8/10 Very good

In general was a really good experience, our room was nearby the pool ans the restaurant. We couldn't enjoy the A la Carte restaurants for dinner as they were fully booked, we were hiven the lunch option but we didn't take it. The food in the buffet we really good and the variety from lical food to international cuisine. Only issue was the towels in the room, the moment they take it to replace you suffer to get new ones has they only bring it by dinner time, and if you were lucky to get one. I had to call housekeeping 3 times on the same night to get one.

Lovely experience
Lots of positives. The hotel was spotlessly clean. Our bedroom recieved a thorough clean each day and we received fresh towels each day. Lots of food choices including a buffet and several a la carte. We were here 1 week amd had no problems booking a different restaurant each night by going to the booking service at 1030 in the odyssey bar ( next to the piano). Food was excellent. Hotel has several pools and direct access to the beach. No problems getting a sunbed. No mosquitos but bring your spray just in case.

It's a large and well maintained hotel complex on a stretch of excellent beach. We loved the location, the weather of course, lots of wildlife, birds, turtles and butterflies. The staff are mostly young in age and very friendly and helpful. Service in the bars, restaurants and poolside are all very good. The housekeeping for our room often didn't turn up until 6pm and on the last 2 days we were there they didn't turn up at all. This was despite our leaving the 'please clean our room' notice on our door for them to see. I phoned down to reception a couple of times but reception did not answer. That wasn't very good and not what we would expect from a 5-star hotel.

2/10 Poor

HORRIBLE EXPERIENCE. PLEASE AVOID. Shower water is yellow, the resort is absolutely understaffed, employees were hiding. it was CHAOTIC. Restaurant are already fully booked when you arrive, and food (restaurant or buffet) is just horrible. We ended up taking a cab to eat in Santa Maria. Wifi does not work, dirty everywhere. People around me were as much horrified as me. A lot of very upset people. How come this rating is so high ? Are the other reviews fake ???

The Dunas resort is divided in two, SOL Dunas and MELIA Dunas. We stayed on Melia side - which was more adult/couple suitable and the Sol side more family or younger family orientated. The complex was clean and well kept. The pools and facilities (such as communal toilets) were spotless. Our room was large and clean, with fridge and good air conditioning, there was also kettle and hairdryer and a free to use safe for valuables. The food buffet was great and we loved having 4 restaurants to book for dinner if we wanted something more formal. There are also many bars to grab that late night drink or nightcap ! The Gabi beach bar and the beachcomber bar provided drinks at the beach and there were swim up pool bars for refreshments (drinks) poolside! Drinks really were all inclusive- spirits(local but extensive) wine, beer, cava, Prosecco, and cocktails- we had zero addition spend! The only downside is the 6 hour layover in Lisbon outward , but we survived! We will definitely be going back!

we stayed here for 4 days and it was nothing short of perfect. We wished we had stayed longer. The ambience was great, even better than the pictures. Food was great too and literally all inclusive, meaning you don’t have to pay for breakfast, lunch, dinner or even drinks. Everything is covered in the cost of the room. Totally amazing! The pools are relaxing and great too.
