“Disappointing for a Melia..”
Outdated rooms and bathrooms, very poor quality of food produce.. team at the reception a little bit over relaxed and forgetting what you ask for.. parking situation paying prime pricing not even functioning and you have constantly to ask permission to get in and out because their system “doesnt work” and after three days stay it still doesn’t! Very naff entertainment and expensive à la carte food and beverage and very poor quality of food. Very disappointing

We loved the property and the beach is the most beautiful I've seen. We didn't love the wind though, it was so strong that it was hurting to be on the beach. If anything, if the resorts would heat the pools, it would be an unbeatable destination! But with high winds keeping guests off the beach, it would have been nice to be able to use the lovely - but oh so cold! - pools.

“Lovely hotel, wonderful staff. Probably won’t return because of the gluten free issues.”
The staff were very friendly and helpful. The Level villa was beautiful inside. The exclusive Level lounge was very pleasant offering breakfast, snacks and open bar.

“One of the worst hotel experiences I have ever had in this price range, I would not return even if I was paid to do so.”
The location and surroundings are beautiful, and the concept of the resort has potential.
