Do you have any recommendation about how to tip the butler, housekeepers, buggy transportation in Conrad Maldive? Thank you

[@Firehotbeats803]

In dollars cash straight to them

[@standartenfuhrerhanslanda343]

We are at Conrad Maldives now and it is amazing! Your vlogs helped a ton.

[@TheAwkwardTourists]

That makes us really happy! We love to hear that people found the videos useful in some way. Hope you have a great trip!

[@helenraynor1519]

We have stayed there and returning in October for my birthday. Nice to see the remodel! We are Diamond too and booked 15 nights on points. It’s a great deal for a reward stay!

[@TheAwkwardTourists]

Absolutely! I can't think of a better one for a reward stay!

[@LpoolDogLover]

Thank you for showing us luxury and singing Baby Shark!!

[@TheAwkwardTourists]

Haha, Anytime!

[@stud88100]

Wow, what a resort. Such beautiful views, can't wait to maybe see the sunset from your deck there and more videos from the Maldives

[@TheAwkwardTourists]

Thanks! More to come!

[@FeineStrand]

#Thank you for this. The Bungalow inside Decor and ambience looks so Pretty, my Fiancé sent this so I'm now having 2nd thoughts on the Resorts we were looking at.. Appreciate your Footage, Tips and humor. Btw, they say that "Couples often look alike." Have people ever told you two how similar you look? (not to be taken in a weird, Sibling... type of... way). lol. Thanks! #Hilton #Maldives 💙

[@susanm784]

Looks lovely. I can’t believe how tired you both look. What a journey but totally worth it. Looking forward to the next video. Enjoy.

[@TheAwkwardTourists]

Yeah, It was a struggle that first day for sure, but like you said, totally worth it

[@clemsonsaturn]

Looks awesome! Very interested to see the breakdown video for points and miles (currencies, transfer bonuses, etc.) I'm big into points and miles so I find that really interesting 😀

[@TheAwkwardTourists]

Absolutely! We will be posting this in just a few weeks. Stay tuned!

[@adayinlifewitjay]

Awesome video ! Thank you for sharing this.

Glad you enjoyed it!

[@debraleeperrin6246]

Glad you enjoyed it! We were there last year with our girls and they too had a blast 😁

[@TheAwkwardTourists]

We really did enjoy our time there, Wish we could have stayed longer!

[@BoStark]

When you casually dropping you're also been to Bora Bora. Someone is envious.

[@TheAwkwardTourists]

We are super fortunate to have been able to go to both. We went to Bora Bora on our honeymoon. That trip was some of our first vlogs we put on youtube!

[@shervonj]

I love your video. I am thinking about going to the Maldives.

[@TheAwkwardTourists]

Thanks! You should! It's really beautiful, but a little more on the expensive side

[@ambreenkhan76]

So stunning 🤩 now I really NEED to visit the Maldives 😩

[@TheAwkwardTourists]

It was on our bucketlist for so long, definitely did not dissapoint!

[@windnsea26]

Hi nice video. You mentioned you guys traveled for 48 hours. Did you fly in business or economy? If it was economy how brutal was the travel time? Thank you!

[@TheAwkwardTourists]

We flew the long haul flights on business, but the last 6 hours or so was in economy. Not that bad

[@julianapetitt745]

How much was the sea plane? Just wondering. Looking to book but was considering a resort via speed boat to save $

[@TheAwkwardTourists]

The seaplane was $600 per person

[@julianapetitt745]

@@TheAwkwardTourists thanks!

[@lenadao5148]

[@smartaquarius2021]

Could you please share the total cost and number of days spent in maldives. Thank you

[@TheAwkwardTourists]

Hi, please see our budget breakdown video for the total cost

[@smartaquarius2021]

@@TheAwkwardTourists oh sorry. I missed that. Will check. Thank you so much

[@toopickyGaJa]

Thank you for sharing the video. Does Conrad Hotel provide you with a converter for 110V? what did you bring with you to use your US phone and iPad, and other electric devices?

[@TheAwkwardTourists]

We have a multi country converter and a powerstrip we travel with that has a surge protector. The rooms had USB plugs by the beds to charge your smaller devices

[@АгнесияКорделияЕкатерина]

Это видео напоминает мне о моей поездке на Мальдивы в 2017 году. Хорошее видео.

[@Ducati311]

I watched your Conrad bora bora video and loved it. The hubby and I went to the Conrad in bora bora and thought it was the nicest resort ever. We stayed in an over water bungalow there. We are headed to the Maldives in December. How would you compare the two Conrads? Which did you like better? Room category? Resort?

[@TheAwkwardTourists]

Thanks so much for watching! Conrad Maldives is a stunning resort, but truthfully I think I liked Bora Bora a little bit more. I just love the Polynesian culture and thought the resort was a more manageable size. But that doesn't mean I didn't love Conrad Maldives! We stayed in a sunset villa with pool

[@Ducati311]

@@TheAwkwardTourists I'm torn of whether to do the Conrad or an all inclusive. I'm thinking I will still have to pay thousands of dollars even if I use p points at the Conrad.

[@TheAwkwardTourists]

@@Ducati311 Conrad is expensive, but you can do it surprisingly cheap. Stay tuned for our budget video that will be out in a few weeks. We paid the room rate with credit card points, and breakfast was included. So it is possible to do it without spending an arm or a leg

[@Ducati311]

Ok I will be looking forward to your video

[@gomez4177]

Did you have to ask or notify the hotel when using your drone?

[@TheAwkwardTourists]

We did notify the hotel. On our tv, which gave us a ton on info on the resort, they had a section on flying drones. There is designated drone area my Ufaa restaurant, but we were granted permission to fly at a few more areas since we were making a video. The main concern was privacy for the other guests, they did not want you to fly over other peoples rooms

[@JonKaye]

Were the Maldives different enough from Bora Bora to justify a second super expensive tropical island vacation?

[@TheAwkwardTourists]

We very much enjoyed both, and we travel smart so neither were super expensive. And we wanted to visit both, so that's really all the justification needed to spend our money how we want

[@JonKaye]

@@TheAwkwardTourists Thanks. Love your videos! (I asked because we just got back from a great time in Bora Bora and were enticed by your video.)

[@mauriciodominguez281]

Amazing video! I'm wondering how did you manage the upgrade. Usually, this property says that they don't offer complementary upgrade for Diamond/Gold members for free but you could pay for an upgrade. Did you ask to be upgraded for free or they simply do it without asking? Thanks!

[@TheAwkwardTourists]

We did not ask for an upgrade. We did, However tell them that we were coming and that we had a youtube channel and would be filming, so I don't know if that had anything to do with the upgrade or we just got lucky

[@laurenneves7144]

@@TheAwkwardTourists Hopefully it did! We booked the Sunrise Water Villa and hope we can get an upgrade to the Sunset one that you guys had as it's so beautiful! :') They're definitely getting a lot of reach through you guys! Did you pitch any content/deliverables to provide them with, or did you just mention your channels and say you would be filming during your stay?

[@mauriciodominguez281]

@@laurenneves7144 if you don't mind me asking, when are you traveling? I'm planning for my HM and would love to connect with if you want to share your experience :)

[@laurenneves7144]

@@mauriciodominguez281 Of course! We’re staying there end of July and booked 5 nights on points (5th night is always free). We’ll also be sharing our videos specific to our honeymoon on Adventures of Lauren & Jason after our trip if you’d like to connect :) Although Kelly and Kevin have done an amazing job of showing so much of what we need to know before travelling to the Conrad Maldives! We know that honeymooners get awesome perks at the resort and are hoping to showcase that.

Hello lovely people can you please do a video of you 10 favor places to visit? And why? Thank you

[@TheAwkwardTourists]

Good idea! Maybe we can do that after this series

What a dream

It has been on our bucketlist FOREVER! So thankful that we were able to finally make it happen
