There are just so many great things I can say about the Le Meridien. It was an amazing experience for me. One of the best hotel/resort experiences I have had. From the way the staff treats you. I mean, everyone on the island is sooooooo nice. If you pass by them, they make sure to speak and say hello. But let's start from the beginning: when you step foot off the seaplane, there is a welcome committee to welcome you to the island. A part of the welcome committee is the GM of the property. How many places could you identify the GM let alone have him welcoming guests to the resort? They have a welcome reception for new guests where you can meet and speak with all of the high-level staff on the island. During my stay, I had the pleasure of meeting the marketing director Coumba, who was super friendly, approachable, and helpful. I met the executive chef, Chef Muthu, who was great, and when I tell you the food at the Le Meridien is amazing. you will want to eat all day long. But that's ok cause they have a great gym and also different beach activities to help you work off those calories. They even have free yoga and fitness classes. I also met the manager of the Bonvoy program, Alessio, who was so nice, and we got to have several conversations which were great. Also, the buffet resturant manage Supin was sooooo friendly. Made sure to speak to me every morning when I was there for breakfast. So many others to name whose names I don't have, unfortunately. But when I tell you their staff is amazing from the top down. Top tier service. The resort itself is amazing. I stayed in an overwater villa with a pool. It was fabulous; the views on the entire island are breathtaking. There are several different restaurants where you can get a different type of cuisine each day. I could keep going, but if you are wondering which resort to pick, you will not go wrong with this choice. Read less

It was one of the best birthday trips ever! I can’t thank everyone enough for making it so special. Thank you as well to Abby, who arranged everything so perfectly before our arrival and ensured everything was seamless from the planning stage all the way until we arrived. A heartfelt thank you to Maadh and the entire At Your Service team for always being so kind, welcoming, and attentive. The Spa experience was absolutely wonderful. Having our treatment with the glass-bottom view was incredible, and we were even lucky enough to spot an octopus during the session! 🐙 A special thank you to Risma and Khan for such a relaxing and memorable experience. The highlight of our trip was definitely the food. We had the Tabemasu Teppanyaki experience for my birthday, and everything was absolutely flawless. Thank you to Chef Issam for making the evening unforgettable. We also loved the carpaccio at Riviera, and the fresh, crunchy salads at breakfast were amazing every single day, and amazing steak at Velaa Grill. Thank you to the breakfast team; Naseeth, Erma, and Mouch—for the warm hospitality each morning. And thank you, Pratik, for the fantastic drinks!! A special thank you to Abhishek for all the thoughtful surprises and for taking such great care of us throughout our stay. It wasn’t just the little details that made a difference—it was the genuine warmth and care behind everything. Birthdays come and go, but the way you made us feel is something we’ll always remember. These are the kind of memories that stay with you long after the trip is over, and I’ll truly cherish them. If I ever have the chance to come back, I definitely will. Thank you to everyone at Le Meridien! Read less
