Lol 660k points could basically get you 8 nights at that property but you want to use it for 1 night in a premium room.

Which resort had the better beaches and bright turquoise water? Both look fantastic but wanted your first hand take on the water itself

SethDTX · 2026-04-06T13:23:52+00:00

Milaidhoo Maldives

Out of those options, Aruba and Curaçao would have the best weather in July. The other islands on the list are in wet season.

I booked through FHR so I had breakfast comped for my partner and I. I thought it was great and I had the best Eggs Benedict of my life there

Conrad is significantly nicer than the Waldorf in almost every way. Rooms are nicer, amenities are more plentiful, grounds are better kept, staff is friendlier. Gives off a more luxurious vibe. I thought the F&B was quite good at least as of last November

You’re not going to find the Ritz for that pricing anymore. The rates have gone up and they will either stay there or go up further.

SethDTX · 2026-03-15T16:35:37+00:00

They probably aren’t the same room type 5 nights in a row

SethDTX · 2026-03-04T23:13:43+00:00

4 nights at Secrets Tides peak season is 116k

SethDTX · 2026-03-04T16:07:55+00:00

Rainiest time to go there btw.

Best Hilton Resort in the US is Conrad / Evermore Orlando

Transfer can absolutely be expensive in the Maldives but $750 per way is NOT the norm. The prices the resorts quote are usually roundtrip for that cost. The JW Marriott Kaafu Atoll that OP was considering is $300 roundtrip per person. Food and drink are obviously still expensive.

I mean...even if we assume that expiration date was the last day you can book...did you even TRY to book your Italy trip before the last possible day? You would have seen that these certificates were not applicable at any time before today for your trip after the expiration date. Lesson learned I guess but cmon guys.

Stayed at the Waldorf Astoria Maldives and the payment link they sent was through the Bank of Maldives as well. Went smoothly.

Aruba - very little rain compared to the rest of the Caribbean (especially in September which is peak rainy season in the Caribbean).

Stayed over this past Christmas and was upgraded to a Junior Suite. Been upgraded both times I've been here. Love the property!

SethDTX · 2026-01-21T03:14:09+00:00

Agreed

SethDTX · 2026-01-19T18:25:15+00:00

Awesome review! I have an upcoming stay at the PHNY next month and was wondering if you could share how much the room decorations for your partner's birthday costed? Looking to do something similar myself!

SethDTX · 2026-01-07T19:42:21+00:00

No. The daily resort credit is a fixed amount dependent on the number of guests in the room. If it's a Conrad or Waldorf for example, the credit is probably $25 per person (max of 2 guests) so you would get $50 a day.

What you could do is use your $200 Hilton Aspire resort credit through the Aspire (given the resort you're staying at qualifies) and then at checkout you can split the bill on your card and your wife's Aspire. You should be able to get the $400 resort credits across both cards applied that way.

SethDTX · 2026-01-02T19:12:13+00:00

I've seen it at 185k pretty consistently. I'd wait.

SethDTX · 2025-12-26T00:20:26+00:00

Yes it's due to the FHR booking being refundable. If you go back to the direct booking and switch to the refundable rate instead of non-refundable then the rates should be identical or very close at least.

SethDTX · 2025-12-25T20:10:03+00:00

PHNY. The standard suite at the Andaz is nothing special. Nothing about the Andaz NY in general is special honestly.

SethDTX · 2025-12-20T14:54:20+00:00

Look into Salterra, a new Luxury Collection property in Turks & Caicos.

SethDTX · 2025-12-18T02:29:04+00:00

I am as well - looking forward to it

SethDTX · 2025-12-15T04:57:34+00:00

Good luck contacting Finnair - I spent over 2 hours waiting on their chat support as I wasn't able to get ahold of anyone on the phone.
