I had a wonderful stay at the hotel! The rooms were quiet and comfortable, with an exotic open-air shower that added a romantic touch. The staff was incredibly friendly and always made us feel like part of a big family. The location was unique with its entertainment arena and long beach, perfect for relaxing walks. However, the dining options were a bit repetitive and lacked seafood, which was a downside.

Staying at Melia for 10 days with 'The Level' package overlooking the Indian Ocean was a luxury beyond imagination. The privacy and three bathrooms added an extra dose of extravagance to the experience. The service provided seemed a bit disconnected at times, especially regarding pricing discrepancies for upgrades, but the staff's eagerness to ensure a memorable stay and share insights about the island and its culture was evident.

The hotel offers a partial sea view, though the rooms are outdated, especially the bathrooms. They could be more clean given the price and status of the hotel. The rooms are far from each other and spaced evenly, with some insect issues.

The hotel offers spacious rooms with comfy beds, though they can be a bit dated and in need of a refresh. The outdoor showers, while a nice touch, could lead to some unwanted insect visitors. The service is incredibly friendly and welcoming, making for a pleasant stay. The location, though unique with its beach access, may not be ideal for all activities. The dining options are sufficient, with a focus on all-inclusive packages. Overall, the hotel needs some renovation and improvement in cleanliness for the price it commands.

Staying at this hotel was a mixed experience. The rooms, while clean, were showing signs of age and were not up to the usual European 5-star standards, especially the bathrooms. On the positive side, the service was exceptional, with helpful and smiling staff making every effort to ensure a pleasant stay. The location, set on 54 hectares of beachfront, provided a serene and convenient atmosphere for relaxation, but the distance of some rooms from the reception might lead to waiting times for transportation.
