Meliá Las Dunas Review

This vast complex of more than 900 rooms is like a minicity that requires golf buggies to move around; the farthest room is some 200m (656 ft.) from the lobby. If you like the impersonal and don't want to see the same face twice, then this is the place for you. Those who have difficulty with a lot of walking and want something more intimate should consider the other two Meliás (Meliá Cayo Santa María or Sol Cayo Santa María). All the main services are close to the lobby, while the rooms are either ringed around the kids' pool for families or the adults' pool in two residential zones. The gardens are as lush as you would expect. Only a disappointing 53 rooms have sea views, but rooms are in the same style and layout as the Meliá Cayo Santa María, only they feature more attractive, light-wood furniture. Superior rooms are closer to the lobby; the standard rooms are only a little smaller.

Facilities: 7 restaurants; 3 snack bars; 5 bars; cabaret; 3 outdoor pools; 2 outdoor tennis courts; spa; extensive free watersports equipment; bikes; games; tour desk; car-rental desk; salon; 24-hr. room service; baby club and 3 childrens' and teenage programs; laundry service; gift shop

About Our System

Frommer's ranks every hotel, restaurant, attraction, shop, and nightlife establishment it reviews for quality, value, service, amenities, and special features using a star-rating scale, an expression of the strong compare-and-contrast opinions that are a brand hallmark.

Other ratings provide stars based primarily on price and amenities; the Frommer's star rating is meant to quantify the kind of intangible, experiential elements that help travelers make informed decisions.

The "baseline" recommendation is zero stars--every hotel, restaurant, attraction, shop, and nightlife establishment that Frommer's chooses to review is recommended; otherwise, we simply wouldn't include it.
