Try www.meeru.co.uk for a good forum with plenty of reports and pics. Me and the missus are planning to go to meeru early next year and my bro and his missus are going in August this year so we are waiting on their report before we book. Apparently Meeru is back to normal since the recent events.

Someone mentioned the other day that you get banged up in prison if you happen to have a bible on you when you visit the Maldives? Can't be right can it????

Been to the kuramathi village its probably one of the biggest islands but its just amazing you have to go to believe it.

If you do go try to get one of the woodern huts on land unless you want one of them in the sea ?

Ditto!

Caught it before the price hike when we stayed there on our Honeymoon. We were on the north western side of the Island... God that was a lovely place.

Evening meal, personal waiter.. the food selection was awesome, even for us Veggies! Couple of ICE cold drinks and a wander down to the end of the pier to look at the fishies... take a torch and you can catch the reef sharks hunting

Personally I'd just stay there again... just beautiful. Takes 30 mins to walk (and paddle) around the whole island

Things have changed slightly but in the end I got a good deal and have ended up just booking two weeks in the maldives.... no dubai ! Staying in the Kurumba Village. From what I can read it seems like a newly renovated delux resort.

Stayed at the Kurumba ? If so then please reply with a few opinions and tips for my holiday ?

Many thanks !

Ricky !
