"We stayed here on a family vacation (2 adults and 2 kids under 10), and the experience completely exceeded our expectations. The resort easily delivers an upscale 4-star experience, offering a fantastic environment for a well-rounded trip.
The Room and Comfort
We had originally booked a "Big Family" room, but upon check-in, the front desk offered us the option to switch to a room that, while slightly smaller, had a much better layout. It turned out to be a genuine upgrade. The room was spacious, super comfortable, and featured a massive balcony with side ocean views of the Mediterranean. It came with two single beds and a pull-out sofa bed. Both were extremely comfortable and made for a great night's sleep. The soundproofing was very good (we had very peaceful nights), and the AC consistently kept the room at the perfect temperature.
A special shout-out to the daily housekeeping team, who did a flawless job and were incredibly kind. The attention to detail and care they showed with the kids' teddy bears, neatly arranging them on the bed after cleaning, made a huge difference for our family.
Facilities and Dining
The resort grounds are large and very well maintained. There are two pools: a quieter one perfect for relaxing, and a larger main pool where all the entertainment activities take place. There are also football and basketball courts, a fully equipped gym, and plenty of green spaces. The pool areas are kept spotless, with an abundance of loungers and shade (both umbrellas and natural shade from trees), meaning we never had to deal with the typical early-morning "chair-reservation race." No matter what time of day we went, we always found available spots.
As for the food, the selection was varied and of great quality, featuring daily themed dinners (Spanish, Tex-Mex, Japanese) alongside plenty of meat, fish, and vegetarian options, as well as a wide selection of fruit, desserts, and ice cream. The Wi-Fi worked seamlessly throughout the entire property.
Entertainment and Kids Club
The entertainment team was simply top-notch! For adults, they offered everything from wellness classes like Yoga and Pilates to more high-energy activities like water polo.
For the little ones, the Kids Club was magnificent. The staff showed incredible patience and care with all the children, effortlessly handling language barriers in Spanish, English, or through gestures!!😂. The activities were super engaging: floating bouncy castles, pool dances, water basketball, and awesome interactive games like treasure hunts and the "ice cream thief hunt," where the kids wore handmade cardboard costumes to search for clues around the resort.
Staff and Location
The entire staff was remarkably polite, attentive, and always ready to help with a smile. The location is prime, right on the beach with unobstructed views of the Mediterranean Sea, and less than an hour's drive from Málaga Airport. While the immediate surrounding area is on the quieter side, the resort itself has so many amenities and activities that we never felt the need to leave.
It was a phenomenal vacation.
A huge thank you to the entire Sol/Meliá team for making it so memorable! We will definitely be back."
