Appreciate you sharing that bit of insight about the food plans at Le Meridien! Nobody really spends time to talk about this because the resort itself is more eye-catching to record. But details like this is what will help people plan for a better trip so thank you so much for this!
Thanks for sharing this David! Any chance you can do a breakdown of the seaplane experience next? For example, is it a round trip price? Also how was the Covid testing? Thanks again for the phenomenal information!
Thanks for the question, so sorry I am just now seeing this. The seaplane was a round trip price. I believe it was $240 a person round trip and then we had to pay for any weight over 50 pounds if I remember right. They did do the covid test at the resort. PCR was $120 a person at the time. Hope this helps and isnt too late!
Thanks for this video - we booked for March and your video of the resort and food plan is exactly the type of info we were looking for. Great information !
David, we will be there in a few days. Did you feel restricted in only getting your meals in the 2 restaurants on the plan you got. We are thinking of doing the same plan you did. I look forward in hearing from you. Thanks
Thank you for this informative video about the food. What if we want to eat dinner at the Japanese restaurant for just a night? Can we pay that a la cart? Also, is drinking water complimentary or extra? Thank you
Great question MC. Yes you can go to the japanese restaurant or any of them and pay ala cart. They do charge for water. We told them before going that we were big water drinkers and they stocked up our room with a ton of bottles of it but when not on plan we had to pay, I believe $5 for the water.
@@traveldavid2709 thank you for answering my questions. With $5 a bottle of water, i suppose it would be a steal deal just to go with a meal plan so water will be included. 😝 also, is there a discount on meal plans at the Gold Marriott Bonvoy reward level? Thank you.
Hi David, thank you for sharing! We are going to Le Meridien coming November. Question related to the meal plans. I'm Titanium member so I'm getting 20% discount on F&B but does this apply to both ordering from the menu and to the meal plans? As in, is the meal plan 125 - 20% = 100 dollars? Trying to work out for myself what kind of deal we would take (meal plan or not).
When we went it was only for ordering a la Carte. You may double check if they still offer the discount for titanium, I saw an article recently that implied that was going away.
Thanks for mentioning tips. So important.

Thanks for the feedback!
I watch your videos and I just want to say, I hope there are more good people like you
Wow thank you for the kind words!! Motivates me to get some more out there.
Thank you, David! I'm in the waiting room for our seaplane to the resort and I discovered this just in time.
Just seeing this! Hope you had an amazing time!
Thanks from 🇵🇰. Very helpful set of videos on this resort.
Your video was so helpful! We just got here and used many of your tips. Thank you! You didn’t happen to stay in 203, did you?
Thank you so much for the feedback. I don’t think it was 203.

Thanks for the information. Just want to confirm is about $250 per couple per night.
When we were there if you were platinum or above full board plus, the one we did was $250 a couple…the full all inclusive was 400 a couple.
Did the plan include the special fish and lobster dinner, and BBQ on the beach? Thanks, Really like the video.
@@coasttal123 no to get those you have to have the all inclusive which when we were there was $200 a person if you had platinum or higher status.

Yes that’s correct we couldn’t go to
The Japanese restaurant or the adult pool bar with what we chose.
Thank you so much for the detailed video! Really help a lot when booking our stay XD

@@mcvu4270 it was $5 one time per meal for unlimited. My understanding was the discount was for platinum and above.

Pretty sure that discount is going away or already has
Hi David, thanks for the video. Did you get bonvoy points for purchasing meal plans or only when buying a la carte?
We got them for the plan purchase.
@@traveldavid2709 thanks! we'll be there next year and your videos are super helpful
@@zofluvpink thank you for saying that!
