Medhupparu 2009

Medhupparu has not lost any of its charm in the last 12 months.

Since we visited last year improvements have been made to the facilities but little else has changed. The staff are still friendly and many that we have got to know over the four years we have been visiting the island, still remain. The tranquility has not changed and the snorkeling still provides surprises.

However, the credit crunch has left it's mark. The staff numbers have had to be reduced and when we were there the remaining staff were told that further cuts would have to be made.

The island is fully booked up until the end of May but from then on, so far, the bookings are down. Due to this there is talk of closing some of the accommodation and part of the bar and dining room.

Let's hope that we are in a position to return in 2010 and if we do it looks as though our party numbers will be increased.
