    ABOUT THE HOTEL

    • Official Rating
    • Free Wi-Fi

    The Melia Dunas Resort puts everything in the palm of your hands – whether it’s the beach, or the heaps of bars, restaurants and pools at base.

    This place is so big it deserves village status. And it’s got the goods to back it up – from a fistful of restaurants to a swanky spa. The neighbouring Sol Dunas tops things up with a mini-waterpark, more pools and kids’ clubs.

    You’ll need to stroll through tropical grounds to reach the sands in front of the hotel. Or you can get to Santa Maria’s supersized stretch in five minutes by hopping on the free shuttle bus.

    We had previously visited Boa Vista but preferred Sal as you can get out & about on your own more. Helpful, friendly staff at the hotel. Special mention to the bell boy (didn't catch his name but he gave a great overview of the hotel as he was taking us to our room) and James & Euginio working in the a la carte restaurants. Room bright & spacious. Hotel is in a great location. We didn't bother queuing for the free shuttle bus to Santa Maria as it only costs 3 euros for a taxi. We didn't upgrade to the Level as we couldn't see the advantage to us. We thought the pool at the Level area looked busier than the main pool areas. Plenty of choice for food. Booked the a la carte restaurants during our stay as well as catching a taxi to Santa Maria to eat out for a change. The hotel isn't absolutely perfect but we definitely felt that it exceeded our expectations and was good value for money. We will definitely return for some winter sun.
    Great winter sun location.

    Stayed at the Melia Dunas Beach Resort and Spa. First time in Cape Verde didn't know what to expect but not disappointed at all. Lovely resort, staff very friendly and accommodating nothing too much trouble. Great selection of food and drink 8 bars and 4 restaurants on site so plenty of choice. Plenty of entertainment, kids clubs, exercise classes etc.

    Cleanliness not great and rooms looking tired although quite large and roomy. A lot of walking between rareas could be a problems for some with mobility issues. Dining room poor service with okay food if you get it hot, better to book bootable restaurant, wine we found good, prosecco also Available as part of the all inclusive. AI spirts ie gin was shockingly bad!
    Wonderful place

    The place is amazing people super nice . Angela, Gary at the reception were amazing and helpful. Cati (the supervisor for breakfast and at the Atlantis) was super nice too. I went alone with my daughter Mia and it was a very nice week! I will definitely come back!
    Not Melia 5 star standard!

    28th February to 7th March 2019 We chose this Melia because we had stayed in a fantastic Melia in Lanzarote but this was a mistake as this one was not comparable in any way. On arrival at the hotel our suitcases were the last ones out of the transfer bus so we had to queue for at least 30 minutes to check-in in an dull alcove to the left of a wide bright and nice looking Sol reception. The food was not that good quality and mostly cold as the plate warmer was only working once while we were here. Some of the bar staff and waiters were friendly and helpful but most seemed as though they didn’t want to be there drinks being slammed down or just ignoring customers. The room was was the best thing about the holiday as it was nice and there was a view of the beach from the balcony. There were always plenty of sun-beds available at the main pool, the closer one, near the beach, was Levels customers only so we could not use it. I reported that the Tv screen was stuck on the index and 2 days later nothing had been done so I switched the power off at the fuse box which cured it. On check-out I had the same problem as when I checked in, having to queue behind the people checking in but someone sat at the side of the desks was seen by a manager within a few minutes, I was fuming. Sorry but I cannot recommend this hotel the Riu and the Tui looked nice so maybe look at their reviews.
