Going over there in a week time. Is it better to change money to usd or maldivian currency?

Doing research, so far shortlisted below. Would be great if anyone can comment/feedback

* Centara Grand Island Resort & Spa Maldives
https://www.centarahotelsresorts.com/centaragrand/cirm/

* Finolhu Maldives
https://www.finolhu.com/offers/#offers-rooms

* Club Med Finolhu Villas
https://www.clubmed.com.sg/r/The-Finolhu-Villas/y

The above 3 seems nice (after checking out Youtube videos) and have all inclusive packages, but don't understand how Club Med can be so much cheaper with flight and transport to resort fare thrown in

Read a review that Club Med not buffet style and the reviewer was upset that needed to wait long for food, not sure if true

Looking at the 2 below too

* Gili Lankanfushi Maldives
https://gili-lankanfushi.com/
- This one looks amazing but unfortunately was ravaged by fire in Jan 2019, rebuilt launching in 1 Dec 2019. Own by Singapore HPL. Hoping after rebuilding, it look as good if not better

* Veligandu Island Resort & Spa
https://www.veligandu.com/
- This one, have seen quite a few reviews of ppl going back for repeated stays

I planning to go in jan.

Current kiv isle
Finolhu water villa club med.

Angsana velavaru water villa

Centara grand water villa

I just think the scoot deal for Oct 2019 is not bad, $220/pax (arrive 5pm Male, come back Sg arrive 5am). Anw they r closing this route soon.

Maldives is really unlike anywhere else in the world.. So calm peaceful and all the sea creatures.

Saw reef sharks, turtles.. Even a rare porcupine ray...
