Le Meridien Lav

The Le Meridien Lav is the perfect choice when in the Split area. The grounds are nicely kept with lots of vegetation and the hotel is newly renovated. We had a sea view room that had been recently done with a comfortable bed, duvet and pillows. The interior of the new rooms is calming and very nicely done. It matches the overall style of the newly finished common areas. The restaurant and breakfast area is absolutely amazing. Friendly staff and every food item you could possibly wish for to have a good start into the day. The view from the patio is breathtaking. The beach club belonging to the hotel is a trendy, modern place, serving creative and inspiring dishes. As part of this beach club the hotel has a beach section for its guests, proving comfortable sun beds and umbrellas free of charge. The staff is very friendly making sure that you are having a good time and that you feel comfortable at all times.

We had an amazing stay. The hotel met all my expectations and exceeded some for a LeMeridien within Marriott Bonvoy. For the hard product: hotel ground is super nice and clean and airy. The rooms we got were sea facing and updated. Room equipment was really good and the decor was comfy and modern. TV was big (55 inches?). The bathroom was good but the shower needs better water seal. Water leaked everywhere after showering but it was not a big issue. The best part of the hotel is the spa and specially the thermal zone. There were 2 saunas, 2 steam rooms, and hot beds for relaxation. Due to covid, the steam rooms were closed but we still really enjoyed the saunas. The spa reception and locker rooms were nice and clean too. The two beaches were very nice and private. The hotel ground was also beautiful. For the soft product, overall the staff was very nice, professional and helpful. They recognized and gave me my benefits as part of my elite status with Marriott Bonvoy. I was most impressed at the staff working at the pools and beaches. They were so nice and hardworking running up and down providing services to guests and always had a friendly attitude. The Malin+Goetz toiletries were amazing. The food at the restaurant was very good. Breakfast has good spread but quality is ok (8/10). The coffee and tea at the bar were exceptionally good. Unfortunately we had a small incident, which I hope and feel it doesn???t represent the hotel but still want to highlight. It???s regarding enforcing mask policy. The hotel does have mask policy that requires guests to wear masks indoor, which I fully agree and support. However, in reality many guests did not wear masks. During breakfast, my friend, who happened to be a South Asian woman, got picked and reminded about not wearing masks while many other guests did not. When I asked our table waitress about this, she nicely explained to me the rule and that the hotel does remind everyone. However, in our case, as far as I could see and hear, my friend was the only one that get reminded out of at least 15 guests not wearing mask during the 1 hour I spent at breakfast. Again, this was a very small incident to us but maybe the hotel, given that they are part of Marriott International, should be more tactful when they ???play??? with two very hot topics currently: covid, and diversity. I personally gave the hotel the benefit of the doubt and concluded myself that this was an unrelated incident and went on and enjoyed the rest of the stay. At the end, we had a really great time at the hotel and would love to come back.

Le Meridien was by far our favorite hotel during our two week stay in Croatia. Josip Dujela, who checked us in the hotel was very welcoming and informative. He was able to provide us an upgrade as part of our Marriott Convoy Gold member status perk and thanked us for our loyalty to the program. Later, we received a welcome gift of drinks and cookies which we found very thoughtful. The room was exceptional. It was spacious but more importantly, the view of the marina was breathtaking and we loved relaxing on the balcony or on the bed looking out towards the water. The staff who helped with our luggage and room service were also courteous and friendly. We ordered room service once and the food was delicious and arrived fast. The hotel's proximity to the beach and the infinity pool added to the relaxation of our trip. The entire experience was so memorable, it was one of the highlights of our vacation. We were sad to leave but also looking forward to return. Thank you to the staff who made our stay unforgettable.
