Breakfast : USD 65 per adult per night, subject to 23.2% government tax and service charge (Ala Carte - Served at La Locanda restaurant)
I believe this includes unlimited a la carte dishes and drinks.

Honestly, I don't think you'll be spending more than that. The portions are actually quite big and we're big eaters. If you're trying to save, just go with a la carte with all your meals (except breakfast) and skip on the tasting menus getting 2 apps, 2 entrees will run you about $200-250 I think total and it's definitely more than enough food. Add in drinks, you'll spend probably another $100. It's not as bad as you think and you can always order more, but budgeting $700 more than enough. The tasting menus at all the places turned out to be way too much food and a bit of a waste. The buffets were also too much food and a bit expensive for what it is.

I think most hotels in the Maldives have been pretty aggressively ramping up prices for all extras over the last 1-2 years whilst it has been such a popular choice during COVID, especially new hotels still finding their feet that may feel they 'underpriced' things originally. I imagine most hotels in the Maldives send all the prices by email for this reason so they can update them regularly!

Did you book your stay with points or you have a cash rate that includes breakfast? I'm asking because if it's with points, how is breakfast included?
. Enjoy your stay and I look forward to your comments/ review.

But if you are happy with the more limited selection, then it can be a good deal.

Mini bar?
Does anyone have the in-room mini bar selection and price list please? When you crack a bottle do you buy the whole thing?
apologies if already answered trying to do this with a broken elbow and tried to go back in time but not sure I made it through all pages.
thank you!
