Le Meridien Lav Split

Very spacious room. Clean and comfortable. Comfortable mattress. Two TVs. Sound blockage not great.

great service, and such an amazing place to be

Lovely hotel with comfortable hard bed, clean, spacious and well equiped, as expected from the Bonvoy chain of hotels. Breakfast was marvellous with quality food and plenty of varieties. Loved the mushrooms and the cold cuts. Great view from the restaurant balcony.

Very overpriced and certainly not a five star experience. We stayed for a week in July and were extremely disappointed. I've summarised some key gripes below. It may sound nit-picky, however, for an expensive property marketed as a five star hotel, we were expecting better. Firstly, the photos are arguably misleading. They feature a lot of photos of the Gooshter beach club area, which is lovely. However, this area is tiny relative to the size of the hotel. If you wish to get a spot on one of these sun loungers, you'd better be willing to get up at 7am. The other pool/beach area is furnished with uncomfortable plastic loungers - not a crime but certainly not what you expect from a 5 star hotel. Breakfast was also disappointing. Nothing terrible, but again missing the touches which make it feel 5 star. The space in which to eat breakfast outdoors was very small and despite getting up early we only managed to get a spot on the terrace once in the week. By way of food, there were no fresh juices and no cooked-to-order breakfast menu items. The coffee came from a machine, rather than being freshly made, and a coffee I ordered with alternative milk came lumpy. The rooms were fine, but nothing special. We were in the older wing of the hotel and would certainly recommend a marina room which may be better. The hotel is aging (arguably outdated) and overall a disappointing offering. The location is a significant taxi journey from the centre of Split and taxi scams are rife in the area. A better holiday can be had elsewhere and this hotel is a tired four star at best.

all was great
