Beautiful and relaxing!
Toronto Feb 1, 2007
The hotel grounds are just stunning, the best we saw after walking up and down the beach. The bali beds, the pools, all in pristine condition. So clean and inviting.
We stayed at the ME from Jan 17-24 and had a wonderful time. The hotel was only at 16% capacity when we checked in. The lobby area is just so gorgeous. This is exactly the type of place that we love to stay at. Very modern. The room was large, clean and beautiful, gorgeous bathrooms. The showers did take a while to warm up. We could hear some noise from the hallways but it didn't really bother us as we were up very early each morning anyways to get down to the beach. We had no problems with the air conditioning. They do only go to 70 but I found it downright chilly at that temp. and found myself turning it up everynight.
The hotel grounds are just stunning, the best we saw after walking up and down the beach. The bali beds, the pools, all in pristine condition. So clean and inviting. The poolside hammocks were so lovely to sit in together in the evenings. It was just such a romantic peaceful getaway. We loved every minute of it and I miss it terribly now that I'm back home. We found the beach wait staff to be wonderful. They seemed to be adding more staff by the day and there was always somebody coming by to ask if we needed anything. The food from the beach grill was so delicious.
We ate at both salt & silk restaurant once as we also had a $100 food credit from the hotel (which they did deduct at the end of our stay with no hassle) We found the restaurants to be 'ok' They were practically empty and at both restaurants our food arrived a little on the coolish side. We complained about a dirty glass and had apologies coming from everyone for the rest of the evening and received our dessert free of charge.
We had a much better time eating at local restaurants around the area though.
There is construction on both sides of the property but I would say it was just a minor annoyance.
This definitely is not a party resort and that is exactly the reason why we loved it so much. It was so romantic, beautiful, and a completely relaxing vacation! We can't wait to go back.
