it’s for La Locanda restaurant and the wine list should be for all restaurants.

If anyone has the in-room I’d be keen to take a look too. Otherwise I’ll share it when I’m there

They'll only charge you for the transfers you actually use. The transfers is just listed as parts of the fixed add ons when you make a booking. So if you split your stay on multiple bookings, it will show one transfer cost per booking in the app. The actual charges will not include this.
My booking was 5+1 nights. I had initially booked the 5 nights, but when flight were arranged, I had to add a night. So I also had two transfer costs showing on the app.

The main part of the taxes and fees on the booking is the transfer.

The 300 series are Lagoon villas, and considered an upgrade from the base over water villas.

Can anyone confirm if the 20% F&B was still active from actual experience?
I ask because, when I inquired, the RC indicated to me the following:
With regard to the F&B discount, please be note that The Ritz-Carlton Maldives does not participate in any Marriott bonvoy discount.
I wasn’t sure if I was just information, or the discount program is no more.
Thanks!

A lot of people have posted (from actual experience) that the 20% is no longer active. I think one person said a few months back they got it honored because they booked early last year and had written proof from an inquiry…

I see that. Embarrassingly, it was clearly pointed out in post #594. Thanks for the feedback just the same!

FYI, they do honor 20% off all restaurants for Marriott Employees, just confirmed. But that only applies to Marriott Employees as it's required at all Marriott hotels (though some hotels have found a loophole to not honor it in the past).
