Nice resort style hotel. Excellent pool. Close to zahara. Decent gym. Breakfast great. A couple of annoying things: 1. Parking cost 20 euro per day. This is a lot in my opinion. Plenty of parking options just outside of the hotel. No one mentioned the cost of parking to us on arrival. 2. Costs of drinks at the bar. A tiny bottle of water and a soft drink was 7.40. Feels expensive. The have “special” beds around the pool that are almost always empty yet they are taking a lot of prime space. Personally I am not a big fan of dividing hotel guests into different classes when all staying in the same hotel. But for some this might be a plus. Those are small things. Overall the hotel is lovely and rooms are decent size and the facilities are very good

2/10 Poor

Worst experience ever. They keep asking for a printed Bono that we never had with Expedia. They refuse to give us our Gold member upgrade even when they have rooms available. We didn’t get the kind of room we payed for and my daughter (adult) slept in a child’s bed, but this is EXPEDIAS FAULT, the hotel doesn’t have 2 queen beds rooms. The hotel is extremely noisy and they left towels with holes on it in our bathroom. When we were checking out they ask again for a proof of payment, after I had emailed them the receipt. We felt very uncomfortable . I wouldn’t recommend this place.

Vår familie liker veldig godt hotellkjeden Meliá. Vi har bodd på flere av deres hoteller i ulike byer, og vi gir bare de beste tilbakemeldingene om tjenestene som tilbys. Personalet er rett og slett fantastisk, og maten som serveres er av god kvalitet og variert. Meliá Zahara Resort & Villas imponerte med sin ytre arkitektur – at en sånn hotellperle finnes i en så liten landsby ved havet, er virkelig bemerkelsesverdig. For dem som setter pris på en god balanse mellom pris og kvalitet, er Meliá-hoteller et godt valg.

Hotel club avec beaucoup d enfants donc beaucoup de bruit. Belle piscine . Chambre classique . Reste cher 400€ la nuit pour la prestation . Pas de parking propre à l hotel seulement 40mns gratuites pour la dépose des valises, le tarif du parking municipal est du coup exorbitant des lors que vous rentrez et sortez cela vaut le coup de se garer dehors

Level o todo incluido?

Una experiencia muy grata. Teníamos El Level y ha sido lo menos grato dado que la tranquilidad brillo por su ausencia. Familias con niños pequeños lo utlizaban casi todo el tiempo como si fuera un todo incluido. Sera un servicio que por muy bueno que sea no volvería a contratar.

El hotel está bastante bien. La experiencia es muy agradable pero tiene dos peros. Es un muy buen 4 estrellas pero a precio de 5. Y sobre todo la comida. Malísima. No se entiende. Verdaderamente mala. Deberían esforzarse porque no es normal que ni una ensalada está buena, ni la pasta, carnes frías... En fin... Por lo demás hotel muy agradable y buen situado
