Melia Hotel is divided into Melia Dunas and Sol Dunas, both of which belong to Melia. In the same place, the facilities are shared one after the other, but Sol guests can go to Melia for dining and vice versa. The hotels are all white. There are no descent, it can be said that almost all the hotels in Cape Verde are like this, and most of them are white elderly couples, not many young people, singles are not, and you do n’t need to think about looking for a chance. The room is large and comfortable, the disadvantage is that there are many mosquitoes. After check out, you can still enjoy all the facilities and have a bathroom and a dressing room. One price all-inclusive buffet type is OK, not a lot. The service is very good, you have to answer questions. More recommended hotel near Santa Maria Beach in the south, it's so beautiful!

Just returned from 10 days stay at the Riu Palace Santa Maria and what can I say other “this hotel has something for everyone” Excellent choice of food and great quality too along with a great choice of branded drinks . We managed to book into three of the four niche restaurants which were all good but food in main restaurant was of equal standard .Staff were all very welcoming and hotel although huge is very well maintained from room cleanliness to the gardens. No need to rush for sun beds there are hundreds and also easy acces to the wonderful beach which you also have use of sun-beds there if required.We are not massive hotel evening entertainment fans however even this was of a very high standard and if want a party the themed. White and neon nights are hard to beat.

All in all a nice week in the sun at a resort where you need to manage your expectations. Who this is good for: those looking for some sunshine, good beach, nice pool, and a no hassle/frills all inclusive break. Who this is not so good for: those who want a quieter resort, more relaxed, and finer dining experiences. (Generally we prefer this option) Some of the good points: the staff are friendly, kind and helpful; it’s a nice place to get some sun - the pool is nice (but busy) as is the beach (quieter in places but loungers tired and some broken); the food has a good variety (including for veggies) though mixed quality, drinks variety good; the entertainment is a little hit and miss - the white night was good fun - but note children from the adjoining hotel are welcome; there are places to enjoy a quieter drink but these spots can also be quite popular. The rooms are not grand but they are clean and the shower is good - we can’t complain about the service here with room service several times a day; the spa treatment was nice and we made the most of the weekly offer they had available; there are also some good activities offsite at a reasonable charge if you want to mix things up. A few things to improve: flies and wasps at steakhouse; better segregation between smoking and non-smoking would be welcome; some of the facilities are tired but they function; the tv in the room didn’t have the best sound / reception; the beach loungers need an upgrade as many are tired / broken; a few quieter areas and activities through the day (away from the pool) would be nice as the grounds are large and well kept. A few hints and tips if you visit: The pool gets busy so you need your get a bed early; remember to book the restaurants early in your stay; dining at the main restaurant during the day is nicer than the steakhouse; if you want to use the spa remember to book; eat later to avoid the mad rush; remember your white outfit if you want to join in white night; pop to the beach (though not adults only) as the bar there is nice and a welcome mix up from the more popular pool area.

The official rating of this hotel is 4 stars, and with a bit of cosmetic upgrading and better staffing in the kitchen, I could see it reaching that level (it seems like it may have once been a real 4 star). As it was, the room quality itself was more 3 star, and the outside area was 4 stars. We had a 'deluxe sea view' with no terrace. There was lots of rough paintwork and lack of maintenance on the small details in the rooms, but overall it was fine, with a huge comfy bed and a nice shower and a lovely view out the window. Unfortunately the entry was at the street side of the hotel which was our smoking area, and that view was just the dirt road and some houses. Overall we would stay here again as the room was fine, the staff were great, the pool area was amazing, nobody had any screaming kids (very quiet and peaceful, great for couples) and while the beach required stepping over rocks, it also had the best snorkeling area with the most fish. Another sandy beach with less fish and two beach bars is a 3 minute walk away, and the main ***** with the main beach is a 10 minute walk (that one is useless for snorkeling but great for swimming). Besides snorkeling, it's also a preferred spot for wind surfing. We happened to try the hotel restaurant on a really bad night apparently, we waited an hour for our seafood paella which was average quality but double the price of the ***** restaurants. However, according to the other patrons who did all inclusive, the service was usually much faster. and the food usually much better. We did also have burgers for lunch one day, and those were expensive but very nice. Breakfast was included in our stay and it had an extensive and delicious continental selection, plus hot eggs and bacon on order, always very fast. The staff were super attentive and completely on their game, absolutely fantastic service. We got a great deal on a package holiday with LoveHolidays, so for the price we were very happy and would definitely stay again.

It was perfect holiday. Ocean suites is good mix of interesting design and local culture. Perfect location. We are 3 friends used room 7 Sal suite. It was big enough, clean and comfy. Perfect service. Friendly and attentive stuff, especially for breakfast. I love these lazy mornings, you will feel like you are only one and the main guest in the hotel. The restaurant works all day, we had dinner a few times there. All food was very tasty (tried mix of seafood, royal seafood pizza, risotto with seafood, pasta with seafood). Music every night till 24:00, everybody dancing even all stuff dancing. It's special sharm. Love it. Highly recommend Ocean suites for adult and active tourists.

Super clean hotel with the most amazing staff. Breakfast didnt have a lot of vegetarian options but it was okay. The hotel is situated in a local area which was amazing. Thank you for making our stay amazing! Hope to see you again in the future! 3 girls from Holland :)
