Lopesan Costa Meloneras Resort

We enjoyed the first three days here,until the lockdown due to Coronavirus. Until then we had found everything to be excellent. We where forced to leave early and take a rescue flight. Everything was so chaotic on our departure,the police visited reception as we where checking out and forced the staff to start removing all the furniture and seating out of reception. It was utter pandemonium, as a consequence the receptionist was very curt with us. Also insisted we pay the full fortnight charge for the safe rental. Even though we had only been there for 3 days. We where glad to escape to our taxi,it felt as though we had been released from jail. When we returned home a voucher was e mailed to us for the said safe rental. Needless to say we will not be returning so it is useless to us.

Unfortunately we only had two days to experience the hotel before being locked down due to corona virus and departed early We found the staff very helpful and friendly the hotel grounds are beautiful we 2ill return when normality resumes

We were moved here from the Villa Conde by the Lopesan management, and our opinion was that this Hotel didn't match the highs of that other place. This was in the middle of the lockdown process for Covid-19, so obviously the staff and management had a crisis to manage and, by and large, they did this as well as can be expected, so no complaints there. As a result of the crisis, the food offering tailed off as the hotel started to empty, and that is perfectly understandable. We absolutely would not question the quality of the service, food and so on, as they are probably very good in normal circumstances. They even gave us a packed lunch to take for our journey home, as we set off from the hotel at lunchtime - very good service. What marks the place down in our eyes is the accommodation. It's a bit older than the Villa Conde and seems to be arranged as a very large, monolithic edifice with endless corridors that are't that well lit. The rooms are 'older' than the Villa Conde (at least those we stayed in) and not as well appointed. It just felt to us like the kind of a prison cell block you would see in a TV drama, albeit more up-market and dressed in wood. Talking of TVs, the screen in our room didn't work and, looking at the Heath Robinson affair that was the connection of the aerial to the wall, we weren't surprised. Maybe we were spoiled by the Villa Conde; maybe it's just our preference or maybe it's because our arrival there was further into the Covid-19 crisis, but we would personally far prefer the Villa Conde. The 'campus' seems to be well-appointed, with several swimming pools, bars, mini-golf and the like, although we had to stay indoors, in our rooms, after only the most cursory walk around it. The campus has several restaurants and buffets which probably offer themed dinners like the Villa Conde, although the Covid-19 crisis meant only two buffets were open (one on the last night) and the themes had been suspended.
