Lovely stay, lovely staff, very accomodating. Carla was excellent, very friendly and welcoming at the restaurant, as were the rest of the team😊 Room was clean, facilities good. Great location to the beach. Live music and shows every night were nice to go to also. Obrigada!

We first went to this hotel in 2018 and have returned for the first time. Not much had changed and some parts of the hotel could definitely do with a refresh. The food in the main buffet restaurant was often tepid/cold. When we booked for the other restaurants, these were better and the food was much hotter. Whilst packing to come home, we found that somehow we were €50 missing from my husband’s wallet. I advised the receptionist when we left who apologised and asked if I’d reported it. We’d only just noticed. (We hadn’t carried cash all week as there was nothing to buy and we didn’t go out of the hotel so I know we hadn’t spent it) I have since come home and reported to the Cape Verde police who were even less interested than the hotel. So just be careful and keep an eye on your money. It made for a disappointing end to a nice week in the sunshine.

Tout simplement incroyable. Le personnel est toujours souriant et disponible à se couper en 4 pour nous faire plaisir. Le coin LEVEL pour se détendre, boire un bon petit verre accompagné d’excellents apéritifs. Nous avons passé 10 jours exceptionnels. Leiza qui s’est occupée de nous au coin LEVEL, est douce, souriante et comme tout ses collègues, très serviable.

Bed was not that comfortable, it's a 5 Star different then the ones we have in Europe in terms of infrastructure, but in compensation, staff is amazing! All people I was with was amazing. Cabo verde are really Morabeza! Special thanks to Dilza and Carlos that gave a extra light to our vacancies 🥰

Würde ich nicht noch einmal buchen. Mitarbeiter wenig zuvorkommend, Englisch wird nur selten gesprochen, man fühlt sich nicht verstanden zum Teil. Anlage wirkt oft ungepflegt, es ist sehr laut bis spät in die Nacht. Leider nicht besonders erholsam.

Had a fabulous stay at The Melia Dunas at the beginning of March. I travelled solo and was booked in The Adults Only Level area which was a bonus and I benefited from some lovely extras including a welcome & leaving gesture of fruit & cheese brought to the room and my A’La Carte restaurant reservations were automatically made for me. I received reservations for 4 different restaurants although I didn’t actually use them al but ensured I cancelled with The Level Office. I probably didn’t make best use of all of the adults only areas available to me and didn’t make the most of the premium drinks as I did go into Santa Maria a lot but I was happy with the facilities I used My room was kept lovely & clean as was all of the public areas. I really enjoyed the food in the main buffet restaurant as there was lots of choice and plenty of fresh salads, vegetables and fruit. I always found something to eat, and enjoyed it maybe the only negative is that the food is not kept that hot. The staff were very friendly and whenever I had a question they were really helpful. I also caught some of the evening entertainment which was good fun. I’d also recommend treatments in the spa. The weather is great at this time of year and through the day it’s hot, even if a little windy you catch the sun. A cardigan or light jacket is recommended in the evening. I did not experience any problems with mosquitos or bugs of any kind. Overall I had a fantastic stay, just what was need!!!

Os quartos são muito sujos. A casa de banho estava péssima. O telefone do quarto não funciona, reclamei e nunca arranjaram. Não conseguia comunicar com a receção.

It's a lovely resort to look at but on the second day of my holiday, I ate lunch at the Level pool - this was a 5 Star, all inclusive holiday and within an hour of eating lunch, I was feeling violently ill. I spent the next 24 hours with vomiting, Diarrhoea, fever, chills, nausea etc. and then went to see the on-site Dr. I spent 4 hours on a drip, and was discharged with medication for 3 further days The next few days, Thursday 13th to Saturday 15th, I was still under the weather, nausea and unable to eat properly, Sunday 16th, I still couldn't eat but felt a little better. I returned home on the 17th March but took another bad turn on the plan - essentially felt faint (did not faint) and and overheated, the air stewards gave me water and looked after me - the hotel assured me they had no other people sick, the air stewardess on my flight said there were three others that were sick - from the Melia Dunas! So they lied to me, would not apologise - said I could have left the resort, which I didn't do. My GP sent me for a battery of tests, which thankfully have come back clean - but two weeks on, I am still suffering with stomach issues. Avoid this resort at all costs!
