Melia La Palma

Our first time in La Palma, and of all the islands we have visited, it is probably (just) at the top of our favourite list. Let's be clear from the outset: This hotel is not for you if you want to be close to "the action" ( whatever "action" there may be in La Palma). Situated in Puerto Naos, a small village on the West of the island, it is out of the way, on the edge of the sea at the end of the beach, a haven for those who like to decompress with the sound of the sea lapping against the shore and the birds chirrupping in the trees. There was a high percentage of guests who are. ahem. of a more mature age ( of which I count myself as one) and a very small percentage of guests who came from England. The hotel was spotless, and the staff engaging and hardworking. We had a couple of minor issues that were resolved quickly and with charm. Whilst a little out of the way, the bus to the local town was regular, with a change there for another bus to Santa Cruz if you wanted to travel further afield using public transport. We hired a car from the hotel - on the pricey side, but convenient - enabling us to see more of the island than by bus. We found both the breakfast and evening meal buffet to be excellent. Of course, there were times when it was a little busier than others, but not that it became unpleasant, and it was clear from the choices that an attempt was made to cater for everyone's dietary requirements whilst at the same time mixing up the menu. All in all, we have had nothing but a positive experience from this hotel, and are happy to recommend..... if you like your week nice and quiet.

Enjoyed our 3 night stay. Modern, clean comfortable room with fantastic views. Staff were friendly and helpful. Food was good generally but grilled meats were chewy. Ample parking at the hotel but for a fee (10 euros/day). However, parking can be found along the road approaching the hotel. Area surrounding the hotel was quiet with few dining options.

Every (!) evening super loud music at the pool, making it impossible for anyone in seaview rooms to find any sleep before 11 pm. We didn't expect that as La Palma is an island for nature loving people, not for party people. We will not come back.

It was nice sleeping with the sea nearby.

Fantastyczna obsługa! Przemiła Pani dbająca o nasz pokój, sympatyczne osoby witające nas w restauracji, świetnie kelnerzy i barmani, cudowna Pani z kidsclub i bardzo otwarty, pomocny Niderlandczyk z animacji. Pokoje ładne, bardzo czyste, podwójny serwis. Jedyny minus to materace na łóżkach które już się odkształciły. Hotel bardziej dla dorosłych niż dla małych dzieci. Ładny, zadbany kidsclub. Niestety brak placu zabaw zarówno przy basenie jak i w ogrodzie ale nikt nam tego nie obiecywał więc sami nie wzięliśmy tego pod uwagę jadąc tu z dzieckiem. Problemem był zniszczony podjazd pomiędzy promenadą a hotelem - wózek dziecięcy trzeba było nosić po wysokich schodach - nie wiem jak radziła sobie niepełnosprawna Pani na wózku inwalidzkim. Mi było ciężko. Jedzenie smaczne, różnorodne. Wykupiliśmy Level dzięki czemu mieliśmy fantastyczny widok a w bonusie napoje i tapasy do 18 + śniadanie a la carte. Fajna opcja! W barze niestety zabrakło Ron Miel .... czyli lokalnego alkoholu.

Excelente ubicación y servicio. Todo su personal muy atento y amable, especialmente Jonatan de Level, Raquel de restaurante y Paula de piscina. La comida de calidad y muy bien presentado. La habitación perfecta con una vista preciosa, la zona de jardín muy cuidada.
