最高の6日間でした。 到着した瞬間から圧倒される景色に迎えられ、スタッフの温かい笑顔で一気に気分が高まりました。 毎朝起きてすぐにシュノーケリングへ。 テーブルサンゴやリーフサンゴ、カラフルな熱帯魚、朝寝坊のエイや朝食中のウミガメなど、海の中は毎日違った表情を見せてくれて、まったく飽きることがありませんでした。 シュノーケリングの後は朝食へ。 スタッフのホスピタリティが素晴らしく、ゆったりと贅沢な時間を過ごせました。 特にNashythさんはとてもキッズフレンドリーで、日本語も堪能。子どもたちがすっかり懐いてしまい、「一緒に日本に連れて帰りたい」と言うほどでした。 子どもたちはキッズクラブも大のお気に入りで、「早く行きたい！」と自分たちでバギーを呼ぶほど。 そこにはいつも笑顔で迎えて… Read more

From the moment we arrived, we were overwhelmed by the breathtaking scenery and warmly welcomed by the staff’s beautiful smiles. It instantly made us excited for the vacation ahead. Every morning, we started the day with snorkeling. The table corals, reef corals, colorful tropical fish, sleepy stingrays, and sea turtles enjoying their breakfast made every swim unforgettable. No matter how many times we went into the ocean, we never got tired of it. After snorkeling, we enjoyed breakfast while relaxing in the peaceful atmosphere. The hospitality from the staff was exceptional throughout our stay. A special thank you to Nashyth, who was incredibly kind to our children and even spoke perfect Japanese. Our kids became so attached to him that they seriously wished they could bring him back to Japan with us. Our children also absolutely loved the Kids Club. They were so excited to go every day that they even ordered the buggy by themselves just to get there faster. At the Kids Club, Torsa and Reesha welcomed everyone with wonderful smiles and took such great care of the children. Thanks to them, our kids wanted to stay there all day, which also gave us time to fully relax and enjoy the resort ourselves. Dinner was also outstanding every night. The paella was especially incredible — we honestly wanted to try every single kind. It’s frustrating that the rating only goes up to 10 points because this resort deserves even more. Without a doubt, this was the best vacation of our lives. Our only concern is that once more people discover how incredible Le Méridien is, it may become too popular and crowded someday Read less

Our stay in the Maldives was truly relaxing and filled with happiness. The surroundings felt like a dream—crystal-clear waters, breathtaking views, and an atmosphere that allowed us to fully unwind and enjoy every moment. From the facilities to the overall service, every detail reflected great care and quality. We would especially like to mention FARY and REESHA from the kids’ club. They were incredibly kind, patient, and attentive with children. They spent time playing and interacting with our son, making each day fun and memorable for him. He absolutely loved being with them and looked forward to visiting the kids’ club every day. It was heartwarming to see how much joy they brought him, and it also gave us peace of mind to relax and enjoy our vacation. Overall, this was an amazing experience—not only for us as adults, but also for our child, who created so many happy memories. It was a wonderful family trip, and we would definitely love to come back again. Highly recommended to anyone looking for a perfect getaway. Read less
