They should do this with no question. We have found them to be very good at sorting issues.

So rude!!! Spitting into the sea and also just outside of restaurant whilst everyone was eating! John has written this on trip adviser. He isn't the only one. Its a shame. It was my first time to meeru and I thoroughly enjoyed my stay. Everyone was right saying it was paradise. Let's hope this isn't the start of meeru to come Oh yes we have witnessed the spitting by the older Chinese wonen outside the pavilion bar on their way back to their roons. Not what we wanted to see!   Posted: Wed Mar 26, 2014 7:43 pm Tracey gant Joined: 14 Dec 2013 Posts: 17 Do try and get moved.

I do hope things improve for you   Posted: Wed Mar 26, 2014 8:19 pm colfen Joined: 17 Feb 2014 Posts: 22 Definately ask to move....its a hassle but will be well worth it! Let us know how you get on, and I hope you start having a better time! update   Posted: Thu Mar 27, 2014 6:16 am lawrence&anne Joined: 17 Jan 2013 Posts: 11 We have just spoken to our rep and she advised us to bypass reception and speak to a lady called Marlene (I think thats her name). The rep said she was sick of it!. Shes had so many complaints from guests over the last few months. She pratacley begged us to speak to Marlene. This morning we have witnessed a german couple being moved to another part if the island and overheard them say to the nember of staff about the Chinese and noise. I will keep you all updated and thank you for you kind words. Beautiful Island but ruined by other guests. And so many other guests on the island now are complaining about noise and the chinese! wishing we had never come here now!

Another option might be to asked to be moved to another island such as vilamendoo , I have not seen any reviews on trip advisor so far that there is any issues with Chinese guests ?. _________________ Alan & Marian [url=http://www.TickerFactory.com/] [/url]   Posted: Thu Mar 27, 2014 11:19 am rickc Joined: 12 Jan 2010 Posts: 329 Yes. When we were last there I had the pleasure, when enjoying a nice cold beer before lunch, of having a Chinese bloke spitting directly in front of me as I sat down outside the Dhoni Bar. Nice !! Surely something has to happen, especially in the light of the evergrowing evidence of complaints on the island. The lovely rep is on a hiding to nothing on this one.   Posted: Thu Mar 27, 2014 12:06 pm Lee Frankham Joined: 16 Apr 2008 Posts: 394 Location: Ely, Cambridgeshire Unfortunately I cant see this changing. The Brits and Europeans are not going so they need to sell the rooms to someone. I am sure Walter etc, are not happy either but don't see they have much choice. I hate to see this happen to such a lovely place and it concerns me as this might stop us from returning.

Is it fact that the Brits and Europeans are not going, or is that anecdotal? I remember hearing at the repeaters night that that group of visitors is still the dominant one on the island. Having said that, I find that hard to believe. I never thought I would say this, but for the first time we too are now in two minds whether to return. That says a lot I'm afraid.   Posted: Thu Mar 27, 2014 12:30 pm Lee Frankham Joined: 16 Apr 2008 Posts: 394 Location: Ely, Cambridgeshire Depending on time of year I would say it's fact. Last year at one of the repeaters night we were the only repeater on the whole island! I am with you it is the first time in years I am thinking of if I go and not when! _________________ [url=http://www.TickerFactory.com/] [/url]   Posted: Thu Mar 27, 2014 12:54 pm rickc Joined: 12 Jan 2010 Posts: 329 Okay Lee. Plenty of repeaters when we were there in February, when we usually go. Hopefully we will hear more soon from Lawrenceandanne that they have been moved to somewhere suitable.....   Posted: Thu Mar 27, 2014 12:56 pm Lee Frankham Joined: 16 Apr 2008 Posts: 394 Location: Ely, Cambridgeshire That is what I was saying Jan /Feb does not seem to be an issue as it is peak time. Last year we went late June Early July. seems to drop off from march onwards.

I reported after that trip, as have others, how the evening activity and entertainment was seriously affected as those 'other visitors' spent most of their evenings back in their rooms. They were there in sufficient numbers such that their absence meant that the bars were often almost empty later in the evening. Starting to look in the direction of Thailand for the future.....

February was my first time. He said that the menu was more geared towards the Chinese this time also. I must admit we have booked next Feb for komandoo live from Meeru Island     Meeru Island Resort Forum Index » Trip Reports You cannot post new topics in this forum You cannot reply to topics in this forum You cannot edit your posts in this forum You cannot delete your posts in this forum You cannot vote in polls in this forum All times are GMT   Page 2 of 3   Goto page Previous  1, 2, 3  Next All Posts1 Day7 Days2 Weeks1 Month3 Months6 Months1 Year Oldest FirstNewest First  Select a forum Meeru Island Resort----------------AnnouncementsGeneral Meeru DiscussionTrip ReportsTrip Reports from anywhere else in the world!Diving and SnorkellingPhotographyFAQLinksSay Hello!"The Lounge"   Powered by phpBB© 2001-2004 phpBB Group Designed by Vjacheslav Trushkin
