Le Méridien Dubai Mina Seyahi is one of several Marriott properties nestled along the sandy white Jumeirah beachfront. I popped over to the Le Méridien after a stay at the neighbouring W Dubai Mina Seyahi.
This was a rather spontaneous stay, as I simply needed a place to stay for the night before moving to other parts of city the following day.

Le Méridien Dubai Mina Seyahi – Booking
You can expect to pay between 46,000–63,000 Marriott Bonvoy points at Le Méridien Dubai Mina Seyahi for a one-night stay.
On the other hand, cash rates hover around 980–1,500 AED ($360–550 CAD) per night between November and April, which is peak season in Dubai. In the summer, rates are much lower, and range between 500–800 AED ($185–295 CAD) per night.
In my case, I booked this property for a reasonable Cash & Points rate of 30,700 Bonvoy points + 460 AED ($168 CAD). The cash component was a much better value than the equivalent amount if I were to have redeemed points in full.
Whenever you make a points redemption, be sure to compare the payment various options available to you, as it may make more sense to do a hybrid payment than to simply pay fully with cash or points.
