Le Meridien Lav

We have just returned from a beautiful stay. The customer service was excellent. People were very friendly and always polite and helpful. Room service was superb but the beds were too hard for me personally - I wouldn't recommend a room close to the car park either. The buffet food was very nice and plenty of choice too. The only downside was the fact that you had to pay for your drinks during the evening meal but not at breakfast time (if you are on half board basis). Water surely should always be included?

I stayed in a 40 Euro hostel that had more comfortable beds and pillows. Even functioning on 1 hour of sleep I still couldn't get a good night's rest.The pillows and mattress are flat and lumpy. It is crawling with crying, screaming children. Everything is outrageously overpriced for the mediocre quality. The staff is overwhelmed and overworked and doesn't know how to deliver service. The view and pool is beautiful but I spent most of my time here lost in a giant marble maze of confusion looking for my room or the towel service. The design is a confused mess with no decent signage to tell you where to go. No view or infinity pool is worth the hassle.

We visited the Le Meridien Lav Split during a multi city trip throughout Europe. Check in: When we arrived the check in desk was quite busy. We were advised this was because the hotel was at capacity. The check in process was quite easy and smooth. It was a bit of a lengthy process only because the staff have quite a bit to explain as the hotel grounds are enormous. I appreciated the help the check in desk gave us in regards to where things were located. Room: We had a spacious king room overlooking the marina. It was quite a bit dated, but looking at other reviews, it seems like the resort is due for a renovation soon? We had both a shower and a bathtub in our room which was nice, however due to the way the shower floor is positioned, it leaked everyday. I really hope this is fixed if there is a renovation happening. I loved the traditional Malin and Goetz toiletries that Le Meridien provided. Grounds: Wow, this hotel is like a little city of its own. It has many amenities that are bound to satisfy all of its clients. There are tennis courts, a beautiful gym, indoor and outdoor pools, spa facilities, many yummy restaurants, among many other facilities. We used the spa for a couples massage and hydrotherapy one day and it was amazing. It was probably one of the best massages either of us have ever had. I loved that the spa had different types of saunas, it had a wonderful steam room and great types of showers. The spa was so serene and definitely a highlight of our trip. The outdoor pool area was also amazing, it had many different depth levels and also a beautiful view of the ocean. The sunsets from the beach/pool area of this hotel are surreal. It was an amazing place to unwind. Restaurants: Conlemani restaurant was wonderful for lunch. The portion sizes were quite large and the food was delicious. I highly recommend the seafood pasta. It was out of this world. We ended up eating twice at Leonis because of the fresh fish. You choose your fish and how you'd like it prepared. It was a pricier restaurant, but the food was phenomenal. We also ate at Gooshter one night and had drinks there as well. The ambiance of the restaurant was amazing as were the drinks. The food was pretty good, but we preferred the previous two restaurants. Overall, we had such a great time at Le Meridien Lav Split. I would recommend this hotel and I wouldn't hesitate to book it again during a future trip to Croatia! Read less
