          Ubicación frente al mar, aunque con las dimensiones del hotel, había más de 1 km desde la habitación hasta la playa, pasando por todas las instalaciones del hotel: piscinas, bares, recepción, etc...
          La amabilidad del personal no compensa las carencias de la habitación ni los servicios prestados. - Falta de toallas en el baño varios días - Aire Acondicionado con muy mal funcionamiento (ruidoso y falta de presión de gas, por lo que no enfriaba suficientemente) Comidas del restaurante muy repetitivas. Los mismos platos TODOS los días: pollo y cerdo. No ví nada de ternera y el único pescado era bonito, siempre a la plancha. El único restaurante que podíamos comer no reponía comida UNA HORA antes del cierre, apagaban el aire acondicionado y retiraban los platos de la mesa aún sin haber terminado. Era muy estresante comer o cenar. Falta de personal en los bares que se saturaban en horas puntas, debiendo pasar mucho tiempo para pedir cualquier consumición. Había un sólo viaje de transfer hasta la ciudad, en horario poco aprovechable.

          The hotel services somewhat weaker, as was the a la carte restaurants, drinks, waiters in the bars, little evening entertainment....The flight weak, late, no food and left us without air conditioning 45 minutes on the runway on the way back and it was horrible.

          The hotel was clean and not overcrowded.
          El hotel estaba limpio y no estaba masificado.
          The rooms with broken AA, the buffet food every day the same, few activities, the hotel disco closed, the maintenance of the hotel very poor ... it is not a five star could reach a three star but no more. For a Melia it leaves much to be desired.

          The hotel is huge, there is a long distance between the beach and the room we were assigned, even to get to the dining room we had to walk 10 minutes. We were 2 days without towels,

          To put a downside, if the rooms are far from the reception there are no golf carts to take you back and forth, you have to walk. And what are the animations at night, a little lazy .... but otherwise perfect.
          Por poner alguna pega, si las habitaciones te las dan lejos de recepción no hay carritos de golf para llevarte y traerte, tienes que ir andando. Y lo que son las animaciones de por la noche, un poco flojas.... pero por lo demás perfecto.

          Nice hotel with generally friendly and helpful staff. Good facilities.
          Hotel bonito con personal en general, amable y servicial. Buenas instalaciones.
          It was not informed that the hotel was not open with all its services. As for restaurants, most of them were closed. The buffet and the Atlantis and El Rancho restaurants were open. These two are by booking. We arrived on Saturday night and on Sunday as soon as they opened, we went to make a booking. The surprise was that we could only go to the Atlantis and only one night (Friday), the El Rancho booking was offered outside of our stay. The free shuttle that was confirmed to me by mail that the hotel was offering to Santa Maria did not work either. They exchanged and suspended shows without prior notice. When I sent the information by mail to the hotel to look for a solution (the same day of the booking) they answered me that it was due to Covid issues. This was a very unprofessional and not at all humane answer with all the problems we had to deal with (why did Covid concentrate us all in the same area? does Covid know where to infect and where not to infect? besides, at the time we were there, there were no Covid regulations). Not the right answer at all. Other guests in the same range conditions as us, had alternatives to move in the same way as me their complaints as dinner at another restaurant in another hotel (some under the signature of a document not to transfer these incidents or put negative reviews on any network). The difference has been that they are two adults and we are an adult with a teenager. why this discrimination? After 6 days to treat us the same as the rest of the guests in the same range, hours before departure, they offer us a Balinese bed. Shameful! Very badly managed. I have many years of experience with the Meliá chain and in different categories. The situation we experienced is not at all from this hotel chain.
          No se comunicó que el hotel no estaba abierto con todos sus servicios. En cuanto a restauración la mayoría de restaurantes los hemos encontrado cerrados. Ha estado abierto el buffet y el restaurante Atlantis y el El Rancho. Estos dos son con reserva previa. Llegamos el Sábado por la noche y el Domingo en cuanto abrieron, fuimos a hacer la reserva. La sorpresa fue que sólo podíamos ir al Atlantis y una sola noche (el Viernes), la reserva de El Rancho nos la ofrecían fuera de nuestra estancia. Tampoco funcionaba el traslado gratuito que se me confirmó por mail que ofrecía el hotel hasta Santa María. Permutaron y suspendieron espectáculos sin previo aviso. Al trasladar la información mediante mail al hotel para buscar una solución (el mismo día de la reserva) me contestan que es por temas de Covid. Contestación nada profesional y nada humana con la que nos ha caído (¿por Covid nos concentran a todos en la misma zona? ¿sabe el Covid dónde si y dónde no infectar? además, en el momento que hemos estado no hay normativas Covid). Respuesta nada acertada. Otros huéspedes en las mismas condiciones de categoría que nosotras, tuvieron alternativas al trasladar en la misma vía que yo sus quejas como cena en otro restaurante de otro hotel (algunos bajo la firma de un documento de no trasladar estos incidentes ni de poner críticas negativas en ninguna red). La diferencia ha sido que ellos son dos adultos y nosotras un adulto con un adolescente. ¿por qué esta discriminación? Después de 6 días para tratarnos igual que al resto de los huéspedes en la misma categoría, horas antes de la partida, nos ofrecen una cama balinesa. Vergonzoso! Muy mal gestionado. Tengo experiencia de muchos años con la cadena Meliá y en diferentes categorías. La situación que vivimos no es para nada de esta cadena hotelera.

          Very disappointing experience with Amimir.com. I paid around AED 300 and received a confirmed hotel booking, but when I arrived, the hotel had no record of my reservation. I contacted Amimir while waiting at reception, but the booking still never reached the hotel. I was left stranded and had to pay the hotel again directly. Based on my experience, I would not recommend booking through Amimir. Fraud Company

          I recently booked hotel nights in Warsaw through Amimir and couldn't be happier with the service. They had the best rates available, and when I reached out with a quick question, they responded almost instantly with all the details I needed. Smooth process, fantastic value, and reliable support.

          I would like to give a huge thank you to Tomas Da Costa, a representative at Amimir UK, for providing such an outstanding customer service experience. I contacted Tomas with a last-minute request to change the number of rooms in my reservation, just before the payment was due to be charged to my credit card. Tomas was incredibly helpful, understanding, and professional throughout the entire process. What really stood out was that he went the extra mile to make sure my request was handled correctly and that everything was properly arranged. His attention to detail and willingness to take the extra time gave us peace of mind and allowed us to look forward to our trip without any worries. Tomas, you were amazing! Thank you so much for your exceptional help and customer service. It is rare to receive this level of care and dedication, and it truly made a difference.

          Easy booking and a very good price
          I found Amimir while looking for a good hotel deal and was very happy with the price compared with other websites. The booking process was simple and straightforward, and I received the confirmation without any problems. So far, my experience has been very positive and I would use Amimir again.

          I use it for a first time and found it less expensive than booking.com for the same accommodation.

          Городской налог не входит в стоимость бронирования, и его просят при заселении оплатить дополнительно.
