Me and my husband were in Meeru island resort and spa from 16th-18th January on a Jacuzzi water villa.
We still can't understand the logic behind their crazy hygiene policy, "Men can't wear sleeveless tops in dining area, but woman can wear anything". We tried to console ourselves thinking that this could be a law in Maldives island.
But the worst thing is the way they presented it to us. We went to the lunch after checking-in and as soon as we entered to the restaurant a waiter escorted us to a corner along with our soup bowls (yes, me and husband both; don't know what I have to do with this) without even letting us to be seated. Then a supervisor kind of person told my husband this rule and asked him not to wear like that (sleeveless tops) again, He said ok without arguing since he didn't want to get destroy our vacation mood. Finally we were allowed to be seated by the waiter and supervisor. We were thinking / talking about the impolite way they treated to us. Thinking its over we started to have our lunch after the long hectic journey. Then suddenly another lady appeared ( I assume she is also a supervisor) and started to speak to my husband in a very harsh way. She was asking the same thing and my husband still said ok without arguing, but she still continued her mean style of speaking. So it was very embarrassing. Even though we were a couple expecting a luxurious experience, after this we felt like criminals caught by the police.
Water is quite expensive.
Better we had a kit with toothpaste. We can get it only by request.
Apart from that everything was great. Specially chef staff was very nice and food was awesome. The villa we stayed was kind of old but they maintain it well. We enjoyed the island, walking in the shallow sea and diving with wonderful Euro divers staff.
