Good question, and I asked the hotel the same thing since I had a reservation coming up in a few months. The answer is no, because the seaplane is through a third party. They do accept gift cards for the room and incidentals, though, since those are denominated in USD. I seem to recall reports on here of people having trouble with gift cards when other currencies are involved.

W Maldives bills you in USD so the Maldives is actually a great place to use your gift card.

Would love to hear any updates as well. I'm planning to arrive at the end of the month. Not many new photos on the resorts' Instagram account and only a few people have tagged the resort in their own photos.

There's three reviews on TA as of now with claims of Oct 2020 stays. They don't address much though.

Looking to book at the W or St.Regis, Westin with Points+Cash
.It says the standard "cancel whitin 30 days no charge". But am wondering if that includes the $ that I would pay in addition to the points. Looked everywhere online and at Marriott's terms and conditions and they don't mention it.
If you have any prior experience with cancelling a points+cash just let me know if they give you back both parts
Thanks

I booked W a few weeks ago, partly because the cancellation is up to 3 days in advance (points booking).

Also echo the request to hear what things are like currently, especially with dining. Would love to know how busy it is!

At the property right now. From what the service personnel told me, currently occupancy rates are at about 25%, lower than low season. So if you're looking to socialize and mingle, prob not the best time but if you're here for a private getaway, it's pretty awesome. Couple changes from the previous reviews I read, due to covid they don't have happy hour so no afternoon snacks that I've seen. Dining wise, either Fire or Fish is open, on alternate days, but not both. Will find out more as I try out the various dining options, it's my first time here

That's interesting, glad you're having a good time! Are they still doing the popsicles/Magnums at the bar? And to clarify, the BOGO happy hour specials are off?

As per my understanding they discontinued the popsicle/magnums entirely, I did try to get in on those today from reading the previous reviews! Will ask the manager tomorrow and see if I get a different answer. Not sure about the happy hour specials, I'll check and let you know
