We stayed here for our dive vacation. Ended up renting a car to get us back and forth from Bananarama Dive Shop each day. Walked the hill back and forth one time and then no more (too steep!).
The condo is very nice with all we needed. Wifi was very strong in the condo and also good at the restaurant. Plenty of bath towels and beach towels were provided. The staff at The Meridian were all wonderful and very helpful. The private beach around the corner from the restaurant is the best reason to stay at the Meridian. Idyllic!! We were hoping to do a lot of snorkeling off the beach, but the water is very shallow, making it difficult to safely swim around the rocks and coral, so we just enjoyed the view from the lounge chairs. There are no umbrellas, but lots of shady spots from all the trees, so no worries if you like to stay out of the sun.
Things to be aware of:
1) There's no way to do laundry except to pay $9 (per load) for the staff to wash stuff for you. So plan for that and it won't be an issue.
2) Mosquitos will eat you alive if you don't have repellent. Just any basic spray will work fine, but don't forget to put it on! This is the case anywhere on the island.
3) We were told not to drink the water from the tap, but there is a filtered water dispenser and refills are easy to get if you run out. However, I drank the tap water a couple of times (forgot) and had no issues.
4) Still a lot of construction going on, but it wasn't really ever disturbing. They work quietly and not even all the time. The view directly from the condo is currently of unfinished grounds and a building in progress. It looks like a fountain is going in right below the balcony of the condo, which will be nice once it's all finished.
