Meerufenfushi, Maldives

Meeru Island Resort, Meerufenfushi, North Male' Atoll
Overall, not a bad place for the price. The diving is very good and the Swiss-run Ocean Pro dive center is excellent. Most people seem to like the resort, but I found this review pretty much on the mark: tripadvisor.com review
