The Viceroy had 61 rooms, which is what the Marriott info sheet/site said. Pictures look pretty good and expecting a number of JW upgrades ***** HOTEL VICEROY MALDIVES, FUNADHOO *****

Not that I want to spend a week in the Maldives, but a solid use of the cert most likely.

Seems like map is the below:

Or more likely there just won't every be point redemptions available, except on one off peak day per year, for a room carved out of the kitchen.

Well, my faith is shaking. Might need a back up. Yesterday the website said opening November 2018. Today, Jan 2019....these things tend to creep.
