Neelakanta Pillai Shaji Kumar is a Luggage Coordinator in the Front Office Department who has been with Meeru for 21 years. Shaji had a chat with us regarding his job and interests. Read on.

What do you like most about your job?

I like being able to serve the guests, bringing in luggage that contains important holiday essentials for their most awaited vacation.

What are your hobbies?

I enjoy playing games at Ekuveni (staff recreational facility) such as carom and billiards. I also love watching cricket matches, but most of the time, you will find me watching Hindi movies.

What do you like most about the resort?  

I love that the resort has provided great staff facilities and modern amenities such as the coffee machine to make us comfortable. I also love our guests who make it possible for us to be here.

What do you love to do during your free time?  

Meeru is just a speedboat transfer away from Male’ so I love travelling to the city to meet friends for dinner or coffee once in a while.

What is the secret to being a good luggage coordinator?

I believe the secret to working well is hard work, honesty and dedication to the job.

Furthermore, our Wine Trail will be available shortly where we shall take you on a journey around our resort, introducing you to our different bars while indulging your palate with flavours of some distinct wines and accompanying hors-d’oeuvres. We are also currently redefining our beverage concept for our a la carte restaurant, Asian Wok, by adding more varieties from South East Asia such as wines, beer and spirits.

We cannot thank you enough for your continuous support. Spend your holiday with us and let your Meeru team indulge you. Visit us for your honeymoon, anniversary, a family getaway or even for a simple yet memorable holiday.

Answers To Frequently Asked Questions

As we look forward to welcoming you to Meeru Island Resort & Spa for your upcoming holiday, here are some answers to frequently asked questions to help you prepare adequately for your visit.

Question: Can I reserve a specific villa?

With the vast choice of 284 villas, we understand that you may want to reserve a villa in a specific area or a particular number that holds sentimental value to you, particularly on return visits. Rest assured that we make every effort to accommodate villa requests, but we cannot always guarantee that they will be fulfilled. However, do not hesitate to write to [email protected] with your request.

Question: Which methods of payment are acceptable?

In Meeru, we accept cash in Euros, US Dollars, Pounds, Swiss Francs and Singapore Dollars. We also accept a variety of credit cards (VISA, MasterCard, American Express, Maestro and Union Pay) and debit cards. Payment is only made at check out so guests must charge all purchases to their room. We do not accept traveller or personal cheques.

Question: What is the weather like?

Meeru, like the rest of the Maldives, enjoys warm, tropical climate and balmy temperatures throughout the year. During Monsoon season, the months between May to November, there can be some light, infrequent rain. However, the rain usually doesn’t last long, so be sure to carry sunscreen still.
