I've been to LM twice, and visited Lagunamar on the last stay. The pool and beach area at Lagunamar is, IMHO, significantly nicer than at LM, but it is a much larger hotel, so it feels more impersonal, and the food at the one meal I ate there was significantly worse than at LM. I would probably lean toward LM, but there are arguments for both properties.
