Melia Llana Beach Resort & Spa

Enjoying the Safira Pool bar. Kassandra who worked behind the bar was there every day, and despite being really busy and on her feet all day, was always happy and smiling and chatty.She went out of her way to make some extra cocktails to try while we sat at the bar. Great service

We were very enthousiastic about the riviera snackbar. The food was very good, and we were very happy with the waitress, her name is Elida Silva Bor. She realy made us feel very special and welcome ! You can realy see that she likes her job and wants to give the People a good feeding!

Staff The staff activities are exceptional, they are organised by a wonderful team led by Cristiano, Edmara, Mayaran, Tissiana and Rui. We had such a great time so massive thank you for making our stay that much better whilst we were being here. Would also like to share our appreciation for the food service as well, and the friendly people at the Snack Bar - Nicole you are a diamond :) Also Daniel is one of the Senior Restaurant Staff - he is a really humble and wonderful person, and will always smile and try to help you with your cuisine requirements. The Hotel is perfect for an adults only holiday.

The hotel itself is deceptively very, very big. We didn’t see any elevators, only stairs and so I don’t think (although there are ramps) it’s disabled person friendly. The hotel itself is not a 5 star, in my partners and my personal opinion as two people from England, but more likely a 4 star. I did hear that Rui Palace is more promising. I MUST say though, the staff are very accepting and welcoming of the stray cats at the hotel. They’re never shooed off or mistreated at the hotel from what we saw and more often than not you’d see a cat on a sun lounger dosing or other guests (myself included) sneaking food for them. I’ve included a picture of one of the friendliest cats (both I’ve met in and out of the UK! Bless him). If you do see the cats please treat them nicely, they’re harmless little things. 🐱 There is a dogs home within walking distance; I couldn’t go as my heart can’t take it and I would come away with more than one dog if I visited but please keep it in mind to pop in. It is called OSPA in Sal. 🐶 The good things of the hotel: 2 pools cleaned regularly 2 eateries Lots of (very comfy!) sun beds Plenty of places to sit in the day Well kept greenery and grounds 🌟 The staff are AMAZING. They’re a true attribute to the hotel itself and I hope the management team are appreciative. They work so, so hard. They’re always friendly, warm and carry themselves beautifully. Always very smart, never chattering away but always attentive to your needs. A special shout out to Ann Paula, Daniel and Esmael at Mosaico. Another guy, who brought us coffee whose name I didn’t catch, also very good. Paulo and Carla at the Azul bar were very very pleasant and welcoming. Alex at the snack bar was super attentive and friendly, very happy! Tissania was one of the young entertainers at the hotel, she was always busy up and about trying to get people involved. Darlene at Yhi Spa, I hope she gets what she wants one day but she was really pleasant. I had a manicure and even though she wasn’t confident in her English, it was very good!! Special thanks to Sidney; he let us know extended our room to 2pm and managed to enable this to happen despite arrivals. It was very, very appreciated. Thank you!! 🌟 Please pass on our gratitude and thanks to the staff. They work hard, they should know it’s appreciated. They’re so, so polite and hard working. A credit to the hotel. The pools are lovely, very well maintained, clean and the pool areas. The beach, don’t buy anything from the guys there! Save your money. They will tell you a few tales but I wouldn’t buy anything again. I got a hippo off a man in a checkered shirt, it had a wonky leg and the black dye has come off!! The beach is BEAUTIFUL. Transparent sea, white sand, clean! A few yards walk from the hotel itself, huge bonus! 🏝️ The not so good things: The cleanliness isn’t amazing around where the hotel rooms are. We reported a mauled bird nearing where our room is, it was still there that evening and the next

Beach room - looked a bit tired, bed fabulous, plenty of room. Bathroom- shower good but drainage poor. Staff - without exception, everyone polite and helpful. Nothing too much trouble. Some uniforms looked tired. Company could provide new. Pools and bar areas- look tired. Tiling coming away from pool walls. Too close to other hotel. Lots of noise that echoed throughout. Music OK but too much Bob Marley. I shot the sherif should only been listened too at the very most twice. Animation team - fabulous. However imassuming that their budget for equipment and costumes is at the best poor. Food- very difficult. Large numbers. Different nationalities. Imported. It was OK. I would reccomend the BBQ evening. But not pasta evening. Shops & hairdressers good. Not great variety of goods though. Cleanliness- very good. Housekeeping do an excellent job for little wage. Restaurant staff - also fabulous. Beach and bikini beach bar - lovely. Bar dated and tired but banging tunes. All in all a good two week break, relaxing and vitamin d is in ubundance. I'm very sure that it's proberbly the staff that made this holiday great but the chain needs to think about making thus 4* fresh and exciting again. Beware of rouge taxi drivers. Always check your change and if in doubt, call the police. The threat often makes the taxi drivers fess up.

Amazing hotel , great staff especially Cristino is so friendly and the shows and activities are brilliant Thanks loads to him and the others . Definitely come back hotel is so peaceful loved everything about this place Beaches are stunning

Did a 7 night stay at Melia Llana which was lovely, it was very clean, the staff were super friendly and there was so much choice for food you couldn't really fault it you could always find something to eat and the sushi night was very good. Only gripes would be cocktails are too sweet but that's personal preference and they probably needed more staff at the bar sometimes when it got busy also the gym didn't have the same equipment as listed on the website no running machines. Lovely stay

My girlfriend and I spend 5 nights in Melia Llana and everything was awesome. The staff was very kind, and always ready to help us whit anything. The animation team are very talented, Cristiano and Mayara always spreading good energy around the hotel, they should receive a raise for sure. The pool bar is awesome too whit Kassandra making the best cocktails. I recommend everyone too spend where a few days.
