Après un 1er séjour en 2022 plutôt agréable, nous avons décidé de revenir dans cet hotel. Points positifs: l'hotel est proche de l'aeroport, de santa maria et du jardin botanique. Les chambres sont très spacieuses et les jardins sont superbes et bien entretenus. Il y a des animations, une plaine de jeu et une piscine bien adaptée aux plus petits et la majorité du personnel est souriant. Il y a une petite salle de sport à disposition et l'accès à l'océan se fait facilement. Par contre, nous avons été déçu par les buffets qui étaient pratiquement identiques chaque jour. De plus, de nombreux plats sont mis à disposition tièdes voire presque froid. L'eau de la douche était également à peine tiède. Le problème a été signalé et après la venue du technicien, l'eau était carrément froide! Il a fallu signaler à nouveau le souci mais sans jamais avoir de retour, j'ai moi-même du essayer de régler le chauffe-eau pour que l'eau soit à nouveau plus ou moins tiède. Le sol de la chambre était fréquemment lavé mais certaines taches douteuses restaient apparentes. Si la grosse majorité du personnel est sympathique, ils vivent à fond en fonction de leur devise qui est "no stress", ne soyez donc pas trop pressés pour être servi au bar ou à la réception. Très dommage, tous ces petits détails ont un peu gâché notre voyage et ne nous donne pas envie de retourner dans cet hôtel qui nous avait pourtant bien plu auparavant.

Es una pena porque estuvimos en la categoría Level y ésta brilló por su ausencia. Ni el trato, ni la comida, ni la zona de piscina, ni la atención.

Service: Absolutely appalling. The staff seem determined to help as little as possible. They either dismiss concerns outright, ignore you, or pass you to someone else who never follows up. It felt like a constant battle just to get basic assistance. Food: The food is atrocious. Ended up surviving on pasta and bread to avoid getting sick, as many guests around us were ill. The buffet is the worst – warm food sits out for hours with flies swarming all over it. Completely unhygienic and unacceptable. WiFi: The WiFi barely worked. It took several complaints and a staff visit to get it functioning properly. Facilities: The room and resort are in serious disrepair. The safe in our room didn’t work. The air conditioning leaked water all over our clothes, the shower clogged and overflowed daily, and the bedroom door broke after housekeeping visited, leaving it impossible to close or lock. Drinks: All drinks are watered down. Even wine tasted diluted, and ordering a gin and tonic might get you Sprite instead. Advertising: The hotel we booked was advertised a “adults only”. This was false - there’s one small area that has an adult-only pool which is small and rammed. Turns out we ended up paying more for this. Overpriced Excursions: The hotel pushes overpriced trips for over €100, which you can find online for €15–€20. It’s clear they’re exploiting guests with these inflated prices. Lost Items: We had to move rooms and accidentally left an item behind. The staff were initially unhelpful and only acted after we raised a fuss. Apparently, housekeeping had found the item days earlier but didn’t inform us. It then took them half a day to retrieve it, which felt suspicious. Overall, this hotel was a disaster from start to finish. Avoid wasting your money and your time here.

Food in the one open Restaurant was very unpleasant (Food often cold, cockroach spotted, drinks like fanta where always empty, food dind't had any flavour). In the other a la cart Restaurants tables are booked out for month. Stuff working was very polite, drinks at bar are ok (at least some of them like the mojito). Someone of our group cut his foot up in the pool because the floor was damaged.

We have just returned from the Meliá Dunas for a winter break. The hotel is beautiful and the staff are friendly and helpful. Upon arrival we were allocated a room quickly and our luggage delivered to the room. We had a two bedroomed room with plenty of space. The room was cleaned daily and fresh towels provided. We booked three evening meals in the Aqua, Sahel & Avantis restaurants. This was easy to do. The pools are clean and well maintained. The only downside was the shop in the hotel was limited in produce. Really souviners rather than food. There is a supermarket 10 mins walk away that had all we needed. The food in the all inclusive Buffett was usually hot and fresh, however they often run out of glasses and there are queues at peak times. Cape Verde is a beautiful island and the locals were friendly inside and outside the hotel. The weather was hit and miss with a few cloudy days and it’s very windy. We would return to Cape Verde and this hotel again, hopefully next time when the weather is warmer. There are lots of mosquitoes on the island
