Melia Buenavista Strand

We stayed 8 nights. The beaches are absolutely amazing. The location is a dream. The hotel itself needs a renovation, urgently. The whole place is very old, the rooms are old as well, but they are okay. Towels, bed sheets etc. often have stains and appear to be dirty. The service quality is okay, the men working at the beaches are very kind, drinks are served every 30 min, absolutely nothing to complain about. The service at the restaurants is worse, some of the waiters are friendly and eager to work, some just walk around, without any motivation or an eye for their guests. The worst of all, and the reason why I am giving 2/5 stars, is the food: it is just bad. Sometimes we were wondering, how a hotel can dare serving food like that. At some evenings we were just totally disgusted. And to be honest, people in the review section stating the food was delicious, are either bribed or disabled, taste wise.

We had a wonderful stay at Melia Buenavista! The beaches here are absolutely breathtaking! What's remarkable is that there are three distinct beaches— the one for the sunsets was my favourite, especially with the sunset ritual music put on by Marcos! The hotel staff is exceptionally welcoming and accommodating, always with a warm smile. And then there's the Entertainment Team, who truly steal the show! Marcos, Navy and Andrenxon Coll are all great! Whether it's dance classes, yoga sessions on the sea platform, or invigorating aqua gym sessions, there's never a dull moment! Marcos truly shines with his exceptional salsa classes and his genuine kindness, always making us feel right at home and spreading his infectious happiness. I wholeheartedly recommend this resort to everyone!

Animation team of Anderson, Marcos and Navi were amazing. Made everything very fun we did the salsa lessons and the aqua gym at the pool every day. The resort and views were amazing. Our room overlooking the ocean was breathtaking. The food and snack bar was amazing. They had pizza, hamburger and hotdogs everyday day. The pizza dough was made in house every morning. 3 private beaches that had great views. Lots of washed up coral and shells to look for if you love walking the beaches.

Had an amazing experience at Meliá Buenavista. Everything was perfect, the room, the views, the personalised service and the food. Since it's an adult only hotel it's extremely quiet and peaceful. However, there's a great animation team with bachata and salsa classes, yoga on the beach, live music etc. A special shout-out to Andrexon, from the animation team, who did his best to make our stay enjoyable. We will definitely come back!

We had the pleasure of spending 10 days at this resort last year and can’t wait to return. We recommended to friends and they loved it as much as we did. The staff all work tirelessly especially the “animation team” and a shout out to Andrenxon who went out of his way to educate us on the marine life, keep us laughing, and helped with our mutual love of sharing language. I picked up some extra Spanish words and some great dance moves!
