Wonderful Time at Meliá Las Américas
chayath (Cambridge, Canada) on Dec 04, 2024
We had another amazing stay at this resort in November 2024! The staff, as always, were fantastic. While some of the newer staff are still learning the ropes, many of them are doing a great job, and the experienced team continues to deliver excellent service. A few suggestions for improvement: • Smoking Areas: The designated smoking area is located right at the building’s entrance. Since everyone passes through this area, it may pose a health concern. I possibly developed a chest infection from this setup, so moving the smoking area further away from high-traffic zones would be beneficial for all guests. • Stair Safety: The stairs leading to the beach are stunning but create an optical illusion that makes it difficult to see the steps clearly, both during the day and at night. Adding reflective tape, glow-in-the-dark strips, or lights to differentiate the steps would greatly enhance safety. • Menu Accessibility: The absence of written menus in the restaurants creates challenges. Guests must photograph the menus displayed on the in-room television to review meal options, which can be inconvenient. This was especially problematic for me as I did not have mobile data, and while the resort provides new Wi-Fi, it can still be finicky in certain areas. Additionally, the QR codes used in the restaurants are not user-friendly for elderly guests or those without smartphones. Having printed menus available would greatly enhance the dining experience for all guests. • Nonalcoholic Beverages: The options for nonalcoholic beverages were disappointing. The piña colada mix, which is typically a staple mocktail, was pre-mixed with alcohol, leaving fewer choices for those who don’t drink. My husband, who does not consume alcohol, was stuck drinking San Francisco Sunrises for the entire trip. Offering a wider variety of nonalcoholic cocktails would improve the experience for guests who abstain. • Front Desk Staff: Upon arrival, we found the front desk staff to be unfriendly and unhelpful, which was disappointing compared to past visits. Staff at the front desk should create a warm and welcoming first impression, as this sets the tone for the stay. Activities and Entertainment: In the past, the resort offered a variety of beach activities like games and sports, which were a lot of fun for guests who don’t participate in volleyball or aqua gym. While I don’t mind if there are no prizes, these activities added a fun and engaging element for everyone. During this visit, there seemed to be fewer organized activities. The dance classes were enjoyable, with Adrienne and Jordi doing an amazing job engaging everyone and making the lessons a lot of fun. Iyse organized a cocktail-making lesson, which was great, but during my nine-day stay, that was the only activity offered. In the past, there were many more activities to participate in, and I usually enjoy taking part in all of them. Dining and Staff Highlights: The à la carte restaurants were enjoyable overall, though there were a few hiccups: • At Limoncello, the service was disappointing, and while the food was okay, the descriptions of the dishes were confusing, and the staff offered little guidance. • The white wine served at Sakura and Limoncello was notably poor, in contrast to the wine served at other restaurants, which was fine. That said, the staff across the resort made our stay exceptional: • Jose gave wonderful massages that helped us relax even more. • Margarita and Robaleeza were fabulous and attentive to our needs in the restaurant. • The beach staff were outstanding and always ready to assist when we asked for chairs (Raul, Lulu) • Lazarus, the omelet chef, and Jaclyn, the crêpe chef, were excellent and consistently delivered delicious food with a smile. • Angela in reservations deserves a special thank you for making us great reservations and ensuring our dining experiences were seamless. Lastly, we only met Anna Rose and Elizabeth toward the end of our trip, but they were absolutely wonderful and left a lasting impression (front desk) Despite a few minor issues, we had a great time. Special thanks to the incredible staff who greeted us with smiles and went above and beyond to make our stay memorable. We will definitely be returning to Meliá Las Américas!
