" We went to Meeru on our honeymoon,... "
Submitted By: Mr S Mc Donnell
We went to Meeru on our honeymoon, and right from the start the staff were so friendly, the resort was so clean. We stayed in a land villa and it was cleaned twice daily. The food was really nice and there was a lot to choose from. After planning a wedding for nearly 2 years. it was the best place to relax and unwind, you think you would get bored just lying around doing nothing, but you dont. we done the night fishing and the love boat cruise and they were excellent. We will definatly be back for our anniversary some year.

" What can I say! Unbelievable!... "
Submitted By: Mr L Dewberry
What can I say! Unbelievable! Paradise!
We went to Meeru for our Honeymoon and we are going back there in 2008!
As soon as you arrive by boat (sea plane is now available) which took 45 minutes you soon become drawn into this island. Step off the boat and down the walkway and you hit sand, the reception is sand, restaurant is sand!
The staff are very friendly especially at mealtimes. You do have to share a table with another couple but if you make an arrangement with them you can sort out separate times to eat so if you want a quiet night with your loved one it's easy to do! You get the same couple throughout your stay so even if you do eat your meals together you can share stories of your day! The food was excellent. Totally different everyday from fresh salads to local food. They have chips as well in case the kids are going!
We stayed in a beach Bungalow which had everything you needed, including an outside shower. Don't worry it's surrounded by high walls!
It was also a stones throw to the beach and crystal clear blue warm water!
The excursions are well organised and a must whilst your there. If your adventurous you can even go diving with their own PADI approved diving team.
Can't wait untill we go back soon! A must for any honeymooners!

" Meeru was magical from the flight... "
Submitted By: stonefish
Meeru was magical from the flight landing at Male, the islands looked like jewels in the ocean. The flight was good enough, room on plane even though i was dreading it. Meeru was worth every hour travelling. The speedboat ride approx 1 hour was fine. Approaching the island I first saw the Asian Wok sitting on stilts out on the water, it is a restaurant which is not part of full board or all-inclusive. It is reasonably priced and the food is very good, you can also use it during the day for drinks. The staff open all around the outside and you can sit legs dangling and watch the marine life below - wonderful.
Getting back to our arrival, smiling happy staff met us on the jetty and took us to the kakuni bar for a cold cocktail and a cool mint towel to refresh yourself which was most welcome with the heat and travelling. Staff took our cases and us to our accommodation which was a land villa which I thought was lovely -spacious, clean and 15 yards from the ocean. Before we went I had every intention of upgrading but honestly did not find the need.
We ate in the main restaurant near reception - it was lovely, very big with a palm tree surrounded by water in the middle. Our waiter Ibrahim was very nice, all the waiters were lovely. Food excellent, choice very good.
We mainly used the Dhoni bar - the staff were very attentive, always a smile and a chat, you never sat with an empty glass.
The island itself was lovely about 45 minutes to walk round the whole island at a steady pace. Two different sides to the island; one side is like a mill pond and the snorkelling is brilliant, the beach near the Asian Wok was beautiful, all of it was gorgeous but it was mind blowing truly paradise. The otherside had waves but just has stunning.
The people who work on the island are a credit to Meeru, all so cheerful and curtious.The over the water spa is so lovely and relaxing. My husband and I had the ’His & Hers’ massage - it was wonderful, I would recommend it. Also you get a bottle of Moet to take away with you.
The trips are good and numerous. We saw dolphins on the sunset cruise which I was pleased about. Snorkelling trips to the house reef were very good- 2 hours - 6 dollars - these go twice a day everyday.
Just swimming in the lagoon we saw flying fish, absolutely amazing. Icould go on and on about Meeru - our experience was magical, that good we have already booked to go back March 2009. We are going to renew our wedding vows there -39 years.
I must also say for being one of the larger islands you walk along the beach and sometimes don’t see anyone, don’t know where all the people go. Can’t wait for 2009.

" We went to Meeru on our honeymoon and... "
Submitted By: leeandmags
We went to Meeru on our honeymoon and we stayed in a jacuzzi water villa, which was absolutely fantastic- outdoor jacuzzi which we enjoyed most evenings with a bottle of wine looking up at the stars.
The food was very good, but maybe a little repetitive. There were two other restaurants(not part of AI)- an Asian wok and an old sailing boat moored near the beach-fantastic lobster.
These are also open for cocktails till about 7.30 which was great for watching the beautiful sunsets.
The pool was lovely and never too busy and the waiters were always on hand to refill your glass-the iced coffee is a must.
Can recommend the boat trips, night fishing is fun, and the Robinson Crusoe island was unbelievable. Don’t recommend island hopping-too cramped and rushed.
All in all a great holiday on one of the larger islands, lots to do, lovely weather and beautiful quiet beaches.

" The island was amazing, turquoise sea... "
Submitted By: Miss K J Sidgwick
The island was amazing, turquoise sea and white sand, exactly how it looks in the book.
Every member of staff was so polite and very welcoming. The land villa that we stayed in was so clean and tidy and room service cleaned the room twice daily. It was about 20 steps from beach! Everywhere was peaceful and relaxing just what you need in a place like that.
The restaurants were lovely, we couldn't have asked for better food and there was plenty of choice. We recommend the Dhoni bar the staff were so friendly and funny and very chatty making you feel welcome, overlooking the harbour.
There is a great choice of excursions to go on the Seaplane was excellent flying over lots of other islands.
The overall holiday was brilliant we would definitely go again and have recommended to family and friends.

" We flew from Manchester with... "
Submitted By: Mrs J Stevens
We flew from Manchester with MyTravel. Plane was a A300 so there was a bit of room on there we had seats 44 which were where the configuration goes from a 343 to 242 so we had the leg room for 3 people (if that make sense!) the flight was about two thirds full so most people who were at the back of the plane managed to get a row of 3 to themselves.
MyTravel are really clamping down on luggage and we were charged excess baggage for 4 kilos, which was £24 (£6 per kilo). MyTravel were advising some people to upgrade to premier gold, as it would have been cheaper.
Arrived into Male 10 hours 40 minutes later and it was 32 degrees! Cleared customs and luggage arrived quickly. We then went outside to the cafe. After about 30 minutes they called us and we boarded the boat, (we were later told the reason why we waited 30 minutes is because a couple had their suitcases broken into en-route and they were sorting that out - otherwise we'd have been a bit quicker)
Boat journey was ok we traveled on the Meeru Star, seats were a bit hard and there was a vibrating noise but apart from that it was fine.
Arrived onto Meeru - just as I had remembered it although this time I must admit there was no wow factor but it still felt nice to be here, walked along the jetty and saw 2 sharks and a stingray!
Was taken to Kakuni bar and had the normal peppermint towel and cocktail which was most needed! We were then told all of the Land Villas were full for that night so we were being upgraded to a Jacuzzi Land Villa for one night and we were give room 643.
On arriving in the room we noticed how cramped it felt compare to a normal land villa this was because there was a 4 poster bed in it an extra set of drawers (which are an excellent idea because there isn't much storage space normally) a sofa and a TV! The 'back garden' is out of this world lot of space and nicely presented much better than the normal Land Villas. We didn't unpack as we were moving at 11am the next day (which was a pain because we wanted fully unpack to settle in) We tried the Jacuzzi but it took ages to fill and then we turned it on to warm it up and the whole process took about 1.5 hours…
We ate in the Malaan and was really surprised as to how quiet and peaceful it was, we was allocated Hussain (who was our waiter from last year) and it was nice to sit wherever you wanted rather than being given a table for the full holiday. Meals were fantastic.
The next morning we moved to room 206 - right next to the Asian Wok a perfect location I thought, as you get the sun all day and drinks are only next-door! That night it started to rain........
It rained the next day............ (Wed)
Thurs, Glorious sunshine! We did nothing all day except sit in the sun!
It was crab racing in the Dhoni bar that night winner took 38 cans of beer, which was good as he wasn't all-inclusive.
Mark (Husband) started his open water diver on the Friday cost $691 including all boat hire, which worked out £411. But more on that later....
It was Maldivian night at the Kakuni bar, which was good. I bought a coconut cocktail served in a real coconut - I think it was $5.
Saturday once again glorious sunshine. Once again we didn't do much we had a walk round the island and sat in the sun. That night it was party night in the Dhoni, the music was really loud that night, we walked up to the Uthuru bar and could still hear the music! Wouldn’t have liked to have been someone staying in the low/mid 600's.
Sunday - We walked around the island fully today to have a look if anything had changed since we were there last (Nov 04). Last year we stayed in room 259 and the beach there was lovely, we noticed this year that there is a big step in the sand and a tree which was over the water which we used to sit in and watch sharks was now half way up the beach. You could see that a lot of the 400 rooms and 200 rooms have had new fronts and a couple have had new decking. There was a boat at sea pumping sand onto the beach as a result we noticed the beach has a lot more coral and isn't as nice underfoot.
The next week merged together as we were so relaxed!
We moved rooms once again on Thursday we moved to a Water Villa (room 525), which was one of Shareef’s allocated rooms, he was our room boy last year and he remembered us, which was really nice. He decorated the bed each night in a fantastic pattern and lots of flowers. We were originally told the room should be $130 upgrade per night but they could do it for $100, we bartered a bit and eventually got it for $65 per night. I would definitely recommend this as an upgrade.
On the Saturday (03/12) we went to Diffushi as we had bought children some gifts, we noticed on arriving there was damage caused by the Tsunami, the harbour wall was cracked and the house they used to take you to, and show you a typical Maldivian house was badly damaged. The shop windows looked like they had been damaged as most of them had sheeting over them whereas last year they were glass. The children loved their gifts and their faces lit up when we gave them to them. One boy accepted the toy car and gave me some shells as a swap; they are the most unusual things I have ever seen.
We had his and hers massage in the over the water spa which was fantastic! It cost $140 and was well worth it. Mark was a bit unsure but I would say he enjoyed it the most as it was very relaxing, we were given a lemon flavored water drink on arrival and ginger tea once the treatment had finished we were also given a bottle of Moet which was worth $90 so we got the massage for $50 for the both of us! We took the bottle to the Asian Wok and were given glasses and an ice bucket and we sat on the beach watching the sun go down.
On our return day (Mon 5th) Linda (Airtours Rep) called us to say we has a 3 hour delay but was still being taken to the airport at normal time so we would have 6 hours at airport (nice!) We arrived at the airport at about 12 noon and it was mayhem! When we booked this holiday we were told the flight on the way back was Male – London Gatwick – Manchester which we were fine about. On arrival at Male we were told the flight was stopping in Manchester first which was excellent for us but unfortunate for the London Gatwick people but there is nothing you can do really.
We were then told it wasn’t a MyTravel flight that has been sent out for us it was a Monarch as the MyTravel flight had gone technical. As the Monarch plane was smaller we would have to make a re-fuel stop in Bahrain for about 45 minutes. This was making the Manchester passengers 4 hours later than estimated time of arrival but London Gatwick passengers were due to arrive 7 hours later than they should have.
At this point I must say I was ashamed of some of the London Gatwick passengers and the way they spoke to Linda, it was totally un-called for, their language was disgusting. She was the only rep there and she took the brunt of a full plane full of passengers, she kept apologising (even though it isn’t her fault) but it was just not good enough for some people. What did they expect her to do? Build a 747 there and then?!
We were lucky as we had made friends with Wazeem from the Dhoni bar and it was his day off and he lives in Male, we called him and he met us at the airport and took 10 of us onto Male mainland for a sightseeing tour! It cost $3 total for the Dhoni boat to get there! We visited the big mosque, the fish market, indoor market and outdoor market and then he took us to a traditional Maldivian café, we spent about 3 hours in total on Male and it was fantastic – definitely recommend this, but I’m not too sure how much the Meeru excursion is. Wazeem then took us back to the airport and we only had about an hour and a half to kill before the flight left, MyTravel had organised complimentary drink & food at the airport.
The flight with Monarch home was ok, there were no screens in back of seats but to be fair to them they had lent MyTravel the flight at short notice and I suppose it was whatever they had available at the time. The crew were lovely – couldn’t do enough for you. Food was nice.
The stop in Bahrain was good as you could have a wander round and stretch your legs. Cigarettes were $12 for 400!
Special staff: Saud & Wazeem – Dhoni bar once again excellent
Shareef – Water Villa Room boy
Building Work:
They are converting the last remaining land villas to Jacuzzi land villas (low 600’s) didn’t really notice it to be honest, mainly hand tools being used and it is screened off.
Farivalhu restaurant – ½ of it is screened off as it is being updated – no disturbance at all, didn’t hear anything from it.
Something is going on behind the 400’s/high 200’s in the owner’s house; I think it maybe a pool being added as a waiter said it was. Could hear a bit of noise but nothing too bad.
All Inclusive v Full Board – We went Full Board this time (Breakfast, Lunch and Dinner) as we thought this suited us the best. Had we have gone AI the upgrade was £784 for the two of us for two weeks. We drank what we wanted when we wanted and didn’t think ‘oh we cannot have that because were not all-inclusive’ our bill for drinks at the end of the holiday was £324. In my opinion I was better going full board but not everyone is the same.
Diving – Husband did his Open Water Diver which his raves about! He visited the wreck, Chicken Island and also Manta Point. He said the Mantas were breathtaking and he is very glad he did it, apparently the mantas are only there between Oct and April, but they cannot guarantee this. He saw turtles at Chicken Island and saw 100’s of dolphins whilst on the diving boats.
We watched a couple of vowel renewal ceremonies they looked very nice any questions feel free to ask.
Them and us feeling? I didn’t feel this once and I ate at both restaurants.
