Le Meridien Al Aqah Beach Resort★★★★★

Beware of hotel’s Bonvoy points and nights policy - generous Titanium treatment

1) the renovated rooms beautiful 2) the room rate in room breakfast for two wonderful 3) the staff at all levels FANTASTIC 4) the drive to from Dubai/mountains atmospheric 5) the Thai restaurant: not going back (I was sick) 6) the Italian restaurant: nothing to write home about but not made sick 7) the seafood place on beach: I’m a turf person but my daughter recommends it 8) hotel gave us a nice Bonvoy titanium upgrade on one of the rooms we booked 9) hotel won’t give me Bonvoy points and nights for all rooms I booked (other than the “primary room) - I”ll post if hotel changes mind

All the a la carte restaurants were of a very high standard. It would be wrong for me to na

The breakfast was terrible - because it was served in an old ballroom without proper ventilation, all of our clothes and hair smelled of cooking and oil afterwards. The uniform for staff should also be updated. The mattresses on sun
