We have recently returned from 2 weeks at the Melia and completely agree with all of the comments regarding the disappointing food. There is not a lot we can add on the subject but to say that until a self catering option is available we wouldn't recommend this hotel. On the plus side the hotel is in a beautiful location,...

We too went to the Melia Atlantico on the 5th May and stayed till the 16th yet we were only offered £40 each , this seems very unfair when others have got £50 for only 1 week, I will have to get in touch with Thomsons. The hotel itself is lovely and the situation really nice, the Housekeeping staff great... More

Melia Atlantico; Thomson Platinum? 2nd May to 16th May 2013 (half board) The only platinum standard Thomson have at this hotel is their rep:- Eileen, who was probably chosen due to her ability to smooth over the shambolic re-opening of the re-branded Rui Atlantico. We had never been to Isla Canela, Spanish friends recommended the area, and the reviews by... More

We arrived at the hotel on Sunday 5 May and left on Sunday 12 May and did not have the best holiday. That said I am inclined to be hopeful that they are just having teething problems. It is to be hoped that all the people who left on Thursday 9 May have been contacted by Thompson and also received... More

I stayed for two weeks and complained constantly about the food. After the first week things did start to improve slightly but they still didn't get it right. Food was generally not heated, or kept at the right temperature during service. The choice of food was poor for the first week but that did improve during the second week. If... More

Oh dear, I feel pretty bad about even writing this and I hope that the staff don't take it personally. It is without doubt a management issue.

The Melia Atlantico has a lot going for it. Nestled between a small marina and a superb sandy beach the Melia could be a holiday makers’ paradise. But sadly the hotel’s recent transfer from a Riu franchise to a Melia franchise has made this resort a less attractive holiday destination. Here are the reasons why. The main one is the... More
