Jealous! Have a great time. I love that moment when you arrive in the lounge and it really hits you that your 2nd home awaits.

Its balcony now overlooks a construction site rather than the water.

Prize: 380,000 Hilton points (kindly offered by Splotly )
I have not seen how it looks now after the renovation, but during renovation it didn't look like they will put back in the windows..

Clue: It's a difference not in appearance but in policy.

Never been so just going to guess.. has the 2nd floor has gone more upmarket and has a more formal dress code/no children vibe?

Just Vilu and UFAA doing brekkie. Haven’t bothered with UFAA so far.

Some parts of your guess are right (13, 23+24).....

Looking at the menu at the resort now, it looks like they've stopped doing the Fisherman's BBQ, but still doing the Maldivian Feast (but now on Wednesdays).

Anyone had both and can comment how they're different? I'm a lover of seafood so disappointed that the Fisherman's BBQ isn't happening at the moment, but is the Maldivian Feast full of seafood too?

By Maldivian Feast do you mean Maldivian Night (which used to be on a Monday)? All the beach dinners (Champagne & Lobster, Fisherman's BBQ & Maldivian Night) have a great spread of seafood. I've done them all and I don't think you'll find much difference between them as far as seafood goes. You can check my posts back in the thread for the list of dishes available for all three of these dinners or ask at the reception area for details. They'll give you printouts if you need them. Or you can save paper and just look at them in the folder they have. There are 2 desks between the reception main desk and Rangali Bar. As you walk to Rangali Bar from reception you can see them on the right hand side. The desk on the left is where the F&B Sales Manager sits.

Excellent detective work so far. Almost right.....(23 & 24 are half of the answer)

Most folks in the US are sleeping. Splotly (who's in the UK) isn't guessing because he knows he won't get the answer right and has no chance whatsoever of gifting the points back to himself.

More clues: nothing to do with the chef.....kids (is half of the answer because).....kids are half of a family.....

All wrong so far.

And @babyg_wc, looks like you forgot about the words 'gone' and 'no' in 'no kids'..... If there are no kids how can there be family rooms?
