Guest review summary
What guests liked
The in-house restaurant was pretty good and staff provided great service with some even making recommendations and being friendly. (5 reviews)
The breakfast buffet was ample and delicious with a great selection. (4 reviews)
My stay started on the wrong foot when they made me wait 2 plus hours for my room. Then, they placed me in a room directly in front of on-going construction. So, I had to wait again, which further aggravated me.
However, the staff did make it up to me with a room upgrade and breakfast. From there on things were great! The staff were friendly, polite and helpful.
The location was fantastic! Close to everything i.e. restaurants, casinos, attractions, etc.
Thank you Le Meridien staff! I had a great stay and will be coming back!

Hotel is in a great location for site seeing, very accessible to the airport. The rooms were clean and in relatively good condition. My only complaint was that the service was inconsistent.

Great view, small and nice but thought it was a much bigger hotel than it was. Staff was great but for the price I would have rather stayed somewhere else.

Nice pool area. Wish there was a bar pool. So many dining options that were as close as 15 minutes by car. Ubers were never more than $5

We booked this hotel last minute due to a 5 day flight delay by WestJet and the Westin Player Bonita not being able to accommodate the related last minute date changes. We did not have a great view in Le Meridian as construction was in progress however the manager Ruth and front desk staff very welcoming and helpful. The delightful old town was worth a daily uber ride to and while the city centre is very busy the restaurants were good (Gaucho and Les Mecs our favourites and only a 2 min walk away). The hotel had a great view of the fireworks on New Year’s Eve from the roof top. It was very hot and had hoped to sit by pool during some days but the pool is very small and never any loungers available. We could not find the gym so did not use this time. The restaurant had some nice local dishes and cocktails looked good. Staff great and felt safe.

Nice stay near the bay and many restaurants.
Our stay was pleasant. Bed was very comfortable. Shower was hot. The breakfast buffet was ample and delicious. There were several weird design elements including no night lighting in the room, a glass window in the shower that felt unsafe, and a leaky shower door that "flooded" the bathroom. Also no cups for water in the fitness room.

We stayed in a suite, 513. We had breakfast included in our package. The suite is very spacious, offered a great view of the Atlantic. My only reservation is that the fridge could have been stocked with some drinks and snacks as they do in hotels in that class in Mexico

Does not live up to standard... the gym is a joke, suffering swimpool etc
Staff try hard but lacks basic training, coffee for breakfast is terrible.
The positive side are the location, internet was fine and bed was confortable.

My stay was truly enjoyable largely due to the warm and welcoming staff you have at the front desk and working in the dining area. I would specifically like to highlight Thais, Diana, Monica and Ruth. They made recommendations for dinner, responded to my requests for service, addressed me by name and always greeted me with a smile. Several others in the dining area were very accommodating and ready to help with whatever I needed. Keep up the great teamwork!

Great hotel - unpleasant bed experience
Starting from the positive:
- great location
- beautiful hotel
- very spacious room with good decor (bigger than advertised)
- very nice bathroom
Negative:
- the bed didn’t have a normal cotton sheet, but instead a plastic coated sheet that was uncomfortable when sleeping and I am sure it was not the most breathable material. I actually had to call service in the middle of the night to check if someone forgot to place the normal cotton linen sheet, and I was told this was normal

The front desk staff was courteous and helpful. The ambience was dated. The breakfast buffet was unable to keep up demand. My biggest concern was the lack of toilet accessibility. The accessible rooms had one bar in a very bad spot. The lobby restrooms had a better placed bar, no seat covers and stalls not deep enough. I expected more from a Marriott property. Foodserver Marco was excellent!
