Meradhoo Hotels with Bars

Thank you Raffles for another magical stay. We are blessed to be able to visit you after only one years time. The island is lush and beautiful and the surrounding reef even better. No matter where you go in the water there is something to see right in front of your villa; in whatever villa you are in. Even in a foot and a half of water you can just sit there and watch baby reef sharks swimming with schools of fish right in front of you. And whether you are comfortable in the water or not, your butler will accompany you on a snorkel or the resident Marine Biologist, Amadine who can spot all form of marine life during your time in the water and make you absolutely at home on the reef. Not only is the water the source of endless entertainment but the people at the resort are SO amazing, it feels like being part of a wonderful family. Everyone from housekeeping to the entire F and B team to upper management are so kind and cool and fun to hang out with; and how could it be any other way with the handsome resort manager Yoges as the face of Raffles to greet you almost daily and ensure all is fabulous. The restaurants are great, either sitting with your feet in the sand or on the over water island watching all the fish just below you while having your delicious breakfast. Also there is fantastic live music at both options, either a great cover band who takes requests and loves it when you get up and dance to a soulful sunset sax player, just take your pick. Whoever said bigger is better has never been here, this island resort really provides an awesome Maldivian experience. This resort was definitely worth the repeat visit and we look forward to our return. A true jewel in the Indian Ocean!
