We went last October for our honeymoon and really enjoyed it. We specifically picked Le Meridien because of its seclusion. I heard the OWB were smaller than some of the other resorts but could have cared less. We thought ours were cool. The deck is a perfect size if you want to lay out in the sun. You won't be able to have a cocktail party but I think you get my drift. The bathrooms with the elevated sinks were stylish and you will love the huge glass floor. As far as the food go a la carte. The food and service and inexpensive Frech wine were great. The buffet is stupid. I think the pictures of the place tell you all you need to know about the beach and the water. As far as the staff we thought they were great. If you are nice, a little patient the staff will treat you like a queen. My wife and I were enjoying ourselves so much we didn't notice any lack of warmth. Have a pre-lunch drink at the drink hut. The female bartender is a sweetheart. Oh and by the way you only really notice other people at dinner. The place is so spread out eveyone is doing their own thing. Hope this helps.
