The Maldives in October
October is the Maldives wettest month, with high humidity and with possible whole days of rain. Its a good time to take advantage of the best value offers if youre willing to spend as much time enjoying your resorts facilities as on the beach. October is the last month of the Maldives surfing season and the last month of the year for good sightings of whale sharks and manta rays.https://www.kuoni.co.uk/maldives/best-time-to-visit

October is hit or miss. You could have several days of all day rain or you could have quick 30-60 minute downpours.

No status discount on meal plans even if you choose breakfast as amenity. I paid $125 for full board meal plan but they also offered me half board for $95. (I'm Titanium)
Also note, if two people are staying in a room they will not allow one person to buy a meal plan and not the other.

It seems to be consistent since our check in on sat sep 11 , they are pushing for all inclusive . However , 3 days ago we were quoted $65 for half board and $200 for AI . It seems that is no longer the case. But likewise thanks to FT , they honoured the $125 plan when we mentioned. . Regardless , the food quality has been very good so far from both turquoise and Veela
It looks like this is an updated PDF too, as it only includes a select (like 5) cocktails in the full board plan

I just emailed and asked and they referenced the full board plus at $155, not $125

yeah that's super disappointing that they limit your choice in cocktails considering they are all about the same menu cost. I get the wines, since some are really expensive, but limiting to select cocktails makes this not a deal imo (unless you don't drink cocktails).

Backup is to forward to fongo number but as a last resort since its not as clear and echo's sometimes. Also, need to receive text messages promptly. Not end of the world, but just want to plan ahead.

Was watching a YouTube video from a couple who went to the Le Meridien and upon check in at the seaplane terminal, the LM rep brought them to the VIP lounge. They didn't pay for it and were not expecting it. Does anyone have experience with that so far? Its a nice benefit if so. I think just a few of the resorts have lounges there, but I am guessing many are shared.
