pure bliss!

pool staff refreshing drink
visiting this place was like entering a dream! the staff at the pool were attentive. they were always quick to help find a sunbed or bring a refreshing drink. i really enjoyed spending time there.
i noticed some time-share selling happening within the hotel. i suggest you avoid any invitations to drinks from the melia circle group. it can be a bit of a hassle during your stay!
