Best Maldives Bonvoy hotel with regards to getting there / local plane or boat cost?

Seems points values are fine, but some have crazy travel extras ($900 seaplane to st Regis!)

From what I hear, the majority of the hotels in the Maldives will require sea planes... however, there’s a Facebook group called 10xTravel and it’s filled with all points pros who can help with Maldives travel on points.. I’ve found the group to be super helpful- always tons of great posts on point redemptions

Just be aware that whenever you go, the food costs are really high. When I went I ended up paying cash for an all inclusive and it was worth it

Seaplane for the St Regis is actually $695 (still expensive AF)

Definitely the st Regis. Used points for the overwater bungalow. Status is a must for that free breakfast. A personal pizza cost $40 lol.

But you ate the $700 seaplane?? How many days did you stay? Worth it vs somewhere else without so much extra cost?

Hi, I'm an employee at a hotel chain who works remotely. I've been working remotely for over a year now and I love it! The company I work for is very supportive of remote workers, which is great.

But there's one thing that's been bothering me: it's hard to get feedback on my work when I'm not in the office. It would be great if there was some kind of system that let me know how my performance was being evaluated while I'm working on projects from home.
