The beach here is amazing, hotel seems quite full but plenty of space for all the guests across different pools and the beach. The beach is something for a post card, great sand clear water. Hotel is really relaxing with things to do for all.

We got a very good price for this property. The service was quite good. The only thing I would complain about is that the buffet was a bit limited and it wouldn't change that much from day to day. Also the quality of some dishes was a bit questionable. For such a big resort, the gym was quite small and most of the machines were not working. They offer a transfer to go to Santa Maria, however, there is one a day and it's shared with the other Meliá hotels nearby, so very few seats are available for people staying at Sol Dunas. Also, there is no transfer to go back to the hotel...

Die Lage des Sol Dunas war mit dem direkten Strandzugang perfekt um zwischen Meer ubd Poollandschaft zu wechseln. Die Anlage bietet alles was man benötigt und lässt keine Wünsche (Sportangebote, Kinderclub für verschiedene Altersgruppen etc.) für Erwachsene und Kinder offen.

Stivan, was very good and helpful from beginning to end. MOST employees were very helpful, but had same issue Again, with woman behind desk trying to call us out for late check out, when we solved the issue. By extending check out early this morning to have no problems, but they tried to embarrassed us again, wow second time, on second trip to property, I must not fit the profile.

Das Sol Dunas ist die größte 5Sterne Hotelanlage Afrikas. Leider leidet unter der Fokussierung auf Quantität punktuell darunter die Qualität. Aber wirklich Jammern auf hohem Niveau. Das Einzige, was mich echt gewurmt hat: WLAN ist trotz gegenteiliger Aussage nicht überall und dauerhaft in der Anlage verfügbar. Angekommen zeigt Handy Netzeerk an. Habe deshalb die mobilen Daten leider nicht ausgeschaltet. 24 Stunden später habe ich eine SMS, dass ich 59 € für mobile Daten im Auskand auf der Rechnung habe. Nach 3 Beschwerden und 3 Tagen wurde und ein neues Zimmer mit WIFI zugewiesen

Boa experiência Familiar de Férias

Segunda vez no resort. Gostamos muito, por isso voltamos. Boa praia em frente e várias piscinas. Oferta gastronómica muito boa. Staff na maioria simpático e atencioso. Principalmente a Solange e a Dilza. No geral uma boa experiência familiar.

I enjoyed it very much. I did do an upgrade to be on the level side but was very disappointed. There was nothing leveled about the room at all. I wish it was more accommodating. I would come back here for sure but i do believe it need somewhat of an upgrade on the level side. More amenities in the bathroom and the room itself as well. As a Cape Verdean myself I had a great time but the staff could be more gentle with everyone aside from where they came from. They were nicer after knowing I came from the US. Overall I enjoyed the resort and my time here.

A estadia foi boa, as pessoas do Hotel são fantásticas no entanto, pensamos que devido à situação do COVID e baixa taxa de ocupação do Hotel, existiam vários restaurantes encerrados! No entanto, para um Hotel Melia esperava mais a nível de infraestrutura do mesmo

Personalen bytte ej ut tom förpackning på servetter(som dessutom var en tredjedel full när vi kom till vårat rum första gången), var utan det i 8 nätter. Stopp i badkaret så att det rann långsamt, blev därför krångligt att duscha. Lagg på tv-kanaler. För övrigt var hotellrummet bra med fin service

I travelled with my family (my wife and 2 yound children) and we enjoyed almost every single moment of our stay. The resort is in very good condition with a lot of things for people of all ages to do. My only 2 gripes are: 1. None of the kids pools are heated and so in very windy weather all the pools were freezing cold and the kids couldn't swim. 2. Our rooms weren't cleaned one day (despite leaving the correct notice on the door) and coming back from a long day of exploration/touring with 2 kids to a room with no clean towels and bins still filled with rubbish was very exasperating for us. Fortunately we were able to get clean towels that night but had to wait for another 12 hours before the rooms were cleaned. Other than those 2, it was a truly wonderful experience for us. The staff are very friendly people and the "No Stress" motto of Cape Verde is reflected thoroughly at this resort. It's an amazing place with no stress at all. Special shoutout to the minders at the kids club...they are truly amazing people. Our kids are still raving about the day spent there. Kudos to the entire resort team. P.s. If you can, book the island tour with Jack Sparrow at the beach.
