Melia truly takes things to the next level in terms of comfort, location, food, and space. We stayed in a two-bedroom villa with the All-Inclusive option, and the experience was mostly excellent.
The villa was enormousâeasily spacious enough to host a large gathering. It was equipped with everything we could possibly need, and the private pool was a fantastic touch. It meant we didnât need to head to the main pool or beach just to cool off, which added a lot of convenience and privacy to our stay.
Dining at Melia was another highlight. The food quality was consistently high, especially the meats and seafood, which were always fresh and plentiful.
However, the All-Inclusive package left us a bit puzzled. Many drinks required either an upgrade to a higher tier or an out-of-pocket payment, even if they were listed on the standard menu. The same drink might be free in one spot but chargeable in another, and some beach areas and minibar items also came at an extra cost. For what we paidâ$1,000 AUD per night for a family of threeâwe expected a more genuinely all-inclusive experience.
Melia offers a rich program of activities. We particularly enjoyed the yoga classes with Vani, who was both professional and attentive. She adapted each session to the abilities of the guests and even took some great photos to share with us.
Overall, our stay was memorable and enjoyable, though a clearer and more inclusive approach to the All-Inclusive offering would elevate the experience further
