Extremely disappointing and the quality does not reflect the price you pay
Pros:

The guest services lady who assisted us with the issues we had was extremely helpful and pool and concierge staff were lovely

Cons:

The room we initially had was dirty, smelt of waste and very worn/falling apart. Hairs in the sink and on the bed sheets, holes in the bed sheets, mould in the bathroom, mouldy shower head. It was appalling. We arrived late so decided to speak to reception the following morning. At breakfast there were holes in the chairs, again it was very dirty and all in all just very poor. We raised our concerns to guest services who kindly assisted us to a new room and they did provide a small upgrade to be able to eat in the à la carte breakfast and lunch restaurant. However this was the bare minimum of what you would expect with the money paid to stay. The whole hotel had a smell of waste, we believe it was the water and there is a lot of water features in the hotel. I think they must be aware of the smell as they burn insence in a lot of the areas. The sports bar was almost derelict, the toilets in there were dirty the whole time we stayed so I assume do not get cleaned. During our stay the air conditioning was broken due to electrical issues. Guest services again helped with this because they found a fan for us, so kind. The gym never had water available again due to electricity issues the fountains were all out of use, it was also so hot in there too which actually is not exactly safe if you cannot even access fresh drinking water. All in all just so disappointing and really not worth the money at all!

Stunning hotel, pure luxury throughout.
Pros:

Amazing hotel, stunning interior and well laid out. Fantastic choice of restaurants all specialising in different cuisines. Nice separation of family and adults only for day and night. Great access to the beach with private loungers and towel services conveniently located around the pool and beach. Plenty of room everywhere, doesn’t feel crowded. Very clean and felt very safe. The suite we had was excellent, very spacious and very good daily cleaning service. 24/7 gym with decent equipment. Staff were extremely polite and friendly, taking drink orders from your loungers throughout the day.

Cons:

Some of the restaurants were definitely better than others. Having to book the restaurants in advance you had to be very organised (days ahead) or risk not getting a table. The immediate surroundings outside of the hotel are very rundown, we had a rented car and driving around the local area was a big contrast to the 5 star luxury behind the entrance gates. Inside the confines of the hotel felt extremely safe and secure though. Evening entertainment wasn’t the best, only one ‘sports’ bar stayed open late but the theme/events planned weren’t always very popular or well executed.

Si venis por la playa no vengas.
Pros:

El hotel muy lindo. La comida de alguno de los restaurantes muy buena. Las bebidas muy bien tambien. El gimnasio muy completo.

Cons:

La playa esta muy fea. Si bien ellos se ocupan de que la arena esté limpia lamentablemente el mar estaba lleno de sargazo. El fondo lleno de piedras que no se veian por el agua marrón y el olor horrible. Uno elige estos destinos x la playa y solo hicimos pileta. Otra cosa es que tienen reposeras que te cobran 30 usd para estar. Creo que la tarifa que ya habíamos pagado (The reserve) era la suficiente como para tener acceso a todos los servicios. Todo el tiempo te persiguen para venderte el programa de Meliá. Nos regalaron unos sombreros muy bonitos con toallas usadas! La comida del resto Sal fue para el olvido.

doesnt seem like a 5 start. 4 at most. multiple issues with room keys almost every day.
Pros:

quite a nice hotel. decent food. 50% of staff were good but many didn't care unfortunately. room was very nice. view and beach was great. food was decent. some dishes out signed others.

Cons:

we had a HUGE problem with our keys. 7 times they locked us out of the rooms. having to walk to the front desk every time. a couple times this was after midnight. when we were assured it was fixed we went for a couples massage. our kids rooms they were locked out and couldn't get a hold of because we were in the spa. they were teen agers but couldn't get in to their rooms. they ended up comping the spa services but it was an absolute pain. 7 times in 9 days.... no rhyme or reason.

Неплохой отель, но совсем не продуманный сервис
Pros:

Территория отеля и выбор блюд шведского стола в основном ресторане Hadar.

Cons:

Невозможно организовать подачу машины ко входу в отель. Местная мафия таксистов не позволяет ожидать и у главного въезда, куда могут довезти на гольф-каре. Мы ныряли и у нас было два чемодана дайверского снаряжения. Персонал отеля не дал машине нашего дайв-центра заехать за нами на территорию отеля. Мы были вынуждены доезжать до главного входа и оттуда ещё идти на соседнюю улицу, так как таксисты не позволяют другим машинам забирать нас от главного въезда. В отеле очень удивились тому, что мы знаем, что у въезда стоять нельзя из-за таксистов, но никакого решения не предложили. Нам было очень неудобно из-за этого все 5 дней.

На пляже водоросли и купаться невозможно. В другом отеле, в котором мы были недалеко от этого, водоросли с пляжа убирали и он был чистый.

В ресторанах, которые надо бронировать для ужина, очень неуютно, голые столы, не все блюда вкусные. Гораздо вкуснее в ресторане со шведским столом. Везде ожидают чаевых за то, что просто принесли воду - для меня это странно. Подача напитков организована неудобно.

Pros:

This place was truly elegant.It had a private reserve with a private pool, away from the antics of spring breakers. The food was okay in the restaurants. There was a particularly good private for reserve.Only restaurant that served lunch and breakfast.That was outstanding. They keep the property perfectly.

Cons:

It was very hard to get reservations at the restaurants.I wish they had told us to book immediately upon arrival.They were sold out most every night.If you did it the same day.
