Our annual girls' holiday at the hotel was a mix of enjoyment and challenges. The spacious suites with comfortable beds and friendly staff made our stay pleasant, but there were some dining experiences that didn’t quite meet our expectations. While the variety of food was decent, the quality in one of the specialty restaurants left us disappointed. Overall, it’s a great place for a relaxing getaway, especially if you’re up for exploring outside the hotel.

Overall, the hotel had a fantastic beach location with large, clean rooms. While we enjoyed the spacious accommodations, the dining options were underwhelming and the service varied significantly. The pools were decent but could certainly use some maintenance. There's a lot of potential here, but it's best to manage expectations, especially concerning food and some amenities.

This hotel is conveniently located right by the beach, which is lovely. However, the surrounding sea defense rocks made the area look a bit rough.

My stay at Melia Tortuga was a mix of highs and lows. On the positive side, the rooms were spacious, modern, and well-kept, making for a comfortable stay. The beach area was lovely, with plenty of sun loungers to enjoy. However, the service could be hit or miss, and some facilities felt a bit neglected, especially when it came to ensuring enough sunbeds around the pools. Overall, it's a decent option, but improvements could elevate the experience significantly.

This hotel offers an amazing experience for families, with spacious and spotless rooms, friendly staff, and tasty dining options. The pools are well-maintained, and the entertainment is enjoyable. However, the beach has safety concerns, and the dining choices may not cater to all dietary needs, which could be a downside for some guests.
