Which room to book at Le Méridien Beach Plaza
The Deluxe room with a sea view and a balcony. It is 28 square metres, no bigger than the entry Deluxe, but it is the cheapest category the hotel sells with the whole sea in the window and somewhere to sit outside over it. The Design rooms, in the Crystal Towers, have no balcony; the Classics look at the avenue.

Every room they sell
Classic
The entry room: city side, a shower over the bath, and a balcony only by luck. The smallest way in, and the one that misses the point.
22 to 26 m²City
Deluxe, partial sea view, balcony
A balcony and a slice of sea, sometimes at an angle. Ask which way it looks before you take it.
27 to 33 m²Partial sea view
Deluxe, sea view, balconyOur pick

Design
In the Crystal Towers, sea view, a shower and a bidet, but no balcony at all.
28 to 32 m²Sea, Crystal Towers
Premium, partial sea view, balcony
Deluxe-sized, partial view and a balcony; the king version lists a separate shower and bathtub, the twin a shower only.
28 to 32 m²Partial sea view
Superior
The biggest room without a suite name, on the wrong side of the building and without a balcony.
30 to 34 m²CityHigh floor
Junior Suite
Nearly double a Deluxe, sea-facing with a balcony and a separate bath and shower. The sensible upgrade.
48 to 52 m²SeaHigh floor

Why this one
The six room categories below the suites are close in size and far apart in what they face. The Classic, 22 to 26 square metres, and the Superior, 30 to 34 on a high floor, are both city view and neither is sold with a balcony, though some Classics have a small one over the city; they are the rooms that make guests wonder why they came to a beach hotel. The Deluxe splits in two on the hotel's own room cards: a partial-sea-view version of 27 to 33 square metres and a full sea-view version of 28, both with a balcony. The Design room, in the Crystal Towers, is sea view, 28 to 32 square metres, a shower and a bidet, and no balcony. The Premium is Deluxe-sized at 28 to 32 square metres, partial sea view with a balcony; only its king version lists a bathtub as well as a shower. So the Deluxe sea view is the only rung that gives you the full view and the balcony without paying for a suite, and that is the whole argument.
Above it the ladder is about floor area and floor number. The Junior Suite nearly doubles the space at 48 to 52 square metres, sea-facing with a balcony and a separate bath and shower, and is the sensible step if you want a lounge. The Design Suite, 55 to 60 square metres on a high floor, and the Horizon Suite, 56 on the tenth and eleventh floors, add a lounge; the Executive Suite trades the full view for a terrace and 102 square metres; the Presidential is the circular top-floor suite of 110. The order above is by size; check what the gap between rungs is on your dates.
- Ask for
- Ask for a high floor on the sea side, away from Avenue Princesse Grace, and say when you book that the view is the reason for the stay. If you are booking a Deluxe, check that the rate says sea view rather than partial sea view; the two share a name and differ by a few square metres and a great deal of water. Families can ask about the connecting Deluxe and Premium rooms.
- Avoid
- Skip the Classic and the Superior if the sea is the point, because both are city view and neither is sold with a balcony. Skip the Design room if you want to sit outside, because it has no balcony at all. Low floors on the avenue side draw the traffic-noise complaints, and a partial-sea-view Deluxe can be more corner than sea, so do not take it unseen for a night that matters.
Suites against rooms
Two are worth singling out. The Junior Suite is the value step: 48 to 52 square metres, sea view, balcony, separate bath and shower, on a high floor, nearly twice a Deluxe with the same aspect. The Horizon Suite adds a separate living room and a sofa bed at 56 square metres on the tenth and eleventh floors; the hotel's prose calls it 60, the room card says 56. At the top, the Presidential Suite is 110 square metres on the eleventh floor of each Crystal Tower, circular, with a dining table for six, and the hotel connects it to a Design Suite and a Design Room to make a three-bedroom penthouse.
The Executive Suite is the one to read twice. The room card gives 102 square metres, a partial sea view and a terrace with loungers, while the hotel's own suite page describes it as 60 square metres on the top floor, so ask which you are getting before you pay for the larger figure.

Our verdict
Book it for the beach and a sea-view balcony in summer. For any other kind of trip, another hotel in this edit will serve you better.
