With a little elephant visiting the hotel twice a day eliciting coos and upping the cuteness factor, Le Meridien is ideal for families looking for a larger resort geel. One of the few resorts on the island with a private beach, it’s far enough away from the chaos of Patong to feel like you’re making an escape, but only a short taxi or tuk-tuk ride into town when the mood to explore strikes. Rooms have been upgraded and we recommend the deluxe garden and pool view rooms which offer excellent value. The Resort offers two outdoor oversized swimming pools that provide amazing sea views, lush gardens, a free-form pool, a kids' water fountain, and a shaded kids' pool.
