A nice trip at a tired resort

, Whitby, ON
2023-07-24
Although, we did enjoy our stay as a family, the resort was quite "tired." The grounds are beautiful and well-kept, but the facilities need a facelift. The 4 onsite restaurants were good, Mizu and Aqua for dinner were very nice, Gabi Club (Buffet) and Hydrogrill were fine for breakfast and lunch. For the most part, service was good. Restaurant, staff and servers were kind and attentive, but the English language was a barrier for communication. Administration and management were helpful when called upon. Our concierge, Emmanual Villa was absolutely lovely! Our Garden Master Swim-Up Suite was perfect for our family. The room needs some updating as it aesthetically looked very tired and worn. Be advised that the focus of the resort centres around the newly renovated Falcon Resort. You will have access to all the Falcon facilities, restaurants, and nightlife, but you will need to shuttle back and forth. If you want to go to the beach, this requires a shuttle ride as well. We learned that the Garden Suites at Melia are due to be renovated (demolished) in October/November 2023. [Details]

Dear Guest, Thank you for sharing your feedback. We appreciate it. We are thrilled to hear that you found our Garden Master Swim-Up Suite perfect for your family and that our staff, particularly Emmanual Villa, provided attentive and kind service. It's also great to know that you enjoyed the variety of dining experiences at Mizu and Aqua. We take great pride in the beauty of our grounds and are glad you appreciated them. We acknowledge your comments regarding the resort's appearance and understand that. While we strive for excellence, there is always room for improvement. We are excited to inform you that we are indeed planning renovations to enhance our guest experience further. The access to the facilities and restaurants at the neighboring Falcon Resort is a bonus we are proud to offer, and we hope you found the shuttle service convenient for your travels to the beach and around the resort. We all hope to welcome you back for your next visit. Best regards, Your Garden Suites by Meliá Team.

Paradisus Palma Real - The Reserve

, Georgetown, HA
2017-03-19
If you want ambiance, peace & tranquility in a contemporary clean setting this is a perfect resort. Great night shows and ambuance. The Reserve is perfect if you have small kids but it's far away from beach. Food & Service were way below average compared to other islands. It's NOT a place for foodies or those that want service with attention to detail [Details]

Travelled Sept 21-28 w my 2 year old and 4 adults. First time visiting w a child, but have been here on 3 previous occasions.
As usual service, food, pool and rooms were wonderful.
I will return again.
Was pleasantly surprised how much the resort caters to children. So many options of things to do - my son had a great time. [Details]

Beautiful Resort

, Ancaster, ON
2014-01-29
Excellent food, gorgeous facility and fantastic room. The kids club was great and the staff was fantastic with the girls. Great service in restaurants, bars, the wellness centre and in the cleaning staff. The only downside was that we arrived late due to flight delays and there wasn't a concierge that found us to show us around the resort and contact us through out the week to ensure we were comfortable as other patrons had. As a result, it took us a few days to get acquainted with the resort and we had to make our own arrangements for reservations at the restaurants. Not a big deal, but just more annoying. Great restaurants and all round a very relaxing family holiday. [Details]

The weak points
We were late arriving so there was no concierge dedicated to us that ever contacted us. We had to organize our own reservations and didn't get an initial tour around the resort as others did. It took us a few days to get settled as a result.

Good but won't go back again

, Brossard, QC
2013-04-26
The hotel is beautiful, great room, awesome view, private swimming pool was amazing for our one year old daughter. However, the staff were not very responsive (we asked to rent a car, their answer was you have to go to the rental station and asked yourself, this is just one of the examples), beach was beautiful but a bit dirty, food was okay not great. Overall, it is a nice hotel but we won't go back again. [Details]
