Hotel Meliá Salinas

I have just returned from a 10 Night stay at the hotel! The hotel is lovely clean and well maintained!! Rooms are big, modern, big comfy bed and really good shower!! ( with big bottles of shampoo conditioner and shower gel) the hotel provides you with beach towels which can be changed at the towel hut!! The hotel is very beautiful with stunning views!! Prob best in costa Teguise!! Few flaws! Which wasn’t necessarily the hotels fault but it could of helped if maintenance wasn’t still going on! We found perfect spot to sun bathe! When we first arrived we noticed the pool was very open and spaced out which was perfect! However during our stay they tapped off half of the pool sunbathing area which meant most of the hotel was all around one section of the pool! One day we had 2 ladies laying Next to me with only few centimetres gap between us (some close her umbrella was under our umbrella! ) the ladies were smoking which I know is allowed but coming from a non smoker I don’t want to have to Sit with it blowing in my face all Day!! ( I wouldn’t of minded so much if They asked if it was ok to smoke considering she was laying 5cm Away from me) we did Speak to front desk and said it was very cramped and we understand maintenance work have to be done but the pool Area was too Crammed! We were given access to the level pool which had more room less people! So the hotel were brilliant in that respect!! The only other negative was the pool was too cold! Im Usually a water baby and can spend hours in the pool! It was so cold I spent max 20-30 mins twice a day! I dreaded getting! Food wise! We only done b&b! And it’s was fine!! I only had toast and pasties every morning but it was really nice and didn’t feel over crowed it’s was actually very pleasant!! Over all it was lovely hotel and I would return to this hotel! Such a shame the pool was too cold And its was cramped for number days!!

I have come back from this hotel last week so disappointed! My dad regularly goes to this hotel and recommended it to me. However we won’t be returning. The hotel rooms are nice and clean but the food is very poor! It’s cold and undercooked and the management don’t care when you tell them. First full day the omelettes were freshly cooked for you but runny in the middle. At lunch I had chicken that had just come out of the fryer... They were raw in the middle not cold I mean raw! So We decided to eat off the pool bar menu that evening. We both ordered a hamburger it was raw in the middle not pink as I like my steak Medium rare it was inedible! I asked for another one well done it was again raw! The following morning we had hard boiled eggs with bread. The eggs just ran out not in runny but I mean you could just pour them out uncooked. We told the manager but they said what can I do for you? I replied please just cook the food people are going to be ill at this rate! We even tried the Ala carte menu in the level. We were looking forward to having a decent meal served to us. The starters and desserts were buffet help yourself not served. The main meal off the menu not much choice we both ordered the lasagna. It was bland not much taste and had ham in it, yes ham In lasagna!!! The hotel had been closed until June and yet they were still taping the pool off and painting it whilst you are sunbathing! Not a very nice sight for your holiday. The hotel is now a 3 star I would say nice looking but the food and entertainment repetitive and no atmosphere. Our group of friends entertained the guests more! Would definitely not recommend or return to this hotel as there’s better hotels on the island. This hotel is luxury prices but the service and food not backed up to warrant the price.

We checked out this week after a 8 night stay, this was our 2nd stay but it was nowhere as nice as our 1st stay. I was unhappy with the check-in and have sent the hotel a email, which has not been acknowledged. I would recommend not to do a online check-in as it is a waste of time, as they still take your passports and put in all the same details. The new concept with the food is not working, as the hot plates do not keep the very warm. My husband said that the chips were always stone cold. I eat mainly fish, wehich was cooked fresh for you and that was always cooked fine. There is a good selection of salad, a deli counter and desserts. I also had a runny omelette at breakfast. The kitchen staff need to start notice of the reviews, as you are going to lose a lot of customers. The hotel has lost all its atmosphere and the entertainment has been moved outside and is nothing special. Prevously there was a dance show and a brilliant singer from Cuba, who had everyone dancing. The hotel and rooms were very clean, but they need to do a lot to be classed as a 5 star hotel again. I don't think we will returning to this hotel, while we were there we checked out some other hotels.
