Me and my family stayed at this resort for three days and the overall experiencing was good. Staff is very friendly every-time you ask any questions they are more than happy to answer. If you have kids this resort is for you, they have a children’s pool, children’s club and activities throughout the week. The food in general if your not a picky eater it’s good, they have the main buffet and three other restaurantes you can reserve for lunch/dinner.

Without a doubt, one of the best holidays we’ve had. We travelled as a group of friends with children 2 to 18 years old, and there was truly something for everyone. The hotel exceeded our expectations. It was huge and full of activities that after a full week, we still hadn’t explored it all! The buffet restaurants were outstanding. The variety and quality of food were impressive, and the service was exceptional. A special mention must go to one of the waitresses, 'Miraculous', who was incredibly kind and patient with our lively group of children. Her warm and friendly nature made our visits a pleasure. The pools were consistently clean, and the variety from kids’ pools to more relaxing area meant we always had something to enjoy. One day, during a temporary power outage, the slides at the water park weren’t working, but the lifeguard kept the kids entertained, which was appreciated. The beach was breathtaking clean, beautiful, and easily accessible. The facilities nearby were convenient, and even the vendors offering excursions were great to deal with. 'Victor', in particular, was friendly, helpful, and never pushy. 'Jose' from VIP Guest Services also deserves recognition. Despite us not being VIP clients, he was incredibly attentive and helpful throughout our stay. The only slight disappointment was with restaurants we booked. Unfortunately, the staff there were quite rude and the food didn’t meet the same standards as the buffet. Was still a 10/10 holiday however!

I'm not a fan of resorts when I am on holiday but this was a very good experience. Cleanliness is the most important thing for me and the hotel was very clean, even the courtesy rooms. Buffett could do with some variety as there is a lot of pork. A map or tour of the grounds on arrival would prove beneficial so you know what the resort has available along with the entertainment itinerary.

The rooms are old furnished, with broken tiles and litteraly full of mosquitoes as there are no mosquitoes nets at the windows. The bathroom has a bath tub with a non-inviting colour and some mold and not even an handle for the hand-towel next to the sink. Very bad isolation as well. The food quality is really poor (a la carte gets a bit better, but not always). The staff is not well trained and gives continuously wrong information and directions. When at the beach, you get endlessly asked to buy souvenires and you can't really bathe in the sea because of the rocks. Not a 5 Stars Resort. A nightmare. Never again.

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.

Where do I start? Holiday from hell... The website online was very deceiving. All inclusive 5 star hotel - no, not at all. More like a 2 star at best. The island believes in 'No Stress' yes this is true for them but it was very stressful for us. In our group we had 4 strict vegetarians (that ate eggs) but the restaurants including the buffet did not cater for us. Throughout our stay, we had to eat chips and pizza everyday for every meal. What made matters worst was they have a so called booking system for their a la carte restaurants, but you can never find a booking online... When we managed to get a booking for the restaurants and asked if some of the main courses could exclude the meat option and just have the standard vegetables, we were told no. One of the restaurants Rancho, had a vegetarian taco starter and when we asked to order 2 per person, as each dish only had ONE taco, we were told no, this can't be done. There was no apology or alternative offered except a chuckle from the waitress 'oh you're vegetarian, hahaha'.. DISAPPOINTING! The website and Expedia both state an indian cuisine restaurant, Sahel (which you'd assume can cater for vegetarians as this cuisine is mainly vegetarian) but when we arrived, this restaurant did not exist - how shambolic! It was a meat restaurant of African cuisine. The staff are not helpful at all, they act like it's a chore to speak to you. The hotel is infested with mosquitos and we were bitten alive by them - be warned.

This is not a 5* hotel. It is very obvious that the hotel does not maintain a large proprotion of their facilities. I had to change rooms 3 times due to a balcony door that would not shut, no working phones in the room (which meant having to walk back and forth to reception in a massive resort) and general uncleanliness of the rooms (mold in the bathroom, and walls stained with squashed insects by previous guests). I also complained about my air conditioning blowing hit air which took more than 24hours to fix. The food options were very poor and some food items I was served were inedible. The poor service also extends to the staff, though some are polite on approach, they are very indifferent and issues are not sorted in a timely way. I would not stay here again. My stay was so poor I checked out early to stay in a different hotel.

Do never book this hotel, you may not have a room

We booked and paid a hotel room for 3 persons from 24-25/11 through hotels.com and even though we had a booking confirmation, the receptionist told us that there were no rooms available. So we were standing late night without a place to sleep!. Unacceptable breach of trust and they failed to take just the slightest responsibility for their errors. Stay away! Do not put any trust in these people.

Most Sever Food Poisoning Ever! AVOID AT ALL COST

The hotel is nice, a little tired but nice. Unfortunately on day 2 I got the most severe food poisoning ever - 24 hours of vomiting, Diarrhoea, fever, chills, nausea etc. and then went to see the on-site Dr. I spent 4 hours on a drip, and was discharged with medication for 3 further days - which cost me Euro430 The next few days, Thursday 13th to Saturday 15th, I was still under the weather, nausea and unable to eat properly, Sunday 16th, I still couldn't eat but felt a little better. It's now been a week (19th March) and I am still unable to eat properly and waiting to see my GP I spoke to Guest Services and they said "I can't prove I didn't leave the resort so they hold zero accountability" They wished me better but never said sorry - they also lied to me saying no one else got sick - I took a very bad turn on flight home and air stewards looking after me, said they had 3 others on the flight from the Melia Dunas with the same symptoms I spent 5 of the 7 days there sick, unable to eat more than white rice / bread rolls It's not a cheap holiday and zero apologies, just lies and the offer to "bring me food to my room" So angry!
