We had a wonderful family holiday at this hotel, enjoying the beautiful beach and spacious, safe grounds. The variety of food was impressive, and the staff were exceptionally friendly and attentive. However, the noise from young children in the restaurant was a downside for us, and the Wi-Fi could really use an upgrade.

We just enjoyed a fantastic family week at Meli Palace! The hotel offers a delightful family-friendly atmosphere with plenty to keep both kids and adults entertained. Our room had a lovely view, but it was a bit snug for our family of four. While the dining experience was superb, with various delicious options, the entertainment in the evenings was enjoyable but somewhat standard.
Rooms

Our family room was well-designed with a king-size bed and bunk beds for the kids, but it felt slightly cramped for four people.
