As I wrote about back in June, we will be going to the Hilton Condrad Maldives for an award stay next year. I’ve read a lot about the resort online – including stories about the unique underwater restaurant they have there.
To commemorate their fifth year anniversary, the Maldives is swapping out the restaurant for a honeymoon suite. You must book the suite fourteen days in advance by contacting the hotel directly.
While certainly a once in a lifetime experience, I can’t imagine how much they are going to charge for the privilege of staying there. Insert your Soprano – “sleeping with the fishes” joke here.
The bigger question is – is there a way to get the Diamond upgrade to the fish suite?
You’ll really enjoy yourselves! My wife and I took a RTW trip in 2008 which included stops in both the Maldives and Bali. If you couldn’t have made the Maldives work out, Bali is a helluva a backup plan (we loved it so much, we went back to Bali this last summer – on CX first class using our AS miles, natch). The Maldives are unique, and you’ll likely be the only Americans at your resort. Ironically, given your routing, there were a lot of Russians in the Maldives. Menus in russian even.
Enjoy!
@Eric – thanks! We can’t wait – we are so excited
You’d not want to sleep in. It’s one thing to think of the view looking out but what about the view looking in?
“is there a way to get the Diamond upgrade to the fish suite?”
Sadly HHonors explicitly excludes upgrades to suites as a program benefit.
And elite benefits are somewhat limited at this property in any case.
But it’s still pretty impressive!
