Check-in problems
When we arrive at 2 o'clock in the morning we discovered that we had no room there,even if we had booked in April and we had to go to another Melia resort in the nearby. we were very disappointed also for the standard of the premises that it is not at all a 5-star hotel, as you can see from the picture. We had to argue all the time with the respinsables to have 2 roomkeys (not available we had just one ), to enter the spa and to reserve restaurants. Luckily all the ordinary staff was very kind and available to help and find solutions. The other Melia Dunas has more facilities than Tortuga and the beach is fantastic. Overall holiday was nice but for sure there is a lot to improve
Maria Elisabetta, 7-night trip

2/10 Poor

Not 5 star as sold, at most 3 star and very disappointing.
Andrew, 7-night trip

6/10 Good

The atmosphere and landscaping looks really great. However, we couldn’t make reservations for dinner because they were always full, minutes after opening time. It was nearly impossible to get hot water in our villa so we took cold showers every night. Lastly, none of the bars would make any drinks without alcohol. For being “all inclusive” they only mean for people who drink alcohol. We stayed in a hotel in Praia that had burning hot water and was a fraction of the cost. I won’t be staying here again.

Trevligt boende, sämre mat
Bra läge och mysigt område med härlig grönska mellan husen. Miserabel Wi-Fi bara på 3 ställen på området, inget Wi-Fi i lägenheten. Fina poolområden. Bufferestaurangen var väldigt bullrig och maten var smaklös, fisk o kött var torrt och segt. Bokning krävdes för middagsrestaurangerna. Där var maten något bättre men långsam service. Trevlig personal men begränsad engelska. Rummen var trevliga men dåligt påfyllt med tvål m.m.

Nie wieder!
Die miesesten 5 Stunden unserer bisherigen Reiseerfahrung! Nicht zu empfehlen! Wir kamen um 13 Uhr ins Hotel, vor 15 Uhr wurde uns kein Zimmer zur Verfügung gestellt. = 2 Stunden warten. Aus Prinzip. Im Fitnessraum funktionierte keines der Geräte. Internet gibt es auf den Zimmern nicht. Personal unfreundlich.

2/10 Poor

WiFi is only available in the bar or pool area, not in room. Weak WiFi reception whenever it was available. Long wait time (2 hours) for dinner although reservation was made. You are required to make a dinner reservation however there was no availability to even make a reservation in advance as all restaurants were completely reserved. Housekeeping cleaning was incredibly poor. Trash was not taken out for days, small bugs crawling everywhere, same unclean sheets were being used to make the bed even though requested for new clean sheets. TV cable and phone service stopped working. There is an extra charge for pool/beach towels even with all inclusive. Overall a poor experience and one of the worst hotels I’ve ever stayed at.
