I'd say Le Meridien is a good choice for families as well as single travelers or a group of friends. The pool area is crowded w/ kids during the days, so if you value peaceful sunbathing it might not be your choice, though there is plenty of room for everybody. The beach has pebbles, not sand, but below the waterline is very fine sand . The service in the hotel was flawless, very courteous and effective. Restaurants are of course pricey, but hey, it's a five star hotel. Getting a bus to Split is cheap, easy and quick, hotel has also their own bus. Great hotel.
