Good resort

sam m on May 08, 2025

Experience was good, great location of the resort. Food was okay at the buffet and the two restaurants on the resort but the staff were excellent at their jobs and very pleasant towards us. The excursions desk had a lot of fun activities that we were able to book.

Excellent for families

SaraWA2025 (Pasco, Washington) on May 05, 2025

We had a great time for 8 days 7 nights at Melia. We had a 8 month old baby, 4.5 and 7.5 year olds. The programs started a tad late for us but overall we enjoyed all the activities and things to do for the kids. The food was good, very clean and had a decent variety.

excellent service

wardfam08 (Calgary, Canada) on May 04, 2025

we weren't expecting a five star since we knew this resort is older and had checked it out on line prior to arriving. The service was very good and the food was good in the Mole and Tacos that we ate at every breakfast and once at the Fish House. We were in the premium ocean front room so we were able to eat Ala carte instead of the buffet which we never tried during our 3 day stay. The resort is right on the marina and very short walking distance to other restaurants to visit so we tried that one night. The staff definitely make this worth your while.

Nice resort for families and rest.

KellyTherrien (Saskatoon, Canada) on May 01, 2025

This is a nice resort. Very quiet, polite staff, very good food. As some other reviews state, the rooms are dated but clean and functional. We had one little hiccup which was handled by guest services promptly and well. I really only have two points which made this less than a 5 star experience. 1) the drinks were not very good... they serve premixes for things like pina coladas and the like, which werent very good. I was kind of expecting fresher drinks. 2) the hotel is quiet, but it was a little too quiet for me. Its geared towards families, and that is fine. Once darkness sets in, the place really dies off. Again, not a bad thing if thats what you want, just felt a little boring most evenings. Overall a very good experience, and depending on the group I was with, I would stay again.

Great Family Get Away

LesC326 on Apr 26, 2025

Great family resort, good food, nice big pool. Only, comment I would make is that the kids events and shows are primarily in spanish. My kids didn't mind and still had a great time. The pool chairs are first come first serve but most are claimed before the pool opens, this is a situation where you either be part of the problem and claim your chairs early against the rules or you miss out on good chairs at the pool.
