Just returned from 2 weeks at Meridien. Went as 2 families, 4 adults and 4 children (10, 10, 8 and 7). After reading negative reviews we went with an open mind and were so pleased with our 14 nights. We stayed in the Dune rooms which were spacious, the linen and towels... more

Great hotel where the staff were all very friendly. Never had a problem getting a sunbed. Only problem was the place was full of poorly mannered Russian whom I am certain never learnt basic manners. Every day we watched them queue for the restuarants at breakfast, lunch &... more

Too Big, to many Russians (Approx 2000 out of 2600), Music to loud from animation team who seem to have to scream and use a whistle continuouslly for the amusement of approx 30 Holiday Makers, ate in the all inclusive 1st night only and then used the Ala Carte for the other 13 nights! DO NOT GO HERE FOR A QUIET HOLIDAY.

This hotel is amazing. I have just got back from a weeks break with my girlfriend and neither of us can speak highly enough of the place, staff or activities. We stayed in one of the dune rooms which were little over a 5 minute walk to the reception. The people who moan... more

Please pay attention to the reviewer who suggested booking room class as all important. If you are away from the main building (and lastminute.de charged extra for this location) you will have to walk back and forth to every meal, activity, or excursion. Also, 500 new rooms... more

My daughter and i are just back from the most fantastic week at the Meridien, and are glad that we ignored the bad reviews. Walking into the lobby is very impressive, and we were allocated to our (wrong - but that was down to the travel agent!) room which was one of the... more

Normally I'm really fussy with holiday's especially the food. Upon arrival at the airport I wasn't too impressed as we were literally in the middle of the desert. Our journey to the hotel was fine and I was immediately pleased once we got into the hotel lobby. The check in... more

Never again! We had no hot water, sometimes water didn't even come out of the tap. We paid 40 Euros for a late check-out and still had no hot water that afternoon and had to travel all the way to Durban, South Africa, without a shower. It was cold; and cold showers would... more

This was the 5th time I had been back to this hotel..... I think that probably says it all! Please, please ignore the bad reviews that some people have written and try it for yourself. The truth! The Hotel is not a 5* hotel as we know it - if it was, you would be paying a... more
