Loved the pools, and level service worth paying the extra. Breakfast was amazing at the atlantis only thing mini bar not filled, check in was late and rancho restaurant steak un edible
Me and my family stayed at this resort for three days and the overall experiencing was good.
Staff is very friendly every-time you ask any questions they are more than happy to answer. If you have kids this resort is for you, they have a children’s pool, children’s club and activities throughout the week. The food in general if your not a picky eater it’s good, they have the main buffet and three other restaurantes you can reserve for lunch/dinner.
Staff was friendly. Very big property. Beautiful beach scenery. I wish there were more snack/food areas if you missed buffet time slots.

Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service
Disliked: Property conditions & facilities
Music was very loud and the food in the buffet was atrocious. The food wasn’t covered in the level lounge and the flies were all over the food. The hotel furniture and rooms are very tired. The staff were lovely and very helpful so much so we moved hotel! The sand flies and mosquitos were quite bad, plenty of deet needed!
I'm not a fan of resorts when I am on holiday but this was a very good experience. Cleanliness is the most important thing for me and the hotel was very clean, even the courtesy rooms. Buffett could do with some variety as there is a lot of pork. A map or tour of the grounds on arrival would prove beneficial so you know what the resort has available along with the entertainment itinerary.
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.

Disliked: Room comfort
Not bad but not really worth it.
We arrived a little early to the resort but were told our room would be ready by 3pm. It was almost 4pm by the time it was ready. When we got to the room, we realised that the queen bed was actually a standard double.
The person who took us to our room advised us the mini bar would be filled around 5pm. It was never filled. We slept really badly the first few nights with lots of back pain. Eventually, we lifted the mattress to find various support slats were missing. After we reported this to reception, they had it repaired and we slept much better.
As we'd paid for The Level, we were advised on our second morning that we could alternate breakfasts at The Level breakfast in our resort and the one next door at melia llana. We did this and it was great, as it's an adults only hotel.
Sadly, on our last morning, they had introduced a new vip level, meaning we lost the right to this service. As such, I don't think I'd recommend paying extra for The Level for anyone thinking of going in future.
The food offering was very good - better than other all inclusive resorts I've been to. But we weren't advised to book restaurants in advance and, at the peak period of the year that is new year, we were only able to book the new year's eve night (which we did in advance) and one other included dinner.
The best thing about the resort is definitely the staff. They obviously really want to help and make sure you're having a good time. They go out of their way to be friendly and helpful.
1) long queues to book any restaurant
2) too big and crowded although we had a nice room
3) breakfast poor - cold eggs and coffee dreadful
4) housekeeping dreadful - never had room towels replaced properly and cleaning sketchy
5) ATM didn’t work
Please don’t book. Only a 3star hotel that can’t cope with capacity of guests. Rooms not cleaned. Staff rude. Food poisoning. Save your money and go to the Caribbean where you’re welcomed.
Worst stay in 30 years. Never again. Service, food, property all F- /1 star . Rude staff at the bar. It was all inclusive including the bad service ,food and drinks. I will be asking expedia for all my stay back. Full refund without apologies.

Rooms to far from the beach and resort stuff not very professional,,,,the food was just decent
Impressed with the level of service. Avid traveler and this Resort exceeded my expectations. Please consider VIP upgrades to have the opportunity to visit other affiliate resorts for dinning.
Our experience at the resort was mixed, but we made the most of what was an uneven experience. The room was clean and reasonably comfortable. The food was decent, although not exceptional.
The staff were generally pleasant, but were reactive and not proactively ensuring things were in place, delivering on the service promise. For example, there were no facial tissues in the room, despite there being an empty dispenser in the bathroom. Each time I went to the gym, there were no towels for the guests and had to chase staff to replenish. Also, we went days without housekeeping checking in to see if buns needed emptying or if we needed more water for the room. This too had to be requested.
The resort did not have a secured facility to hold luggage for guests waiting to check in. Our flight arrived late morning which meant that we had to wait four hours with our luggage until we could check in at 3pm. We were told that we could leave our bags outside in the corner of the front entrance and that it was safe, but this is unacceptable.
Also, when we arrived, we stood in a long queue to book the specialty restaurants for the week, only to find that they were fully booked up to the night before we departed. We later learned that there was an online booking tool for the restaurants, but this was never offered up front. We were able to put our names on a waiting list and, on the following day, offered two bookings for a couple of nights. Have more to say, but out of space
