If you're thinking of staying here, I would say DON'T. This hotel is NOT 5* nor is it a 4. I would say it's a 3 at a push. We arrived just after 3pm and the room was not ready. The initial room we were given was 513 and the air conditioning did not work. That night, I suffered 100 mosquito bites. No joke. Not even lying. We went down to reception to ask if they would look at the a/c and they sent a maintenance man up to have a look. He said it was fixed when he changed it from 'cool' to 'fan'. This did not work and the room was still like a sauna. Asked again for someone to look at the unit where this time, 2 men turned up and said it needed gas. It doesn't need gas, it needs a whole new system! Wasn't happy as this a/c still wasn't working either so they upgraded us to a villa. The 1st villa, guess what? The a/c didn't workl! Finally, room 433 had working a/c. This room was bigger but it also came with ants in the bed. I get this is a tropical country but really?? The lamps didn't work, the TV had 4 channels and the batteries in thee rmotes had seen better days. I've ve come away lost weight, but also going home with diabetes and high blood pressure.

Für mich entsprach der Service keinem Fünf-Sterne-Standard, sondern war eher mittelmässig. Das beginnt bei den Zimmern, wo anstelle von Shampoo Handseife bereitgestellt war. Auch beim Check-in und bei den Liften gab es mehrere Punkte, die nicht überzeugt haben. Zusätzlich war der Lärm im Esssaal sehr hoch und könnte aus meiner Sicht durch eine Deckendämmung deutlich reduziert werden.

Koselig hotell, men bærer preg av behov for vedlikehold. Bassengområdet var lite og ganske bråkete. Bedre å være på stranda. Bassengområdet ved huset var liteninnbydende. Middagen i buffeen var god, men lunchen og frokosten var laber. Service nivået og maten på beach baren var fullstendig krise.

The staff were really friendly, especially Erica who went above and beyond — she was just so lovely and welcoming. We paid extra for birthday decorations for our mum’s room, and the team really went the extra mile to make it look beautiful, which made her day feel so special. I wouldn’t class the hotel as a 5*, more of a solid 4*, but I honestly couldn’t fault it and would definitely stay again if I came back to Cape Verde!

Wenn man gerne Party mag, kommt man auf seine Kosten. Für ruhigen Urlaub ist das Melia nichts. Eher bisschen ballermann Atmosphäre, liegt aber an den Kurzurlaubern aus Spanien und Portugal. Das Essen ist meistens abgekühlt, von der Auswahl aber gut. Es wird sich um viel Abwechslung bemüht und es ist alles da. Zimmer werden täglich geputzt, Sauberkeit ist trotzdem so ne Sache, es ist halt nicht wie in deutschen Resorts gründlich gesäubert. Die Anlage ist sehr schön und weitläufig, drumherum allerdings eher unsauber und ungepflegt. Das Personal ist ohne Ausnahme super nett und hilfsbereit! Insgesamt ok aber nicht wiederholenswert. Für den Preis bekommt man anderswo mehr Qualität

Didn’t realise our room would be next to building site. Staff nice, food and drink nice. Hotel looked dated and felt ‘not quite finished’. Blood stain on one of the blanket throws on the bed. Felt we were here for too short a stay (3 nights) to change rooms as we were told we could only change rooms the following day. Despite this we loved our short break.
