    I forgot @Cat was there more recently! Probably more current re gold/diamond benefits as well, I think these were gutted after Covid.

    I really like the Conrad. I’ve been there on redemptions in 2019, 2020, 2022, 2023 and 2024. I had been booked for this year, but switched to Milaidhoo when they got added to the portfolio in July last year… and that was a great move. Transfer and half-board for 130K points. Although the Titan Triggerfish were very aggressive during the first few days. One of the people staying got a big bite on his hand.

    I’d be tempted to go back to Conrad next year. I’d still be diamond and would get to see what their afternoon tea would be like… but I’m not fussed on them moving the drinks to late evening at the Rangali bar instead of Vilu.

    Always enjoyed this view with some Prosecco.

    So I think I’ll try Baros. Boat transfer is included… so no need to worry about weight, and can use that saving on food/drink at dinner time.

    Has anyone been to Baros yet. Interested to hear their thoughts.

    Standard redemption gone up to 150K per night 🙁

    Thankfully I’d already booked 15 nights. But I’d watched so many vids on the place that I was already thinking about 2027. Though I’ve been gathering snorkel reviews and cross referencing with D2. So might try something else.

    Anyway, These changes to the redemption cost affect the calculation from the previous page by increasing it from £375 to about £450 for B&B per night. This still appears to be good compared to the prices I see on D2. I also see the Conrad’s gone up to 140k for a standard redemption.

    Don’t they still have the free speed boat transfers?

    Yeah. It says it’s included in the price when you click to look at available rooms an a particular date.
