Melia Tortuga Beach

We stayed at Meliá Tortuga Beach for one week on an all-inclusive holiday with our two toddlers. Overall, we had a pleasant stay. The hotel has direct beach access, which was a big plus, and the staff were very friendly and helpful throughout our stay. The food was decent, with a reasonable choice of options each day. For families with young children, however, we found the facilities and entertainment quite limited. The kids' club felt dated and run-down, and during the week we were there, there seemed to be very few organised activities taking place for toddlers. Another thing that bothered us was the pebble-stone paving throughout much of the resort. It looks nice, but it is not very practical when travelling with toddlers and using a pushchair, as it can be quite uncomfortable and difficult to move around on. Overall, it is a nice resort with friendly staff, good beach access and decent food, but I think it could be improved quite a bit for families travelling with very young children.

Me and my brother stayed at this gorgeous hotel back in May this year. I can’t stop thinking about how perfect the stay was so I thought I’d give a honest review. The food was 11/10! The restaurants included in the all inclusive package were amazing. Every restaurant was beautiful, tasty, and unique. Me and my brother loved the restaurant on the beach the best where we had a lovely streak and cocktail. The steak was cooked beautifully and the cocktails were so unreal. The rooms were lovely and clean. Absolutely plenty of room for the two of us and possibly others! The room was nicely cleaned every day which was perfect and it was always cleaned to a high standard, we could tell that the housekeeping team work so hard. The staff at this hotel were all so lovely and polite. I’ve never been somewhere before where everyone has been so welcoming before. It’s so nice for a change to be in such a beautiful country and have beautiful people there that made us feel so welcome. I can’t fault that as we stayed for 7 nights and every hotel staff member there would be so nice, it made us truly want to stay longer. The entertainment was amazing and out of this world. There was something different on every night which was incredible and the acts were so beautiful. I could tell that everyone performing works so hard and are happy to be there. The location of the hotel is perfect. It’s beach front and peaceful. I recommend going for a walk along the path towards the front of the Bob Marley bar. The sunsets and scenery were gorgeous. I will definitely be coming back to Sal and I would love to come back to this hotel in the near future, it’s truly one of a kind. I miss it so much.

Family of 5, we booked a 3 bedroom villa and it was great: very spacious, with a small private pool that our children couldn't get enough of. Pleasant and clean common areas, friendly and helpful staff, varied food with very good quality. The sea in front of the hotel has a rocky bottom, but there is a man-made bay about 100 metres away with warm turquoise water, fine sand... beautiful. The one thing that didn't go as expected was the transfer from the airport on arrival. Being 5, we booked the transfer with the hotel; upon arrival, the transfer wasn't there, we called the hotel several times and had to wait almost an hour until our transport arrived. No explanation or apology was offered. We asked the reception to call a taxi for our departure and it was much better and far more affordable.

Lovely hotel, good selection of restaurants. Very clean and tidy. Beautiful beach with plenty of sun loungers. Sea is pretty rough but a short walk to a calm bay. Antonio, in public relations, is incredibly helpful and organised a perfect tour of the island for us. Nothing was too much trouble for him.

Lovely food, great location on the beach. Would definitely visit again. Rooms slightly dated but clean. Great value for money. Buggy experience booked through TUI rep was the best experience of our lives would deffo recommend. Antino is lovely and would recommend people to come.
