“Perfectly positioned”
4 of 5 stars Reviewed 14 January 2012

Just before you enter the city of Split if you are coming via the Coast Road is Le Meridien Lav. If you are coming from the highway it is equally as easy to find. The city hotels in Croatia, in general, are well signposted. The parking is easy and the hotel is worthy of its 5 stars. The lobby is well appointed and the staff very helpful. Even in January with such a small occupancy we felt welcome. The rooms are gracous and unstuffy and well appointed. There are a variety of rates on the internet but don't be afraid to use the internet chat desk for support as they sometimes have even lower rates. The breakfasts were good and if there is something you want like just scrambled egg whites, they will do it for you. The views are magnificent from most areas in the hotel and they boast a wonderful infinity pool which we can 't wait to try in the summer. The spa was fully booked so if you are looking to indulge in treatments then book those in advance (prices are about the same as the US). We will be going back in June of 2012; so watch this space.

Room Tip: Most rooms are good, some have better views than others, I believe most have balconys. One mistake...

“Spectacular hotel !”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed 2 January 2012

I stayed here for 3 nights before headed to Dubrovnik. This property is very beautiful and modern. I was upgraded to a corner suite with an impeccable ocean view! The gym and swimming pool are very well equiped. The restaurants are very high quality. I highly recommend staying here for a few days before you head out to the islands!

“Fantastic hotel”
4 of 5 stars Reviewed 20 December 2011
2
people found this review helpful

We stayed at Le Meridien for 5 days and had a great time. The hotel is gorgeous, especially the pool by the sea. The beach where the hotel is located is a pebble beach, but that didn't seem to bother most people as there were plenty of people in the sea. I preferred to stay by the side of the pool reading and drink cocktails! There are restaurants nearby but they are pretty average and quite overpriced, I would definitely recommend going elsewhere. The main bad thing about the hotel is that it's fairly distant from the town. There is a shuttle bus but it can take quite a long time, especially if there is traffic. Service was ok, we found service generally bad in Split to be honest, most people just seemed rude. One guy selling ice cream even pushed us away with his hand because we took a couple of minutes deciding what flavour we wanted, and there was nobody else waiting!
A couple of small things:
1. We booked a seaview room but we could barely see the sea through a fence from our room. We decided to just let it go so not sure what the hotel staff would do if we had complained.
2. We left the breakfast card out on the door one night as we had an early star and wanted to eat before leaving. The next morning we found the card had not been taken so I called room service who apologised and quickly prepared our breakfast.

“Fantastic food at Lav Meridien”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed 12 December 2011

This summer I have spent few nights in this hotel, with two different groups. The rooms are very spacey and if you are lucky you would get the room to be booked in the block overlooking the port, with beautiful charter yachts right in front of your terrace. Restaurant's buffet is one of the best in Croatia and the service was very good too. It's privilege is to be so near to the city yet so far from the port, thus having possibility for a swim in Podstrana which is a real delight. This hotel is ideal for leisure and business, even in October.

Room Tip: higher floors have fantastic view to Split whereas lower floors give view to small yacht port

Dear Tihi33,

Thank you so much for your kind words and review. We tend to agree with you - we are just the right distancde from the city centre to be able to offer our guest a true five star resort experience - which you will not find in the rest of middle Dalmatia.

Thank you, Igor
