  • It seems like the Maldives is every other person’s dream vacation, so we wanted to experience the white sands and turquoise waters of the country for ourselves. After saving up a boatload of credit card points, we were able to make our trip to the Maldives far more affordable. Through Marriott’s five-night-free credit card offer, we reserved the most standard room at the resort, but upon arrival, we were surprised with an unexpected upgrade to their sunrise overwater villa. Join us as we begin our exciting trip in the Maldives and share a full tour of Marriott’s Le Meridien overwater villa. 🇲🇻

    Our 17th country is the MALDIVES (!!!!!) 🇲🇻🥳 When Chad found out that Marriott had a resort in the Maldives, we KNEW we had to use our points there, and we are so happy to say that our points most certainly didn’t go to waste! 😁 This was by far the nicest (and would have been priciest, if it wasn’t for the points) trip we’ve ever taken, and we cherished every single second of it. 🌴🐚 Stay tuned for some adventurous footage in next week’s video, as we check off some first time experiences in the Indian Ocean! 🐬 See you next week! 🥰

      If you don’t mind sharing how much Marriott Bonvoy points did you used on your stay ? I also have Marriott points. Thank you.

      @@veramakayan5914 the best deal ever was 30K/night and we stayed there 2 times , 5 days each time (last time in Sep 2022). Hotel is fantastic, 2.5 years old but both times I got some kind of rush towards end of the stay. They said that there are some sand fleas that apparently can bite you and cause pain. This is the only place in the world where I got this. I've been 4 times to Maldives and only here I had this issue. Food is really good, everything is amazing but this thing was my biggest problem.

    fun fact about Shazam, he was outselling Superman comics back in the 40s when they started. So DC sued the company who owned him out of business then bought Shazam from it. Comic book companies can kinda be assholes like that. But the character has a really interesting history that's worth looking into if any of that was intriguing to ya

    Did they give you’s a hard time with the drone? Website says strictly prohibited but I don’t want to get in trouble when I go next week but I see many TH-camrs using theirs 😂

      We didnt have a hard time with it, but you might need to verify because perhaps the policy changed.

    Chad sure did a great job of booking the Marriott Resort in the Maldives. Everything looks so tantalizing! When you went in the Indian Ocean to do some scuba diving m, was the vest you were wearing weighted or were they just life preservers?

    • @ChadandClaire
      @ChadandClaire  ปีที่แล้ว +1

      We were wearing weighted belts along with a buoyancy compensator! :D
