I'm booked in September for 5 nights. Has anyone else with a points booking decided what they are doing as far as the food/beverage package? Can't decide whether to just go a la carte and pay individually for everything or to get one of the packages. If so, which one? First trip to the Maldives.

I typically have a late breakfast and an early dinner, so no need for lunch. I also enjoy buffets because they provide variety. If you dont like something, you can choose something else.

Personally I will be going with the half-board option as I don’t drink alcohol or soft drinks. I’m Titanium so it will cost me $100 per day.

Also, it totally is not clear to me if the $30 Platinum discount is still happening. "Ahmed Azhyn" assured me multiple times that even Ambassadors do not receive any discounts for the half board plan. Seems like they are giving conflicting information?

How much does the buffet cost otherwise? Is half board really worth it as it limits you to 2 restaurants on the resort? It gets you the buffet at the Turquoise or a $100 dinner credit at the Velaa Bar + Grill. If you plan on enjoying even a little variety, I am not sure half board is worth it. That's just my 2 cents.

Same person I reached out to but I guess they decided to roll back on the offer. I'll go ahead and remove that from the wiki and link the pdfs they sent over.

Quite generous for the resort to make roughly a third of rooms available on points!
Looks like this may no longer be the case as a beach bungalow/Sunset OWV that is available for cash may not show as available for points.
