Le Méridien Ra Beach Hotel & Spa

We, as a family with two kids and a small dog, stayed at this lovely hotel for 12 days in July 2025—and we had an absolutely wonderful experience! The breakfast buffet and evening meals were delicious, and having the beach right in front of us was simply brilliant. What truly made our stay special was the outstanding staff: we were given a complimentary upgrade to a larger room, which allowed us to enjoy the property even more. The hotel is perfect for families, and we can highly recommend it! P.S. The rooftop pool is also a highlight—relaxing with a beautiful view. We hope to return soon!

Beautiful beachfront property that has a lot going for it! The rooms have been renovated and are very comfortable, especially the beds. Throughout our stay the staff were great, despite the hotel being quite full, and gave us great recommendations on where to eat and places to visit. The lobby and main bar have also been transformed after the renovation and are just beautiful and imposing (the cocktails are really tasty too!). Breakfast was fresh and with lots of choice and we also really enjoyed the spa. All in all, a very relaxing stay that we’d be happy to repeat

This hotel has so much going for it! Really easy to get to from Barcelona airport, but without all the crowds. Spectacular long sandy beach, great pools, beautiful rooms, fantastic restaurants... and to top it off - some of the best staff and service I have ever had. This team know what they're doing! Such an easy, relaxing, enjoyable stay. I can't wait to go back for more!

After 2 nights in Rome, a 9 day Celebrity Equinox Mediterranean Sea Cruise, we decided to stay at the beach and chose La Meridian Ra. It was a perfect decision. ||As a Marriott Lifetime Titanium Elite member, my husband has stayed in a few Marriott properties. He rated this as one of his top five favorites. From Ricardo who checked us in and spent extra time answering all of our questions to the young staff member who came from all away across the lobby, unasked, to take a pic for us to the DO Restaurant staff who attempted to make my husband a glass of peach iced tea (wasn't Georgia iced tea... but it was good, and the effort was appreciated), the staff was wonderful. That comes from the top. Kudos to management at this hotel. ||The property itself is in a great location and has an interesting history. Our room was spacious, the layout was brilliant, and the view was killer. ||We couldn't have asked for a better three days to rest from our busy prior 11 days and going into our final two days in Barcelona before headed home on a long plane trip. ||My only "suggestion" and no points come off for this... is the towels are a little thin and skimpy and don't do justice to the plush bedding and robes provided as well as the beauty of the spa environment. ||The breakfast buffet was like none I've seen before. If you're a Marriott Elite member, take the breakfast over the points. You'll be glad you did especially considering how pathetic Marriott's Elite point system has become. ||If we ever find ourselves in that regions of Spain again, this is a must stay.

We spent 5 nights in this hotel. At first we were put in a standard room, and the view from the balcony was not very pleasing, then we were moved to a suite. And life immediately sparkled with other colors, and the view of the sea was also pleasing. In general, the hotel is good. The staff is responsive. The bartender in the lobby makes excellent cocktails. The pool on the roof is large. There are enough sun loungers by the sea for everyone. Breakfasts are good. But what impressed me most in the restaurant was the seafood buffet. A large selection, simply excellent. We recommend!

We stayed at this hotel for three nights after spending four days exploring Barcelona, simply looking to unwind by the beach—and it was the perfect spot for that. We visited in late May 2025 and couldn’t have timed it better: the weather was beautiful, and the beach was pleasantly uncrowded. There were plenty of restaurant options within a 10-minute walk, making it easy to enjoy great food without going far. The hotel also offers a kids club on weekends, which is a great option for parents looking to relax, though we didn’t get a chance to try it. We booked a junior suite facing the beach, and the view was absolutely stunning! There were weddings on both Friday and Saturday nights, and we loved being able to enjoy the celebrations and the ocean views right from our window. The hotel itself is very modern and stylish—we absolutely loved it. I only wish we had stayed a few more days before heading home. The staff were all incredibly friendly and welcoming. This hotel truly defines what a five-star experience should be. We will definitely be back!

Recently spent 5 nights at this amazing beach front property. We were looking for something on the Spanish coast and stumbled across Le Meridien in Calafell.|The coast in this area of Spain is beautiful the beach literally goes on for miles. There is a paved boardwalk that is perfect for strolling or leisurely biking. The hotel is situated perfectly so as to take off in either direction and spend hours walking.|There is a rooftop pool that offers a wonderful vantage point for the ocean||The lobby and foyer areas is beautiful and very serene. The restaurant had a wonderful breakfast presentation. Very well done.

Very nice location and very nice staff. But despite the 5 stars and price tag they do not have a system on the beach lounges. They tell you that you don't need to book a place then they say there are no lounges available. At the level of 5 stars and the price that comes with it this is unacceptable for summer holidays. Try to explain to a 10 year old such details.

Pros: The beach is awesome, they had towels and foot showers. Cons: Lots of problems here. Seems very disorganized. Food wasn't great in the hotel for lunch. No hot water in the shower. TV doesn't work. Has an indoor pool but kids aren't allowed. We did enjoy our stay here because it's in a cool beach area with restaurants and not overly touristy. The staff are very friendly here but the management of the hotel doesn't seem to be "on top" of issues.

Amazing hotel - views were unbelievable and the staff was really friendly. The room was really large and the breakfast was amazing as well. I would totally stay here again and recommend it. Such a beautiful property.

Beautiful hotel and wonderful staff. This was our favorite place to stay in Spain. The concierge was very helpful in getting us Renfe tickets and made us feel very welcome. We can not recommend this place enough. Thank you for everything!!

Let me preface this by saying I have never really posted a bad review. I am not a negative person and only want to recognize positive experiences. I would also add that I have been been a Starwood Platinum Preferred Guest for many years. I am always happy with their properties and the people who make my stays enjoyable. I have stayed in over a dozen Le Meridian Hotels around the globe, but unfortunately have to report this was my worst experience dealing with hotel management in all my years of travel. I had a business emergency and had to suddenly leave in the middle of my stay and the property charged me for the rest of the nights on my reservation. I stay over a hundred nights a year and this has never happened to me before. Every property has been flexible when these circumstances arise. I even called the Platinum desk and they pleaded with the hotel director on my behalf. In the end greed overcame customer satisfaction and loyalty. Consequently, I want to make the traveling community aware of Le Meridien Ra management practices. So, fellow SPG members and business travelers, avoid this property at your own peril. Darrin Cooke
