We never went in the pool in front of Alba. It felt awkward to have the pool in front of everyone eating especially when you can have complete privacy in your OWV. Still think they have one of the finest breakfast offerings in the Maldives.

On a serious note, speaking of saltwater, when I am at a resort I hit the beach pretty much all day, but when darkness falls, you would have to throw me in as well, because I do not do the ocean at night. It is the pool and some drinks for me.

You don't really get that option as they make the menu up based upon what they have at any given time as I understand it rather than publishing n advance. You are effectively putting your confidence in the Sommelier and Exec Chef, and that was well placed we thought. Overall it was a far better experience than the wine cellar dinner at Rangali.

3 adults in a OWV room?
I have locked a room in points before and plan to be there with my parents. Can 3 adults stay comfortable in a OWV room or garden villa? As it does not make sense to book the second room... Or any other better suggestions?

The OWV is substantially larger I think and could easily house a third person, it looks to me like the GV or BV would be a tad cramped.

Yes, you can easily have a third person in the OWV (we did, with a rollaway). The partition between the two can close, as well, so there's enough privacy for that.

Thanks for the information! How much the hotel charged for the rollaway bed or it could be complimentary?

). The regular price is something in the neighbourhood of $80 per day I think.

What partition? There was no separation between Living and Sleeping areas in our OWV? The best solution is probably the SR Villas that have a fully separate living space.

Doh crap, you're absolutely right, my apologies. I was confusing this with another room. Yes, there is no separation between the opulous bed and the rollaway bed - unless you put the rollaway either in the walk-in closet or in the bathroom area, which does separate. My bad.

Via the SPG Ambassador line, I was quoted USD $200/night for the rollaway for an adult. No additional fee to book an award reservation with 3 adults on it. I plan to use the sofa for the 3rd adult. The agent mentioned the rollaway isn't required for the 3rd adult. You are required to pay $67 for the 3rd adult for breakfast.

The 58,500 points per night promo books into an OWV. The coding in the system shows as seen below for a 2 night award booking...
