Melia - Reviews and experiences

My honeymoon was a total disaster, eh. We thought we were making a good choice by picking a fancy schmancy spot, but boy were we wrong. The grub at the hotel was just gross - most folks were complaining about it. Can you believe a place that claims to be 5-star would serve such awful chow? We were just ticking off the days until we could ditch that joint and tuck into a good meal back home. For the whole week, it was pretty much just bread and cabbage for us. And to top it off, there was hardly any water, and they never changed the dang bed sheets or towels. After that escapade, we swore we'd never go back there. Save yourself the trouble, and steer clear!

Just got back from a terrible trip to a resort. My partner and I were there the whole time, only eating at the on-site restaurants and following all the rules. Still, I ended up getting super sick with E. Coli and had to leave early to go to the hospital. It was a huge expense and totally messed up our trip. We tried to get our money back, but they wouldn't give it to us no matter how many times we asked. So now we're bringing in the legal team. Save your cash and stay away from this place.

The website is so deceiving, they make it look like the hotel is right next to the beach, but turns out it's a 1.8km walk to get there at the far end of the resort. Thought this was supposed to be all-inclusive, but it was a letdown. There's only one restaurant where you have to fork out cash for every little thing. The fish joint only serves what they've caught that day as part of the deal, so you're stuck with the buffet where they run out of stuff all the time. The beer they give you is fine, but the red and white wines are gross, the gin isn't even gin, and they don't have any bubbly, rum, or brandy included. And on top of that, the drink service is crazy slow - wait about 15 minutes even when the bar is empty. Do yourself a favor and find somewhere else to stay!
