Meeru Resort Welcomes You!

This resort located 45 km, approximate about 1 hour away from Velana Airport is really the best! It has the best services, food and staff!

Thanks to my sister that booked the Jacuzzi water villa room so that we can enjoy the beach directly under our room! the feeling where you just jump to the beach right after you wake up was amazing!

While we were staying there, my sister booked the resort together with buffet, so for breakfast, lunch and dinner it’s already included and the good system from Meeru is they put us on the same table everytime so we don’t need to be afraid that we came late to the dining hall and we don’t have any table to eat or so on and they also have the same staff that responsible for each section of the dinning hall, the dining hall is really big btw which means they also serve many foods! many good foods! 😉

On dinner time, they put LED lamp on every table with the same color which is yellow, but because it was dinner time so it’s a bit dark and I got lost so the person in charge of our table-Nasfah asked “what is my fav color?” and he changed the LED light to green so that I won’t get lost again haha

This resort always have somethings to do, some events to see, etc etc they never running out of idea of how to satisfy the customers! awesome 😉 Me and my sister did the free trial breathing exercise for diving, they did it on the swimming pool with the diving gear and when I carry the oxygen tank I swear it was so heavy and I almost fall down carrying it, it was more like the oxygen pulled me away hahaha.

Then, we went to do snorkeling coral reef, they took us on the speed boat maybe about 15 mins away from the resort and we snorkeled on the ocean, we saw a lot of fish! many finding dori around, seems she didn’t get lost this time hahaha but we couldn’t stand on the reef because it is sooo deep.

We also did sunset on yacht and they provide some snacks on the yacht! perfect!

This time we went further away probably 1 hour from the resort, I saw the gradation of blue colors from light blue to darker blue to navy blue! To all the garment boss out there please visit Indian ocean first so that you can adjust your navy blue color of clothes hahaha 😉 because the real navy blue is really beautiful! hahaha during this sunset hunting, we met some dolphins! the dolphins jumped in group, did salto and the staff on the yacht said that dolphins like the noise so me and my sister, also my mom and dad was screaming when we saw one dolphin and we made some noise! hahaha and the dolphins jumped again 😉 I was like don’t worry Ibrahim (one of the staff’s name) screaming is my area of expertise 😉

They also have the buggy or golf car every time. So from our room to dining hall even though it is close but due to some reasons (read: excuses) for example the weather is too hot or I just want to feel like I’m a king 😉 hahaha I always call the buggy pfff….not me calling the buggy but I always asked the staff to call the buggy hahaha

At Meeru we can also go anywhere barefoot haha this is the best! just like at home 😉 because the floor is decorated with sand, it literally everywhere including the dining hall, the staff also barefoot…well, except the buggy’s driver.

It was really a relaxing and refreshing time in Maldives, this place is really 10/10! Btw just FYI, the raining season starts from Feb-July so better not to go on that months and maybe…..just go directly to the resort, unless if you want to see the city 😉 hahaha

As 2018 is about to finish within 24hr, I hope you all doing good, people 😉

Get busy living!

First of all, alert! alert! there is no wifi at Maldives airport everyone! WHATTT!! *shocked! They have free wifi but you need to register with your local number which is of course we don’t buy it so I can’t tell my sister where I will wait for them, the airport is small btw so you can’t be lost unless! you were not waiting on the arrival hall nor on the place where you said you would be 😉 HA! I said to my sister that I will wait them at Starbucks or some cafe shop to have the wifi and so on bbuuuuutttt I was on the lounge 😉 so there was a bit of hide and seek part between me and my sister but she was the one that seek me more and me, I’m just hiding under the cold AC with cookies, fruits and wifi from the lounge 😉 haha but long story short, we were able to found each other 😉

And we met the driver that took us to our hotel called h78, the hotel was nice, right in front of the beach. Btw this is not the resort yet, we went to the city called Hulhumale. The receptionist of this hotel is a woman from Nepal. My sister knew that this hotel provide the city tour and we wanted to go there but when we arrived the city tour has finished and we were kind of sad but the woman told us that we can go by ourselves and she gave us the map of where to go and what can we see there. We became enthusiast when we heard her explaining the touristic places. There are parliament building, city garden restaurant, presidential jetty and park, sultan mosque, souvenir shop and fish market and she suggested us to take taxi to the park and then walk around and that’s exactly what we will do!

The taxi driver named Ahmad came and he became our “tour guide” by saying this building is Maldives bank, ministry of foreign affairs building, jetty blablabla. But during the way to our Presidential Park, he suddenly stopped in the middle of the road, take a bottle of water, get out of the taxi to the sidewalk, rinse his mouth and came back. We were confused if he is fasting or what but yeah nobody knows what is going on with him….. Anyway we arrived to the one that called “park”. I was like…this doesn’t seems like a presidential park and I said that we want to go to the presidential park and he said “oh this presidential park is behind the mosque” and he dropped us there. Before we got off he asked how long we will be here and I said maybe 3 hours and he said “No, it’s too long. Everything here is so small only 500m walking distance, 1 hour is enough” I was like hmmmmm this is such different energy from the receptionist and the driver.

And here is the Presidential Park, they have the what so called “Fountain Bridge” which is…. See it by yourselves people 😉 the fountain was just like this and this height, doesn’t go any higher and the lights are blue, green and red ahahaha

They have a unique swing and a man-made tree.

Then this is the Sultan Mosque, Jetty and another park which has many birds and the ministry of foreign affairs 😉

The souvenir shops was not appealing at all, because all the shops are darks so we didn’t go there. And the highlight was the so called artificial beach. Our receptionist said many people take pictures of this artificial beach and I was just curious how did they make the artificial beach in the middle of the city? And here it is people! Hahaha

See the sand, the salt water aka beach and then see those rocks act as a border between the artificial beach and the sea and the sea! haha

So…..the winner of this city tour explanations goes to the driver! Hahaha the way the driver explained everything to us was very simple and the way it is. But it is still good that we visited this city, because we got to know the places otherwise we will be curious about how the city will looks like and no wonder why the city tour already finished by the time we arrived there, I mean….there’s not much things to see anyway hahaha 😉

But we got to know that the people that we met in Hulhumale they all are very friendly and helpful and they can speak English! Wohooo so this makes our life easier haha and time goes really slow here #times goes by so slowly, times goes by so slowly lalalalalla by Madonna.

Next day we will go to the resort! To the real Maldives where you will see on google or any other search engine when you type Maldives. THIS BETTER BE GOOD! 😉
