"Very bad very bad. This hotel obviously gave us cash, but when we checked out, we were told that we didn't pay. Asking to pay again felt like it was stressing the hotel and wasting us 40 minutes! ! ! horrible! ! !"

"It was fantastic again. A sea-view room right on the boulevard. Delicious food and a fantastic wellness center and sauna. The personal service is a reason for many people to return. See you soon."

"Environment: Very good Facilities: Generally good, but the lack of a sauna is the only drawback Service: Good Hygiene: Very clean A lot of food around, very close to the beach, very delicious breakfast, overall very good"

"The accommodation was very clean and the staff very accommodating! :)"

"Wonderful hotel. Everything was perfect. I will recommend it to family and friends."

"Wonderful, fantastic, exceptional. Relaxing."

"Our couple stayed at a RIU hotel chain property for the first time. This is an amazing hotel. At check-in we were treated to champagne and given a room even before the official check-in time. We really liked the comfortable balcony, the spacious room, and the huge shower area. The restaurant served incredibly tasty food, we especially enjoyed the choice of jamón. The polite service from the waiters, the incredibly delicious food — we had a wonderful time, relaxed, and want to come back here again and again."

"A fabulous place to stay! Perfect location on the beach, easy walking distance to restaurants and 25 mins from airport. We had a swimming pool room and it was perfect - comfy king bed and sunbed over the swim up pool. Breakfast on the roof terrace was delicious and overlooked the beach. The best thing was the welcome and service from Malin, Graziela and Rita. Personal, professional and friendly. We plan to return!"

"We recently stayed at Riu Palace Meloneras and had a mixed experience. The biggest positive is the location. It’s excellent, with plenty of restaurants nearby and the promenade right next to the hotel, making it perfect for walks along the coast and exploring the area. The food was generally good with a decent selection, although I felt it was slightly below the standard I’ve experienced at other Riu hotels. One thing to be aware of is the atmosphere. During our stay, the hotel was largely occupied by German and Dutch pensioners, so it wasn’t particularly family-friendly or lively. By around 10:30 pm, the hotel became very quiet, which may suit some guests but wasn’t what we were looking for. The biggest disappointment was the sunbed situation. I’ve never had to wake up at 6:50 am on holiday just to reserve a sunbed. It felt like a daily competition, and it’s embarrassing that this seems to be accepted rather than managed by the hotel. Another major downside was the smoking policy. Smoking is actively permitted around the pool and swimming areas, which made relaxing difficult. As a non-smoker, I found it unpleasant and unhealthy, and it often made us leave the pool area sooner than we wanted. If you’re sensitive to cigarette smoke, this is definitely something to consider before booking. Finally, the cocktails were disappointing and lacked quality. I’d recommend ordering a simple spirit such as whisky or gin and mixing it with your preferred soft drink instead, as you’ll probably avoid a lot of disappointment. Overall, the fantastic location is the hotel’s strongest asset, but the sunbed competition, smoking around the pools, quiet atmosphere, and mediocre cocktails mean this wasn’t one of our favourite Riu experiences."
