John and Bev,

To clarify - maybe.

Once upon a time, in the land of Oz.....sorry, wrong story.

Once upon a time the main resort out there was La (Le?) Meridian. LaDomaine and L'Habitation were also there but possibly at the top of the hill and Meridian was at sea level. It had an incredible check-in area and was quite lovely but very remote at the time, there being almost nothing else up that hill and in that area.

A few years ago L' Meridian became the Radisson Bleu or perhaps, just the Radisson to most Americans, and again, this was the beach level property.

Just a couple of years later it became the RIU AI resort. It is at their gatehouse where you need to hang a left and head on to the Restaurant at Anse Marcel, for want of a better name to call it.

It's a very pleasant place to spend a day and to the best of my information, it is a totally independent property with no connection to RIU. <img src="http://www.traveltalkonline.com/forums/images/graemlins/handshake.gif" alt="" /> <img src="http://www.traveltalkonline.com/forums/images/graemlins/handshake.gif" alt="" />
