My wife and myself have stayed at numerous 5* hotels throughout the world, and yet we chose to both get married at the Phoenicia and stay there for our honeymoon period of 3 weeks. It was a small wedding of 30 people. We booked the wedding and accomodation for our guests and us in 2005 direct with the hotel and I can honestly say that it was the easiest wedding I have ever known booked. The hotel arranged everything from the registrar to the sit down meal to the most minute detail we would never have thought of.

The location of the Phoenicia was excellent for visiting the city and yet getting around the island. Don't be put off that the hotel is so close to the bus station, it can't be heard from the hotel and the views are something else.

Le Meridien Phoenicia reflected much of the finest aspects of the opulent past whilst still providing modern and excellent amenities. The room was excellent and efficiently serviced, the restaurant excellent, and the cocktail bar with its highly professional staff was a delight! The pool and pool bar which are reached through a beautiful sub-tropical garden were a very pleasant place to relax. Finally the central lounge with its Palms and Art-deco atmosphere transported us back in time in the best possible way! Overall standards were high- I can only give my highest recommendation for those who want a quiet relaxing time.
