The service was a bit disappointing. The checkin was horrible, it took very long and I did not really get a lot of information along with the hotel documents. So I found out most of the stuff the next days. The reception always had long queues and you waited a long time to get a question answered. Also it seemed that staff at the reception always had to call someone to get info or an approval. The hotel definitely looks like it needs some maintenance. For this price, I was disappointed.

In general was a really good experience, our room was nearby the pool ans the restaurant. We couldn't enjoy the A la Carte restaurants for dinner as they were fully booked, we were hiven the lunch option but we didn't take it. The food in the buffet we really good and the variety from lical food to international cuisine. Only issue was the towels in the room, the moment they take it to replace you suffer to get new ones has they only bring it by dinner time, and if you were lucky to get one. I had to call housekeeping 3 times on the same night to get one.

Lovely experience
Lots of positives. The hotel was spotlessly clean. Our bedroom recieved a thorough clean each day and we received fresh towels each day. Lots of food choices including a buffet and several a la carte. We were here 1 week amd had no problems booking a different restaurant each night by going to the booking service at 1030 in the odyssey bar ( next to the piano). Food was excellent. Hotel has several pools and direct access to the beach. No problems getting a sunbed. No mosquitos but bring your spray just in case.

It's a large and well maintained hotel complex on a stretch of excellent beach. We loved the location, the weather of course, lots of wildlife, birds, turtles and butterflies. The staff are mostly young in age and very friendly and helpful. Service in the bars, restaurants and poolside are all very good. The housekeeping for our room often didn't turn up until 6pm and on the last 2 days we were there they didn't turn up at all. This was despite our leaving the 'please clean our room' notice on our door for them to see. I phoned down to reception a couple of times but reception did not answer. That wasn't very good and not what we would expect from a 5-star hotel.

Liked: Room comfort
Not bad but not really worth it.
We arrived a little early to the resort but were told our room would be ready by 3pm. It was almost 4pm by the time it was ready. When we got to the room, we realised that the queen bed was actually a standard double. The person who took us to our room advised us the mini bar would be filled around 5pm. It was never filled. We slept really badly the first few nights with lots of back pain. Eventually, we lifted the mattress to find various support slats were missing. After we reported this to reception, they had it repaired and we slept much better. As we'd paid for The Level, we were advised on our second morning that we could alternate breakfasts at The Level breakfast in our resort and the one next door at melia llana. We did this and it was great, as it's an adults only hotel. Sadly, on our last morning, they had introduced a new vip level, meaning we lost the right to this service. As such, I don't think I'd recommend paying extra for The Level for anyone thinking of going in future. The food offering was very good - better than other all inclusive resorts I've been to. But we weren't advised to book restaurants in advance and, at the peak period of the year that is new year, we were only able to book the new year's eve night (which we did in advance) and one other included dinner. The best thing about the resort is definitely the staff. They obviously really want to help and make sure you're having a good time. They go out of their way to be friendly and helpful.

Nette accommodatie, mooie kamers en receptieruimte. Informatieverstrekking kan echt beter. Bv. onduidelijkheid over bandjes, Level. Level lounge was dicht. Medewerkers zijn service verlenend maar tonen geen betrokkenheid bij de gasten. Bv. bij in-en uitchecken.

On est venus pour une semaine. Malgré avoir averti par mail que nous avions 24h de retard à cause de Air Portugal et que le check in en ligne ne marchait pas sur l'application, nous avons attendu à la réception parce que notre chambre initiale avait déjà été attribuée. Le jaccuzi et le hammam n'ont jamais fonctionné en une semaine. Pareil pour les douches de brume chaude. Seul le sauna marche correctement. Les équipements de sport comportent de la rouille. Le ménage ne passait pas tous les jours, et ils ne changent pas les produits (shampoo, savon, hair conditionner) quand il n'y en a plus. Les restaurants 'à la carte' compris dans le All inclusive doivent être réservés 72h à l'avance(!!)et après avoir fait une longue queue. La réception est toujours remplie, il n'y a pas assez de monde pour gérer peu importe l'heure. La plage privée est rocailleuse et très venteuse, ne permet pas de se baigner en sécurité (en janvier en tout cas), il faudra aller au village de santa Maria à chaque fois et payer le taxi (pas de navette hormis à 11h et 16h alors que c'est à 5 minutes...) Cerise sur le gâteau : mes tongues de marque ont disparu la veille de notre départ, après le passage de la femme de ménage. Pas de solution proposée par l'hôtel malgré avoir discuté avec le CX Manager, nous avons du en racheter à nos frais Points positifs : - le buffet est très bon et varié - personnel agréable et souriant En somme, pour ce prix là, vous pouvez trouver mieux sur l'île, on est déçus.
