The Pools, Staff, food and complimentary offers

The Beach wasn’t ideal for swimming etc.

We had a brilliant time at Le Meridien for our honeymoon. We were there for 12 nights and barely left the premises. The hotel is stunning, particularly the lobby, and right on the beach facing the sunset. All rooms have a sea view and are spacious and contain everything you need. We arrived very early before check-in but were well looked after and they worked hard to give us access to the room several hours early. With four restaurants on site, there is plenty of choice and the food is generally very good. The breakfast buffet has endless choice and, as a coeliac (who can't eat gluten), buffets are notoriously tricky and inevitably some food won't be labelled properly. The help I got from the team there, and in particular Avish, was amazing - I was offered gluten free food made and prepared separately every morning, from pancakes to bacon/sausages to cereal. There were plenty of gluten free options at all of the restaurants. Our favourite restaurant was comfortably Waves. Excellent fish and seafood dishes only a few steps from the beach. The service from Nalini and Kelvin in particular was outstanding and you are truly made to feel like you are getting special treatment. The facilities are great - we went to the spa and played tennis, and there is a gym although we didn't make it there. The pool bar is well run by the always positive and helpful Hevin. The evening entertainment is fun and lively. Overall a fantastic experience.

Overall we had a brilliant time and thoroughly enjoyed our stay, so these points are very minor. The shower was a bit run down and we had a leak (connected to the shower) in our ceiling. Though they attempted to fix this quickly, they needed to come back a second time. The wine tasting was a let down. It was all a bit awkward and the information we were given was quite basic. Some of the more junior members of staff can be error prone but the more senior staff will quickly fix things!

The view

Toilet was stinking at night...bad drains. Overpriced food for quality Have been waiting more than 1 hr after regular check in time to be taken to room. Room was ready and i had to personally go to counter to ask to be taken to a room that was already ready
