Melia Dunas Beach Resort & Spa

Fantástico!

Rooms in the ground floors are full of mosquitos which tormented our family during the entire stay. Bath tub/shower does not have the proper set up so every time you shower the water goes all over the floor which made it extremely unsafe. My family slipped and fell couple of times. Water comes up on the tub while showering because the drain systems are all messed up and dirty leaving gross residue in the bath tub while still in showering. The facilities never had towels in the pool. If 100 people needed towels they only had towels for 20. I personally could never get pool towels our entire stay. Everyday was the same excuse. They ran out of towels. House keeping came to clean rooms only after we complained. Most of us went 3 days without housekeeping services or towels. Upon arrival the floors were filthy black. It was never washed between guests.Telephone in the room never worked for us to call the front desk or anything else. There were about 70 of us throught the resort on a family wedding and majority experienced similar issues. Rooms does not have iron and when you asked for one they take it back before you even get to use it. Hair dryer is the oldest and most dysfunctional I have ever used. THEY MESSED UP OUR ROOMS ASSIGNMENT SO BAD, PLACING US IN ONE ROOM, BUT RECORDED US IN A DIFFERENT ROOM CAUSING CHAOS DURING CHECKOUT. The resort is huge and beautiful, but it lacks management and services terrible. So many young workers with NO SUPPLIES AND DIRECTIONS

Where do I start? Holiday from hell... The website online was very deceiving. All inclusive 5 star hotel - no, not at all. More like a 2 star at best. The island believes in 'No Stress' yes this is true for them but it was very stressful for us. In our group we had 4 strict vegetarians (that ate eggs) but the restaurants including the buffet did not cater for us. Throughout our stay, we had to eat chips and pizza everyday for every meal. What made matters worst was they have a so called booking system for their a la carte restaurants, but you can never find a booking online... When we managed to get a booking for the restaurants and asked if some of the main courses could exclude the meat option and just have the standard vegetables, we were told no. One of the restaurants Rancho, had a vegetarian taco starter and when we asked to order 2 per person, as each dish only had ONE taco, we were told no, this can't be done. There was no apology or alternative offered except a chuckle from the waitress 'oh you're vegetarian, hahaha'.. DISAPPOINTING! The website and ******* both state an indian cuisine restaurant, Sahel (which you'd assume can cater for vegetarians as this cuisine is mainly vegetarian) but when we arrived, this restaurant did not exist - how shambolic! It was a meat restaurant of African cuisine. The staff are not helpful at all, they act like it's a chore to speak to you. The hotel is infested with mosquitos and we were bitten alive by them - be warned.

Music was very loud and the food in the buffet was atrocious. The food wasn’t covered in the level lounge and the flies were all over the food. The hotel furniture and rooms are very tired. The staff were lovely and very helpful so much so we moved hotel! The sand flies and mosquitos were quite bad, plenty of deet needed!

This is not a 5* hotel. It is very obvious that the hotel does not maintain a large proprotion of their facilities. I had to change rooms 3 times due to a balcony door that would not shut, no working phones in the room (which meant having to walk back and forth to reception in a massive resort) and general uncleanliness of the rooms (mold in the bathroom, and walls stained with squashed insects by previous guests). I also complained about my air conditioning blowing hit air which took more than 24hours to fix. The food options were very poor and some food items I was served were inedible. The poor service also extends to the staff, though some are polite on approach, they are very indifferent and issues are not sorted in a timely way. I would not stay here again. My stay was so poor I checked out early to stay in a different hotel.

The rooms are old furnished, with broken tiles and litteraly full of mosquitoes as there are no mosquitoes nets at the windows. The bathroom has a bath tub with a non-inviting colour and some mold and not even an handle for the hand-towel next to the sink. Very bad isolation as well. The food quality is really poor (a la carte gets a bit better, but not always). The staff is not well trained and gives continuously wrong information and directions. When at the beach, you get endlessly asked to buy souvenires and you can't really bathe in the sea because of the rocks. Not a 5 Stars Resort. A nightmare. Never again.
