The Melia Llana was fantastic, I loved that it was adult only and it was never too busy. The food was good, and as a coeliac (gluten free) you can ask the chef for different options which was great. There are two pools and we never struggled to get a sun bed. Overall the rooms were clean and comfortable and we had a lovely stay

I think the location is good if you want to just stay in the resort. However, if you want to do a bit of exploring you can't really walk to the main town of Santa Maria and even if you do there isn't that much to do in the town. Sal does seem the place to just relax and chill by the pool/sea rather than explore.

Location, food, activities. Amazing suite.

Drinks quality was dubious. Need more servers at pool bar.

Breakfast in the main buffer was extensive with the usual range of made to order eggs etc. But it was a bit noisy and busy. As a member of the Level club we had access to an adjacent sit down and order breakfast that was calmer but just as good

I got a food bug and had a poorly stomach for 4 days. Although I reported it to reception twice, there was no real interest, noone followed or took a report - until I asked for the manager on our day of check out In addition was hotel was good and up to standard but there was not much of interest to do on the island it although it is called Cape Verde it is actually largely barren and sandstone so not visually appealing !

The hotel, rooms, and area was really nice. Great pool area with a bar in the middle and great drinks. Food was great by british standards, absolutely ok by everyone elses. The personell where all really nice and helpfull and we (me and my wife who visited for our honeymoon) especially want to mention the bartender Domingos, and Charlene at the reception, who really helped make our stay wonderful. All in all a really great stay and hope to come back soon! Oh, and if you afford to stay there you afford to tip because those €uros make a bigger difference in the workers pockets than in ours. If you go to Santa Maria and not only want to eat at tourist traps both Cam's, and Georges, are great little restaurants with a genuine feel. Available in the area we did a personal tour of the island with Union Tours (our guide was Rony Monteiro and he was great, just remember to bring a few extra euros for entrance fees), jetski (with really nice instructors down by Bar Marley, a really nice reagge bar at the beach), and the Ziplinecabovervde that was really fun and also offered some live local funana-music that was awesome!

Small downside is that tha pools close at six in the evening. Also, the workforce, and especially room service, might be a little understaffed at times which might be something for management to look at because the staff are doing a great job so really deserve a great work environment without stress.

We loved the location to the beach - a promenade to stroll along or jog if you were so inclined. We had booked a deluxe swim up level room which entitled us to our own lounge with snacks and a bar with all inclusive drinks. Also we were able to book (via the Level Lounge Reception Team) all of the other Meliá Hotels which were all walkable to the hotel we stayed in. All the staff were always very friendly and helpful.

Always having to be up early to put towels out on the sun beds. The bed was particularly hard for us and the pillows too but we did sleep quite well.

The hotel provided a good range of meal options at every meal. I was very pleased with the vegan options which were always so tasty. Staff were always very welcoming and happy to help, particularly Daniel in the restaurant. I used the gym a few times and the machines were fine although there are limited options. It can get quite busy in there but still much better than many hotel gyms that i’ve used before. The drive to santa maria is about 10 minutes so not too bad and it costs €5.

Nothing!

Big complex with good rooms. Food good. Fun cocktails Bikini beach great! Massage in spa excellent.

Terrible wine in the all inclusive package

large bright rooms, proximity of the beach, tranquillity, entertainment, staff,

the food at the buffet was average. it would be better to have smaller choice but better quality.

The staff were all very friendly.

No bottle opener in the room. Weren't able to go to the 2 alternative restaurants as too busy. Ran out of towels.

Staff was amazing
