This was just a one night trip, but Le Meridien gave a fantastic package inclusive of breakfast and dinner buffet and late checkout at 5pm the next day. Children were happy as it meant longer poolside hours and parents enjoyed the delicious buffet spread at the cafe. Later in the evening, checkout and back on the train to get home.
