Absolutely amazing!!

From as soon as we got on the boat that took us to Le Meridien, we could tell that this would be an amazing trip. Service was fantastic - we got a complimentary drink upon arrival, and we got a very brief tour of where things were in the hotel. All the people working at the hotel were eager to stop and chat with you - and the people at the beach hut were absolutely hillarious!! Our room was lovely - we stayed in a beach bungalow and I really recommend this - the lagoon was just a few steps away from our door with turtles swimming right up to the waters edge - we also had our own plunge pool!! The turtles swimming around in the lagoon were so cute - you can't help but smile at them! Food was great - both the buffet and A la carte dinner were fantastic - witht the desserts being a highlight!! (the buffet desserts were amazing and the hot soft chocolate cake at a la carte was the best dessert I've ever had!!) There were many free activities available at the hotel - and the people were also willing to teach me how to wind surf free of charge!! However the highlight of our trip was the shark and ray feeding. Not only did we get to swim with sharks, and touch stingrays, but they also took you to the coral gardens where you see a number of tropical fish!! It doesn't matter if you are afraid of sharks and rays - I have been terrified of them for my whole life, but with everyone else around you it feels very safe and it is an amazing experience. If you are planning to do this activity, I recommend that you do it through Le Meridien, because the people who do the trip are really great - they are so friendly and absolutely hillarious!! Overall our trip was just amazing - and we really recommend the Le Meridien - we don't think it was the most upmarket hotel, however the people and the great feel you got ever since arriving was just wonderful and our room was great. (It is very expensive but worth it!!)
