We flew here on the 05/05/2013 for two weeks and think this was the best hotel we have been to over sea's. Service was incredible and the staff were great. We and a few others who we flew with were asked to attend a meeting with the manager to give our feedback and any suggestions we may have had, we... More

I rely so much on tripadvisor to give me a feel of what a place is like and then take everything with a grain of salt so I hope you do the same.. but at the same time I wanted to add our opinion. The purpose of the trip was to relax.. no tours, no shopping, just eat, beach, relax... More

Accommodation: we were located in building 25 (family side) which had the best of both worlds since it was right between the walkway to the beach and the activity pool. The main buffet was also just a few minutes away. We still used the stroller for my 22 months old as when walking it would take way more than a... More

I recently came back from Melia Las Dunas, Cayo Santa Maria Cuba. We travelled with 15 people (six kids, nine adults) and I thought that the service was great. Arrival: Since we were travelling with 15 people, when we exited the airport, Melia Las Dunas gave us our very own personal bus. We got a tour guide as well who... More

As a solo traveller I felt a bit alone at this resort and I'm not new to solo travel as I often travel by myself. I always meet new friends and rarely dine alone. That was not the case at this resort. Perhaps the 80% plus of French Canadians contributed to this as I am not bilingual. The staff was... More

We stayed at MLD last year in October, we were on the last flight from manchester with Thomas cooke, our first trip to Cuba, after reading some of the reviews we were a little apprehensive, many people complaining of dirty rooms, stray cats, bad food...............We found our room on the adult side to be lovely, clean, comfortable, and very large...

This was my third visit to Melia Las Dunas since last May. I felt so comfortable on my previous trips to this resort that I actually travelled alone this trip. The hospitality that I have received on each stay has been fantastic. I would start my day in the buffet with a delicious omelet prepared by Lydia who was always... More

This was the first time my mom and I went to Cuba. The flight was short which I liked. It was a 3 hour drive from the airport to the resort but everyone slept (it was night when the plane landed). Our room was nice except for a spider but hey we're in the tropics what's do you expect? The... More

I went with my partner at the end of March for a week's holiday. The airport pickup went well and we got a mini tour on the way to the hotel. The drive was just as long as I expected it to be, but still felt quite long - I was glad to get off the bus when we did!... More
