Reviews
We really enjoyed our week here. Staff are extremely friendly and helpful and if you need anything you only have to ask. The grounds and beach are beautiful and we always found something to eat at the buffet. Only reason I didn’t give the rooms 5 stars is because the beds are hard!!!! We were informed by another couple that we could have requested a mattress topper. I would definitely recommend doing this as by the end of the week we were both suffering. Entertainment of an evening is a bit lacking but if you’re looking for a nice relaxing holiday this is a great place to have it. We would definitely return.
We had an amazing stay at Melia Llana Resort. The hotel is beautiful, the rooms were always clean and comfortable, and the staff were incredibly friendly and welcoming. A special thank you to Luis and Jairson from the cocktail bar. They both speak excellent English and always made us feel comfortable and welcome. Their positive energy and professionalism really made our holiday even more enjoyable. Luis makes the best cocktails in the resort – every drink was perfectly made and delicious! We always looked forward to visiting the bar because of the great service and friendly atmosphere they created. Thank you to the entire team for such a wonderful experience. We can’t wait to come back!
A very last minute booking & did not disappoint. A fantastic hotel, with lovely staff & wonderful food. Buffet choice & variety was great. Choice of other restaurants on site, all lovely. Special mention to Nelson at the buffet restaurant who delivered a warm greeting with big smile every morning & dinner time. And to the poolside bar staff Marley & Maxwell for keeping the wonderful drinks flowing. A wonderfully designed layout, plenty of places to sit/drink/relax & spacious pool areas so never feels too busy.
Firstly we were anxious about coming here due to some negative reviews stating the hotel is outdated, beds hard etc. However, we are over the moon with our experience and so pleased we pursued. The location was perfect, being a short drive from the airport, we thought the resort was stunning, with so many entertainment options throughout day and night. The food was delicious, with great options from the buffet and other restaurants. The cocktail were lush and plentiful. The thing that stood out over everything else was how completely charming all the staff were ( who seem to be all local Islanders). The customer service was top class and everything came with a smile. We will definitely be returning and the main reason for this is down to how the staff interacted, bubbly, happy, keen to help and always keen to ensure we got the most out of our holiday. Added to this was the entertainment, which never seemed to stop, as well as some brilliant local trips, such as shark bay. We would thoroughly recommend and can't wait for our return.
This hotel was spotlessly clean, really welcoming staff going above and beyond to learn all about your prefereces (bar staff knew what I wanted before I did !!) beautiful location, plenty to eat for a fussy veggie diet ( thought I may starve). Cannot fault this holiday or hotel in any way. Recommend learning about Cape Verde and how tourism is having both positive and negative impacts ! Beautiful place and beautiful people.❤️
