Thanks Wu
I will do more homework on those resorts...
I will do more homework on those resorts...
Maldives
- Thread starter starfruit
- Start date
hee.
complex over here. ok ok...try again.
Summary
Holiday tours - SGD6276 (after less 5% and inc tax and hotel at male is hulhule airport hotel which cost about 200usd)
Ala carte - 6245 ( base on 1.67 USD exchange rate and hotel at male is relax inn which about cost 87usd)
Ala carte - 5946 ( base on 1.67 USD exchange rate and hotel at male is relax inn which about cost 87usd)
All of the above includes tax and seaplane. The only thing i am not sure is whether the holiday tours need to add bed tax for the additional 2 nights. If need, it would be 8usd per pax per night. extra 2 nights will need to add 32usd.

Yo Mish,
You're an expert in Calculation liao! Good work
anyway hor, I think Credit card rates need to add another 0.02, that'll be 1.58 at least loh.
Really hope the rate will go down further, say 1.5? Good n Bad for me lah, my US Stock will fetch less but I can save more in Maldives.....Siaz.....
Yo imagesxela,
How many days are u planning to go har? I thot you say at least 4 to 5 Nites right?

Yo Cat,
Hahahahha....... don't faint dont faint.
In short if you book now, direct with Hilton, it shld be around SGD5946!
If you don't book now, you might pay less or even more depends on the USD flutuations! i.e. A 10 cents rise in USD would cos you SGD300 more!
Clear now.. kekek... steady!!

Yo Cat, Mish,
I think shld set aside at least USD200++ per day for food, excursion, spa, etc....for a comfy stay lah.
Hv to budget urself loh. If it's for 7 nites, you'll hv USD1400++ to spread across the 7 nites, so try not to overspent per day basis(USD200++)
Like for me, got 1 day I eat less, fill my stomach with the maggi mee I brought and the free tea break thingy, I accumulated another USD100 for the next day, thus the following I got bigger budget i.e USD300 to spent.... jus an example lah.
Best way is to plan with all the info u hv on hand(i.e the price list, what to do on 1st day till last, hv a rough guide). It looks not very practical at first cos some might argue...go there might do different things, but a rough guide is better than none. i.e. b4 I go, I had only planned 3 dives per person. I stick to it strictly to prevent overspending, and I never dive more than 3 times.
This is how I'd plan, and will still use it for my upcoming trips.
Kekkeke....hope my planning style do works on you folks.
P.S Anyway, this type of planning is for ppl like me, limited budget type. For those with no budget...Aiya...go on and enjoy and spent!
Cheers!

Yo T&P,
YEs..go ahead and email and request all menus
For me I've got mostly the excursion, activities, spa and dive menus + rates.
Zhuzhu went even further, she requested all the food menu/price list from all the restaurant(I think Hilton got at least 7 makan places).
If u think u've got enough coverage from the credit card insurance(and incl. terms like Repatriation etc..).
However normally for me I'll still buy another travel insurance. I "Kia Si" mah...

haha..u not the only one Kia si...me also buy extra travel insurance whenever I'm out of singapore... esp after the 911 incident...haha...
Cat
yo.. like what mish mentioned...if u go during Oct...it's the peak period.. nov-jan is the super peak... feb - mar is peak.. zhuzhu went during the low season...
so guess u must factor in the increase in rates n of course food..etc.
haru
u planning to have a celbration wif friends for one year anni? like zhuzhu mentioned, u can plan the private bbq dinner wif hubby as part of the celebration.. if u wanna go makan wif friends, maybe a seafood dinner?
btw just curious... do u all celebrate just one wedding anni by considering your ROM date as the anni day or the AD date? or best..celebrate both for those ROM n AD on diff dates?

the banyan tree IPO offering fr 0.87-1.07... offering price for IPO is the highest..only after the closing date... then the final price will be out..it's bet the range...
keke... everything also got risk one... but think banyan tree should be worth the risk...I feel personally.

Yo Starstar, Mish,
I long time never buy Singapore stocks liao, and also IPO. Last time still can earn at least 100% in IPO, but now seems like not so good leh.
I think now better don't buy first(really up to u lah) Market is very unpreditable. Unless u got holding power and aiming for long terms, at least 1 ~ 2 years lah. Better don't touch stocks now, not even IPO.
Last nite DOW and NASDAQ "Lau Sai". Probably Singapore stock will also be affected short term wise. I foresee, Banyan Tree stocks would not rise much, might even drop below IPO price.
And also, not much "Resort" stocks out there to let us compare and anlaysis. Or rather we shld treat it as hotel chain lah. Compare with hotel stocks loh!
Disclaimer:- Above is my thinking and very crude anlaysis only har...
Cheers!

yup..read abt the US stocks....keke..
hee..for me, looking at long term investment...not asking for returns so quickly lah...still I'll see how first... anyway, stocks are low now...if we see long term, we may gain..maybe not much...well, it's the risk involved...
haru
u mean the tall brown building opp raffles hospital one is it?

Zhuzhu,
nice album...like the mailbox in the shape of the villa...very cute
had been down with gastric flu these few days...sigh..
Read up on the Banyan Tree prospectus...they're heavily reliant on the Laguna Group based mainly in Phuket..and last yr their overall occupancy rate was below 50% (due to the tsunami i guess)..
think i'm not buying the IPO for now too...adopting a wait and see attitude..oso need some liquidity for my wedding stuff..

Yo Starstar,
Kekekeke....in short, spread ur risk, diversify and don't put all eggs in one basket.
Yo Fanfan,
Get well soon! Err....some time don't even know how to tell it's gastric Flu.. How ah?
Kekeke.... I like your professional terms... Liquidity! Haizz.....I will be "liquided" in order to go for my this very ex upcoming trip Sianx...
Anyway, you mean Banyan Tree have shares in the Laguna group?i.e. Laguna Redang, Laguna Maldives.
Is it another branding of theirs? I've only heard abt their Bintan stake though....

think better not buy BT share yet cos there are a few companys coming up too...wait a while see how it goes before investing.
BT occupancy rate fell only in Phuket but the rest of the properties in seychelles BKK BIN maldives and china not affected..in fact alot of bookings...think occupancy very high..
Erm..dun ask me how I know lar..I got friends in BT...;p
Well..like what star said i no money buy so better save for AD and HM!

yo Wu,

Yo Wu,

You can celebrate both ur ROM & AD leh...
no harm having another day to celebrate ...
Hey Haru
Did i email u the activites list & pricing? Sometimes the activites might be fully booked..if u can, better booked all those activites u wan on the day of arrival...
the cocktail at the undersea restaurant cost US$20 per pax (i think)...its from 11am to 12pm, daily...
I did the hot stone massage..not bad leh..i like the hot hot feeling..

Oh 1 more thing..the sunrise or sunset cruise is everyday..the rest is not..I remember when I went for the sunrise cruise..the guide was telling us that the previous sunset cruise (the one which we missed), had almost 20pax on board...quite crowded...mainly ang mohs...so if u dun wan too many ppl, better go for sunrise cruise...Remember dun wear skirt, cos you would have to take a speedboat and then climb to board a large boat..
