Meduparu: 12.02. 2001 - 24.02. 2011
Two adults and a 7 year old child
They were not going to Medupara at all, they flew simply because they confirmed the availability of places there at the last moment, otherwise the tickets were already lost, because they wanted to go to hotels that are popular with foreigners, where they don’t really want to let Russians in. And this despite the fact that they attended to more than 2 months!
And we didn’t regret it for a MINUTE, and a month later we only regret that it was all over… Despite the fact that there is something to compare with: Diva Resort (ex-White Sands) and Kuramati (ex-Village after repair and merger).
In order.
The total cost of pleasure with a flight from Moscow by Qatar Airlines (QA), ALL meals with alcohol and accommodation in a land bungalow (there are only two types: on land and on water) amounted to 26.000. 00 rubles.
QR0867+QR0380 flew there with a 50-minute connection in Doha. The de-icer in Domodedovo was delayed for 1 hour, respectively, arrived in Doha in 5 minutes. before the departure of the connecting flight.
And the time is midnight! We were very worried. They ran into the airport, and there already kind, specially trained people were shouting out the names of the countries where the passengers were supposed to have transfers. There were three more people in the Maldives besides us. And then just a fairy tale: QR took all the risks - they made visas to Qatar, placed in a 4 * hotel (by our standards, obviously 5 *, and we were given a double and a single room - after all, we are with a child) with a pool and breakfast, all transfers to city / from the city, tickets for the morning flight to Male, free international call and care, care and care! The QR staff didn't mess around while we were flying! Deep respect, it is not in vain that in recent years we have been flying where only QR is possible. To present such a service at Aeroflot requires a remarkable imagination
The host in Male is also respect (TEZ TOUR)!
They waited from the night, sympathized, said that the hotel was also worried and waiting, in general, a solid “normal human attitude”, so rare in our latitudes, and therefore so dear and pleasant to the heart. Further transfer to the hydro, and finally accommodation to Medupara.
I’ll tell you right away about the contingent: Germans, Italians, British and Russians equally, a little bit of French, Japanese, Czechs. Seniors, couples with children, newlyweds. Lonely were two Italians, a cute Italian hipster with dad Berlusconi and a loud-speaking (as usual ) Russian. As a percentage of the number of people (about 300 houses! ) this is nothing.
For those who do not know: the island is surrounded by a dam from the south and west (bags of sand and cement laid in the form of brickwork and concreted, about 1.5m high, a reconciliation footpath 1.5 wide). So, of course, the houses next to the dam are not very good.
They themselves are ordinary, but when you get to the island you expect that you have a beach and a boundless ocean in front of you. But here it is not: a limited beach of 20m, then a puddle of water flowing through the dam - a little blooming, which does not prevent tropical fish even quite large from being found in it, and the dam itself, along which walkers are constantly flanking. . So, those who do not declare at the time of registration the desire not to live on the dam in any case, they go there. And since nobody likes Russians anywhere, these are the first. Therefore, being savvy, we immediately discussed this issue when we saw the number on the key 286! ONLY NOT A DAMBLE! ! ! And we were immediately politely explained that the big departure was in 2 days and then immediately somewhere better. But we moved the next day at 10 am! Thanks to the hotel. And not just anywhere, but at 140, where, on the contrary, the best swimming, the smallest current and the best snorkel. And the neighbors are English and Italians!
I also recommend it because on the one hand there are houses (and houses for two families are located in groups of 6 pieces in the form of horseshoes, and each horseshoe is fenced off with greenery from the next one), and on the other - greenery separating from the neighboring group. So extra privacy is guaranteed.
The room is very comfortable, not rich, in the open-air shower there is neither a mini-garden nor a bath - if it matters to someone, the floor is wooden flooring knocked down, so the dampness dries quickly. Russian-language channel on plasma, telephone, kettle, thermos, tea accessories. The mattress is excellent, the child is a failed folding bed - but the children in the fresh air do not care.
But imagine: in the early morning you can turn off the air conditioner, open the doors, reminiscent of the old colonial style with their whiteness and glazing, and then, lying on the bed under six-meter ceilings, reflected in the polished black plank floor, at the moments when the breeze opens heavy green and blue curtains through flair of thin white curtains You see the veranda, herons on it, snow-white sand and the same boundless ocean - for the sake of which all this was started! Already breathtaking! ! ! Cleaning becomes high-quality and goes unnoticed by you 2 times a day with an elegant spreading of bed linen after a small subsidy of $ 1. But you can not give anything, just try not to drag sand into the house, for this a vat of water is provided at the entrance. By the way, the living creatures are cool: big and small herons, chickens, roosters, crows, flying foxes (very funny and photogenic), geckos.
As for the ocean, I worried a little all the time, the house reef is very close. The child independently swam these 50 meters. Maybe from the shore. Or you can go down from the pier and dive or snorkel along the reef wall from the outside, which is much more interesting. The tides and tides are highly dependent on the phases of the moon. At low tide, the water went exactly 5 meters from the shore, and part of the fish settlements turned out to be within reach at the knee-deep entrance. There are no sharks at all. There are turtles. Stingrays. Well, like everywhere else. You have to swim to the manti. Were fishing in the ocean - we saw a huge number of dolphins! Awesome - I recommend it. By the way, for the sake of the beauty of the sky / sun / dolphins - morning, and in order to catch something - evening. If we are already talking about the ocean - diving is a must. So far, the Russian-speaking instructor Yura is still working there. If you have never dived, after his training you will only think about how to go to the ocean, and if you are already an experienced diver, then you will have a great time.
In general, an extremely comfortable person, so don’t take it for work, take him a good raw smoked sausage with greetings from Olga and Gregory. So at one time we fed him herrings and black Borodino bread after reading someone's review, which caused great joy and were ourselves positive from our so unconventional approach . A good dive center, cheap in the Maldives does not happen anywhere, unkilled equipment, a lot of things, an individual approach. In short, you must dive in!
Yes, food. In the main restaurant, for me - a solid 4. Those who are picky about soups will have to fall in love with their purely European versions - mashed potatoes, with vegetables there, and so on. , borscht and pea do not expect. There is no excess of fruit, but papaya and watermelon / melon are very fresh. It was always possible to find a variety of fish / meat + side dishes for the child during the day. Paste. A lot of all kinds of seasonings, options for olive oil, etc.
butter, toppings, so you can make yourself the most delicious salad on the basis of tomatoes / cucumbers / leaves, which is what the Italians usually did. Paradoxically, the fish is cooked uninterestingly, all fresh, despite the seasonings. Crabs are rubbish, gastronomy is rubbish by our standards, but desserts are beyond praise. And really ice cream level Baskin Robbins in the range. Lunch/Dinner with alcoholic drinks beer/wine. There are no frets. You will be assigned a specific table and a waiter, who can be stimulated immediately with $ 1 and he will quickly come up when you appear in a restaurant. It is better not to be late, as there are a lot of people and a decent crowd. But everyone is very polite, especially if you stay away from your compatriots. In addition to this point, there is a grill bar on the beach (very nicely decorated in the form of separate tents with white panels fluttering in the wind!
), a bar on the beach and another eatery with billiards and a mini cinema.
From entertainment: walking and watching crabs on the dam, well, of course, all kinds of excursions, beach volleyball, hanging out in the pool (naturally, the bar is built into it ), table tennis, there is a gym - we didn’t go, although in Moscow we do it all the time , not drawn , walking around all the bars of the island during the day, a disco on Friday evening, watching the feeding of fish and turtles at 21.30, and all sorts of hang-ups in the main bar, where there are themed evenings such as crab races for money (but even without them it’s good - a very pleasant atmosphere and arrangement of the bar itself, it's a nice thing to sit with a coffee / cocktail and a cigar in a light breeze, and if you're in a pleasant company - it's a miracle! ).
Sri Lankan Jewelery Shop - Bargain! ! !
Souvenir shops - the price is the same as at Male airport. There's even a wider selection.
So decide, buy here - it's easier to pack a suitcase .
Another important thing: every day there are discounts in one or another store, up to 25%. And to be honest, it’s not that the price was raised first, and then they made a discount. So keep track.
Well, of course SPA. But that's a completely different story.
Hi again Maya. She is a miracle. Also a Russian-speaking employee. But it's just a miracle. Very sweet.
The flight back early in the morning was organized without a hitch.
We flew QR0381+QR0866. Docking in Doha 30 min. QR in advance in Male do Rapid Transfer, wrap all the luggage with orange ribbons in order to put it at the entrance to the luggage compartment. And while we were just descending the ladder in Doha, our luggage was already in a local UAZ driving across the field to the other side. And in the airport hall, a specially trained person ran towards us, shouting for a flight to help us go through the Short transfer procedure. It’s a pity, of course, they didn’t get into Duty, but these are costs ...
And here is Russia, gray - the trend of the season, Domodedovo hell ...I cried, tears flowed straight, my daughter was worried, but my husband’s soul was also apparently out of place - I didn’t ask anything about the reason for the tears, and so I understood everything ...
Go - you will not regret the money, effort and time spent on the flight, just be polite and friendly and relaxed, and Meduparu will pay you back in the same hundredfold!
