stay).....then u will be stuck with awkward situation...

Thank you for your reply! We actually have three adults (me, 30, and my parents, both in their late 50s). I agree with you and tend not to create awkwardness first day on the trip. That being said, it just bugs me that I am already paying for a 1 King+1 sofa bed room where the maximum occupancy is 4, but still have to pay extra for the "extra person" for almost no additional services. I already emailed reservation saying 'we'll be spending a activities and dining, but they said there isn't much they can do.

Is this fee common with other Maldives resorts? Or is it just Marriott (I know Westin and W both have the fee)? I did some googling and surprisingly, not much results came up. I'm now wondering if I'm being unreasonable (blush) but also why people would be okay with this rip-off. It's not an all-inclusive resort.

What is your Plan B if seaplane is fully booked?

maxw97

Thanks for your reply! Good question. I assumed they wouldn't be so busy that they couldn't accommodate a last minute addition, but if there is a legit chance (even if it's just over 10%), I wouldn't risk it. What do you think?

3 nights / 4 days. I think it's only fair to give the GM an opportunity to respond. If he does not do so within 24 hours then I will share my experience in full.

I personally wouldn't risk it but it all depends on ones risk tolerance. Those twin otters seat only 19 and is weight restricted. You may also want to check if there is a later flight that day.

I have a 6 night award stay. Any idea what happens if I want to drop the first night and instead make it 5 nights (same remaining dates). Will they allow that or will they try to reprice? Should I just no-show on the first night?
