Good range of things on the buffet, but can't say they were particularly great. Eggs were a bit rubbery. Still, nice having the choices.

- at the latest after breakfast you need rest. it had felt 1000 people and ONE coffee machine! - check in took 10 minutes - the price for a night in this hotel is at least 50% too expensive. - the offer at breakfast is very weak
it was the last possibility to stay for a night. we didn't like it at all, sorry.

No iron in room was disappointing and lady on desk wouldn’t allow us to book it as too many people in queue for the only iron in hotel - had to buy one to throw away after. No kettle in room so had to buy own kettle which was also disappointing for the quality of rest of hotel.

“Avoid at all costs!”
- • Leisure trip
- • Family with young children

Having stayed in Melia Ria before we never expected to have such a terrible stay! On arrival there were only two (junior) people in the reception for everyone. After we got our key we went to the "SPA" where in its tiny pool there were swimming classes (?) for children! The facilities were dirty, the sauna did not work, the pool floor was loose... everything felt sloppy and definitely NOT 4 stars. We then went to our bedroom and realized the window did not close! This was around 19:30 We called the reception, waited... someone came and could not fix it! My wife is pregnant so we asked that the room we would be moved into to be quite (there was a party nearby at the time). After way too long we get a new room. We get to the new room and there are 3 single beds (?!?). We explicitly asked for a big bed for my wife comfort! We said we wished a larger bed and got replied that they had no rooms int the quiet side of the hotel with large beds. We are again moved to another room after way too much time (remember there were only two people in the reception? They were also the only people who could fix our room changes and were overwhelmed with guests in the reception). At 20:30, finally, we get to the new room with a big bed but so much noise!!!! You could hear the music from the party outside clearly, and there was no way we would get a proper rest! We had enough! I went down and left before the night was even over! Headed to the reception to checkout without even having stayed in and all I heard was "Oh, sorry... we cannot give your money back"! Bear I mind I did not even ask for the money back I just wanted to get out of there as fast as possible. Made a reservation on the fly at Montebelo Vista Alegre Hotel and SPA! I recommend that you stay there instead! Such a shame! We really liked this hotel!
Leaving!
