clean and friendly
I'm not a fan of resorts when I am on holiday but this was a very good experience. Cleanliness is the most important thing for me and the hotel was very clean, even the courtesy rooms. Buffett could do with some variety as there is a lot of pork. A map or tour of the grounds on arrival would prove beneficial so you know what the resort has available along with the entertainment itinerary.

It was very good but if you want to try other restaurants on site you have to book them from day one ( mistake we've made).

Do never book this hotel, you may not have a room
We booked and paid a hotel room for 3 persons from 24-25/11 through hotels.com and even though we had a booking confirmation, the receptionist told us that there were no rooms available. So we were standing late night without a place to sleep!. Unacceptable breach of trust and they failed to take just the slightest responsibility for their errors. Stay away! Do not put any trust in these people.

8/10 Very good

In general was a really good experience, our room was nearby the pool ans the restaurant. We couldn't enjoy the A la Carte restaurants for dinner as they were fully booked, we were hiven the lunch option but we didn't take it. The food in the buffet we really good and the variety from lical food to international cuisine. Only issue was the towels in the room, the moment they take it to replace you suffer to get new ones has they only bring it by dinner time, and if you were lucky to get one. I had to call housekeeping 3 times on the same night to get one.

Lovely experience
Lots of positives. The hotel was spotlessly clean. Our bedroom recieved a thorough clean each day and we received fresh towels each day. Lots of food choices including a buffet and several a la carte. We were here 1 week amd had no problems booking a different restaurant each night by going to the booking service at 1030 in the odyssey bar ( next to the piano). Food was excellent. Hotel has several pools and direct access to the beach. No problems getting a sunbed. No mosquitos but bring your spray just in case.

Maria, 1-night trip

8/10 Very good

It's a large and well maintained hotel complex on a stretch of excellent beach. We loved the location, the weather of course, lots of wildlife, birds, turtles and butterflies. The staff are mostly young in age and very friendly and helpful. Service in the bars, restaurants and poolside are all very good. The housekeeping for our room often didn't turn up until 6pm and on the last 2 days we were there they didn't turn up at all. This was despite our leaving the 'please clean our room' notice on our door for them to see. I phoned down to reception a couple of times but reception did not answer. That wasn't very good and not what we would expect from a 5-star hotel.
Julian, 7-night trip

6/10 Good

Not bad but not really worth it.
We arrived a little early to the resort but were told our room would be ready by 3pm. It was almost 4pm by the time it was ready. When we got to the room, we realised that the queen bed was actually a standard double. The person who took us to our room advised us the mini bar would be filled around 5pm. It was never filled. We slept really badly the first few nights with lots of back pain. Eventually, we lifted the mattress to find various support slats were missing. After we reported this to reception, they had it repaired and we slept much better. As we'd paid for The Level, we were advised on our second morning that we could alternate breakfasts at The Level breakfast in our resort and the one next door at melia llana. We did this and it was great, as it's an adults only hotel. Sadly, on our last morning, they had introduced a new vip level, meaning we lost the right to this service. As such, I don't think I'd recommend paying extra for The Level for anyone thinking of going in future. The food offering was very good - better than other all inclusive resorts I've been to. But we weren't advised to book restaurants in advance and, at the peak period of the year that is new year, we were only able to book the new year's eve night (which we did in advance) and one other included dinner. The best thing about the resort is definitely the staff. They obviously really want to help and make sure you're having a good time. They go out of their way to be friendly and helpful.
