PLT Benefits?
 

Can anyone advise exactly what are the PLT benefits?

Is there free breakfast?
Is there free drinks/club?

Ya I got it that they don't upgrade but do the standard PLT benefits apply? I have search the thread and can't seem to find a clear answer.

Has anyone booked via paradise is closer? It's for base room beach oasis and not an owv?

Any golds managed to get upgrade ?

You use your Platinum amenity for breakfast or it is USD 43 per person for breakfast. Well worth using the amenity.

Does anyone know why this property was removed from the W Retreats portfolio? I notice it's now just called the W Maldives.

anyone booked the all access?
just wanna hear if u guys have anything to share or any tips.
i'd also previously started another thread but thought there maybe more people able to comment on all access for w maldives on this thread :)

thanks!

I heard young children are now allowed in the resort.
Anyone been there recently?

It was a minimum age of 13 previously.

I notice the price drop at this resort since the opening of the st. regis maldives.

Over water villa prices seem the same to me ~$1300 USD per night , still better than $2500 per night I guess for st regis

Any recent stay reports as platinum?

Found very interestin rate on spg.com (~650$ +++/night)

Lurkers, any answer on this? I also find it curious that the Retreat designation is no longer found for the W Maldives property. Looking for an explanation...

An inquiry has been made. If an answer is forthcoming, we will be glad to deliver it.

Thanks, William!

Hi William [MENTION=4179]Starwood Lurker[/MENTION]. It's been a few months now since we inquired as to why Retreat was dropped from the name of this property. Any updates?

Nope. But, we just sent a reminder. If they continue to remain silent on the subject, I think we're just going to have to accept that they don't want to reveal this information outside the company.

[MENTION=680784]bhrubin[/MENTION], W brand's considered reply is:

"W moved away from “Retreat & Spa” globally, not just at W Maldives.
Our guests’ notion of leisure travel has changed, and we saw an opportunity to redefine the W leisure experience beyond our smaller, remote beach hotels.

W Escapes is our bold new take on leisure, with epic experiences in the world’s most desirable sand, ski and entertainment destinations.

Rock a boat party at W Barcelona or ride a motorbike through the jungle at W Bali.

Shake it up or shut it down – whatever life you lust for, live it @ #WEscapes ."
