Melia, Gran Canaria hotels

"Excellent hotel - a tranquil oasis in the city. Pleasant environment with friendly and helpful staff. The '1890' restaurant was the only disappointment - merely adequate and less refined than the rest of the hotel."

"Beautiful property, excellent service, clean comfortable room, and great breakfast bar. Go early to avoid overcrowding!"

"Great all inclusive hotel with option to have half board. Great variety of foods on offer. Lots of activities for all ages. Most staff are helpful. Fresh bottled water every day."

"Excellent experience, lovely welcome, good breakfast, plenty of sunloungers, quiet area separate from kids area, good food options in pool bars, highly recommend"

"Fab hotel - lovely and quiet, central location & we hope to return in the future!"

"The hotel was very large and had a lot of facilities. There were several pools and to a decent depth. The cleaning staff, especially Inma, were all delightful and did a great job. They even let me practice my Spanish with them! The arcade was good fun and open quite late of an evening. The breakfast was varied and well-cooked. Breakfast included is a must! You get a wrist band to show the staff what you are entitled to. One of the best things about the stay was the transport links. There's a bus stop almost immediately outside the front of the hotel (1 min walk if you want to be specific). You can get to the whole island that way. "

"Fine hotel. Professional and friendly staff. Good and professional entertainment. Good food."

"Return visit to a wonderful hotel with two great pools overlooking the ocean. "

"I'd read on trip advisor that there was terrible food poisoning etc! Rubbish, they might have had a norovirus bug in the hotel but staff made every effort with sanitisers at meal times to eliminate this, although we never spoke to anyone who was affected. Food was lovely & varied, no complaints. I was here for my friends 60th, as I found it, all the staff I came across were amazing. Salvador in the main restaurant who works mornings & evenings was brilliant when we wanted to organise a cake we had to bring our own as hotel need 48hrs (for info), to supply one. He kept it cool for us & made sure staff brought it out at correct time. All rooms sea view & west facing so you get the sunset. My only downside is the entertainment at night, its very basic/boring, thats my only complaint, Riu liven the entertainment up! We may be middle aged but people love 'Good Music'."
