Le Meridien Mina Seyahi Beach Resort & Marina

Stayed at Le Meridien Mina Seyahi in August for 13 days with my family. I hadn’t stayed in a Le Meridien hotel before, however my mom and sister had and gave great reviews of these hotels. I chose this hotel due to the location being near the marina which is approx a 10 minute walk, so a short distance away. The hotel is beautiful, great facilities, very welcoming, what i loved about it was that it joined the Westin Hotel which is next door therefore you can use all of their facilities and pool area. The hotel very clean, spacious inside and out, pool areas were very clean, great sun loungers, the bar staff and pool waiters are very friendly and work so hard, very polite and every morning got a lovely welcome from towel cabin staff, who memorised our room number and asked how we were each day. It is this kind of service that you remember and makes it more of a memorable experience. We hired the pool cabanas twice and a beach cabana also which was a nice relaxing bed for the day for my family to use and chill on. Highly recommend and you get great waiter service with these. The beach was spotlessly clean with great beds to chill on if you wanted it quieter. The room was a deluxe skyline room, it was huge, very clean, lovely interior design room, very comfortable beds, nice linen, the cleaner was so pleasant and brought us fruit and flowers in the room. The room was cleaned thoroughly. It was these little touches that make a difference. The restaurants i cannot comment on apart from Spice Thai Restaurant next door in Westin, amazing food and amazing service, well worth a visit. The hotel does a happy hour on drinks from 4-8pm which is handy to know, we would go to the outside pool bar at 5pm each evening and the staff knew our drinks and would even cool my wine glass for me after i told them the wine wasn’t that cold, i questioned them on glasses and told them they need to chill in freezer so each evening they did that for me, another great service from staff. There is a beach club you can go to Barasti Beach Club it looks lovely, we didn’t go due to having teenage children but for couples it’s worth a visit as it is free. The only recommendation i could give would be some entertainment apart from Barasti bar on an evening which we did go to a couple of nights, which was fine but feel there needs to be other bars with music playing. We sat outside in the bar outside hotel lobby on an evening but had no music playing so was very quiet. We would go out on an evening to the Marina for meals out we would get a taxi and then walk back some evenings we would go to JBR Walk and again eat out in their restaurants. Recommend McGettigans Irish bar at Jumeirah Beach Walk on a Monday they do 2 for 1 on main meals and a happy hour on each night until 8pm. Cargo Restaurant at the Marina is a great eatery and bar, Asian inspired food, great staff with a smile. Overall we loved the hotel and was very pleased with my choice and location, we have stayed on the Palm previously which is very nice but i prefer this location due to being close to the Marina and JBR Walk just feel there is more to do on an evening, therefore i would not hesitate to stay at this hotel again due to the location and it being a very nice hotel with great facilities and very friendly staff.

Nice and good size hotel. Fast check in and great tranfert to the airport with an helpful and professional concierge. Great gym, beach and pool. However the lounge doesn't worth the extra money because the choice is limited and almost the same every day and the service is horrible! I went to the JW Marriott as well and the service was much much better from start to end. If you are used to real 5 stars hotels I don't recommend this one! Read less

Arrived at this hotel at 7am and they could not have done anymore for us. Saw that we were tired from travelling and did all they could to get our room and they did! Beautiful room so much space, 2 showers and a bathtub. Lovely grounds and pool areas. We could also use the facilities of the hotel next door The Westin which was great. Friendly staff so welcoming and polite. Well done had a great stay Read less
