Très joli hôtel.
Pros:

Le personnel est très aimable. Nous avons reçu des présents dans notre chambre et nous remercions l'hôtel de ces cadeaux. Les repas étaient très bons , variés et de qualité. La chambre était très confortable et silencieuse avec un canapé, une baignoire, double lavabo et une cabine de douche. La plage privée était bien entretenue et grande. Nous recommandons vivement ce bel hôtel .

Cons:

Le sol dans la cabine de douche est glissant, mon mari est tombé heureusement sans gravité. Attention au ménage dans les chambres. , nous avons passé 5 nuits. Il aurait fallu nettoyer la table de la chambre, les w-c et autour des lavabos mais peut-être que les dames de ménage n'ont pas le temps.Une chaine TV en français aurait été bien. Le premier jour, alors que nous attendions d'avoir notre chambre, nous avons vu un cuisinier prendre à main nue des amandes pour les manger devant les clients qui attendaient que le restaurant ouvre. Ça n'est pas acceptable.

It was a pleasant stay, very family friendly, and romantic too. Definitely plan to come back again
Pros:

Check-in experience felt well thought through with the concierge service for Levels guests. Then the Breakfast was also good, there was a lot of options available generally. But there was also a different section for Levels guests where the breakfast seating area was less busy and had more quality options. The room location was perfect, literally 5 mins walk to the beach. There was also a 5 min drive to the Koko Beach Quad biking centre, which was a great activity to do. There were so many restaurants on the resort to choose from, and we also received a dinning voucher as a complimentary gift to use in any of the restaurants. Also loved the massage and spa facilities.

Cons:

Didn't like the fact that on check-in, especially as a 'Levels Guest' I was not given a tour of the facilities, or even taken to my room. We were just given a map of the resort and explained where things were on the map. But given the size of the resort, we should have been given a 5 - 10 mins tour then taken to the room, because it took a while to get a hang of where things were in the resort, including how to operate the AC/FAN/TV, etc.

Fabulous hotel but nothing much else to offer in local area
Pros:

The hotel and its grounds were fabulous, very clean and well maintained. Our room was huge with lots of nice touches. Breakfast was great, plenty of choice and good quality. The buffet really was "help yourself" unlike on cruise ships!

Cons:

The immediate area outside the hotel boundaries was not a nice place to wander around...lots of rubbish and derelict looking cafe/bars on the beach and unmade roads. Saw 2 dead turtles washed up on the beach. So that limits activities during the day if the weather isn't warm enough to laze by the pool or on the private beach.

Not A All-Inclusive Experience.
Pros:

some very positive aspects worth mentioning. The hotel itself is beautiful. The rooms, pools and grounds are maintained to a very high standard, and you can see staff working throughout the day to keep everything immaculate. The Guest Experience team were also quick to respond whenever we contacted them.
Overall, this is a beautiful hotel with excellent facilities, but unfortunately our experience of the "all-inclusive" package did not live up to our expectations or, in our opinion, represent what we believed we were paying for. Greater transparency before booking about the difference between Standard All-Inclusive and All-Inclusive Level would have made a significant difference to our experience.

Cons:

We booked Meliá Durres hotel for six days and paid almost £2,000, choosing it specifically because it was advertised as an all-inclusive holiday. Unfortunately, the reality of the all-inclusive experience was very different from what we reasonably believed we had booked.
It was only after we arrived and had paid the hotel directly at check-in that the restrictions of our package were properly explained to us. Our "standard all-inclusive" package included breakfast, lunch and dinner in just one restaurant, a limited selection of drinks, and access to the beach restaurant as part of the package at lunchtime only.
We completely understand that all-inclusive packages can have certain restrictions. Our issue is that the extent of these restrictions was not made clear when we booked through Booking.com, nor did we feel they were clearly explained on the hotel's own website. Had the different levels of all-inclusive been clearly outlined before booking and payment, we could have made an informed decision about which package was right for us.
We were also disappointed by the lack of information provided at check-in. We received a hotel map, but very little useful information regarding breakfast, lunch and dinner times, spa and gym opening hours, or a clear explanation of exactly what our package included.
I contacted Guest Experience for further information and was then told that there is an "All-Inclusive Level" package, which apparently includes benefits such as access to rooftop pools and bars, additional restaurants, complimentary spa access and more. Again, this distinction was not clear to us when booking.
Two days into our stay, we received a card offering us a complimentary dinner at another restaurant. We appreciated the gesture and were looking forward to experiencing something different. Once seated, we were informed that we could only choose certain starters, mains and desserts, which we understood given that the meal was complimentary.

Don’t fall for the “adults only” package/experience
Pros:

It’s a very large property with a lot of food options to choose from! It’s also very family friendly so if you have children, it’s a perfect spot to bring them.

Cons:

We opted for the “adults only” package which gives us access to the “level” which is a restaurant only adults are allowed to and an adults only rooftop with a small pool and bar. Our room was right on the main pool so kids were screaming right on our patio the whole time which wasn’t an enjoyable experience. So if you want a bit more of an “adults only” experience - DO NOT STAY HERE.

Nice get away
Pros:

This is my third time stayin at a Melia Propery and everytime im always extremely satisified, this stay was no diffrent. The property feels a little far from everything, you will drive 45 mins plus when comming and going for actvities, but then again it is considered a resort so that makes sense. The property is absloutley beautiful, and has lots to offer. I booked the level stay and it comes with a lot of extra perks which were appricated. The pool was nice and have cabannas were great to stay out the heat. There's everything at your fingertips you could want and need. The rooms are beautifl and spacious and so is the bathroom.

Cons:

I had a slight issue with my room on the first night, which they fixed right away, they way it was handled was professional and fast. The only other thing is the AC will cut off when you are not there, so if you're visitng when it is warm , you will have to wait for the room to cool back down when you return to the room.

Schöner Aufenthalt, das Essen war war gut im Level-Packet, Sauber und Freundlich.
Pros:

wir konnten uns frei bewegen, die Leute waren freundlich und zuvorkommend.

Cons:

Das Level-System für erwachsene könnte sicher einfacher gestaltet werden. Man muss genau wissen was genau wo im Level Paket inbegriffen ist und wo nicht
