Chiringito service staff very badly prepared, not well organized, not kind enough, they forgot one main plate, the wine, the octopus was very hard, the steak we asked two different days and the portions were very different from one day to another in terms of size (almost 3 times difference), the place is amazing but the service is really bad, I will not recommend it.

“Not the Premium Experience We Paid For”

The best

We stayed 5 nights at Meliá Zahara Resort & Villas, booking a Premium Room for ourselves and a regular Meliá Room for our two teenage children. One big pool offers everything for 'family fun' - but not so quiet, background music all around the pool. Pool bar where you can order and drink while in the pool was 'nice' - but pouring the famous Sangria just out of a plastic bottle serving with some ice-cubes is beyond what you expect from a 'bar'.

While the hotel is beautifully located with well-maintained grounds, our experience with the Premium Room was disappointing. Despite paying extra, the room was nearly identical to the standard one — in fact, our children’s room had better features like two sinks and a quieter location. And we had bad luck: view to a grey roof with exhausts from the kitchen - change was not possible until 2 nights before our departure due to non availability of any option - also no upgrade for extra payment. Promised extras on this booking platform (not on the hotel page) such as turn-down service and bathrobes were missing. The staff was friendly and professional, especially at reception and guest experience, and the setting is relaxing. However, the hotel’s tiered setup (Standard / Premium / The Level) seems to stretch its capacity. During high occupancy, Premium guests felt second-tier, with limited space at pools and in dining areas. (much of the space is not accessible for the average guest). The food was good overall, but for the price we paid, we’ve had noticeably better quality and variety at a comparable hotel just north of here. Two of us are vegetarians who missed more variation (pasta, pizza is always there) but mostly felt unsure on the buffet as descriptions were missing or not accurate. We really enjoyed parts of our stay, but the Premium upgrade didn’t meet expectations — and that sense of imbalance stayed with us. While the guest experience was very open minded and understanding our point of view but were bound to 'talk' and not 'walk'.
