Le Royal Meridien Beach Resort & Spa

When you visit a hotel and you meet lots of guests who have returned year after year, that pretty much tells you everything you need to know. This is so much more than a luxurious hotel in a fabulous location; it’s a home from home which always strives to exceed expectations, and welcomes you like a cherished member of the family. From the point we let Toni-Rose know we were returning, to the moment Eddy guided us through the check-out process, ensuring that we’d be at the airport in time, everything was just perfect, seamless, friendly, efficient and attentive. All of the staff are amazing, and we were properly spoiled and gone to Heaven. In the Club Tower Lounge, Ranjan never misses a beat. Darjeeling tea, a soft pillow, a table with peacock chairs in Indya … no problem. And one of the nicest people you could ever meet. John made sure we were delighted by all of our dining experiences. The food at the Basserie and at Indya totally hit the mark, and Salli was a constant friendly presence in the Brasserie. Around the pool, Bhim and Salal kept us comfortable and cool. And thanks to Shaik, our suite was always flawless and fully stocked. Even Manjit, the general manager, took time to make us feel special. Finally, a very special mention to our regular butler and man-Friday, Roy, who retired after over 20 years service at the hotel. I’m sure he’ll be missed by everyone who knew him. Can’t wait for our next visit. Read less

Wow , another dreamy pinch me moment after staying at one of my favourite places. Another home in another hotel …Dubai is a fantastic place to visit but what really makes it stand out for me is LRM, it truly is a unique gem. Yes there are other hotels to stay with the glam on the outside but I can tell you true inner beauty- LRM has it! I returned for the 4th time, now normally when considering a holiday, first thing my family and I ( 6 adults) decide is always a new destination let alone the same hotel. However, it is major credit to LRM that I continuously am coming back - 4 years in a row! This is a 10/10 resort and should be ranked number one. What gives this hotel/resort the edge is the standard of service and the most amazing & attentive staff. The service from absolutely everyone was second to none. LRM is unmatched to anywhere else I have stayed. I have visited ranked number one hotels in Abu Dhabi, Dubai and Doha but I can truly say that they can not even match up to the exceptional standard here. I met plenty of friendly guests at the poolside equally full of compliments on LRM being the best in Dubai! The grounds are spacious, beautifully looked after and the scent of the hotels also creates a welcoming vibe . Breakfast every morning was delicious and the lunch buffet is amazing. There are several pools on offer, plenty of sun beds, the nice touch of ice lollies and water and a brilliant atmosphere. Short distance walk from JBR and Marina. Not to forget the shuttle bus to sister hotel Grosevnor house. The private beach is breathtaking and a must visit. Another must visit is the spa another beauty. Love the sports bar at Shades has indoor and outdoor seating and again a great atmosphere. The culinary offering is exceptional. The restaraunts on offer are incredible, amongst Dubai’s best, my favourites are Indya, Maya, Al Khaima and the food buffet at Brasserie 2.0 is also amazing, great food and ambience & quality service . Was also a delayed birthday holiday , again, making me feel special with several birthday cakes whether that be in the restaraunt or my room. A lovely and appreciated gesture. The house keeping team are very kind, keen to deliver gold star standard and impeccable service, remaining faultless! I would like to reserve special thanks to Sajesh and his team at Maya. He never fails to deliver, keeps exceeding our expectations and ensures that not only are we enjoying the tasty Mexican cuisine on offer but ensuring we are also having fun. We always leave with big smiles on our face , plenty of laughter and memories that even today make me smile. Another massive Thankyou to Pinky at Indya she recognises us each time , very warm and friendly , very personable and makes our dining experience always very special. She and the rest of the team make a vast amount of effort to ensure that we are happy. I would like to extend a heartfelt Thankyou and gratitude to Asang, you are fantastic , going above and beyond to ensure that my family and I have a wonderful stay and made to feel special. You are a real diamond in the crown. You really care about your guests and this showed when my nightmare of a travel journey that nearly ruined my holiday ( 2 days of no sleep and stuck in multiple airports) you made it your personal goal to ensure that nightmare remained a distant memory. One of the reasons we always consider another stay is due to her exceptional service , continued care and treating us like family. Thankyou again for your fabulous hospitality. Beautiful resort, luxurious dining options, pool vibes , faultless service and unparalleled experience - I can’t recommend it highly enough. Priceless memories and unforgettable experiences that I have received at LRM both individually and with my family . It fails to disappoint and their willingness to go above and beyond has always impressed me . We are now considering a fourth time next year for my sister . I am sure if we decide to stay - it will continue to be the best resort to stay in Dubai!! Read less

Amazing - This Hotel ticked all the boxes when I was looking for a hotel to surprise my wife for her 40th Birthday! The hotel was clean, huge, smelled lovely and the staff were outstanding. We were treated like Royalty, it was like living a dream. We had fresh fruit, bottled water, tea coffee, and everything you could think of in our room including a sewing set just in case. The room was cleaned once a day and at 7pm they would knock our door and ask if we wanted another cleaner any of our drinks topped up. It was my wife 40th Birthday and we were surprised with an upgraded room and a cake/chocolate's on her birthday. Also every meal we went to ,they sang happy birthday and gave another cake and a drink. I would personally like to thank Hassan, Khan and Daniel for making our stay the best week of our lives. I would also like to thank every member of staff as everyone was polite and should be proud of themselves for running such a great hotel. We would definitely recommend this hotel and would love to return in the future Read less
