Villa Le Blanc Gran Meliá

Connor

In summary, exceptionally poor value for money. We had such a disappointing experience that it has taken me months to summon the energy to write this review! Examples of positives = Beautiful location + modern, mostly clean, well-maintained hotel. Spa treatments were not cheap, but were excellent. Examples of negatives = Up-selling Caveat: Having stayed with Melia before, we've been given upgrades subject to availability. Upon arrival at Villa Le Blanc we were offered the opportunity to view a room upgrade the following day, which we very appreciatingly accepted. Imagine our shock when the situation turned incredibly awkward, standing in a new room with a member of staff who then attempted to haggle the price with us. Not once was a price mentioned when the upgrade was offered, otherwise we would have politely declined. We booked a gorgeous suite (not cheap) and were very happy with our choice against our budget. We couldn't believe that (in retrospect) the hotel attempted to up-sell us the moment we'd stepped through the doors. Tipping Every transaction in the hotel comes complete with an awkward digital screen where you're prompted to tip staff for minor interactions. So needlessly awkward! Food. We struggled particularly with eating at the hotel. Breakfast was disappointing because unless you eat eggs, there is no table-service, only buffet. Birds frequently land on the bread in the restaurant, which is cute but unhygienic. Dinners are very expensive for what you get, in terms of quality and quantity. For the record, €30 per person for vegetable paella is outrageous. Although the hotel advertises that they cater to allergy/dietary requirements, we found the options limited to paying full value for mains with the protein removed. When we did find a dish that we could eat, we were told that we would need to walk 10 paces around the corner (onto the same balcony) to eat at a different restaurant, as they didn't serve that dish at that particular time of day. Not very 5* service. Special mention for the curious room-service menu that only runs from 1am-7am, featuring the illusive vegan sandwich. The Spa area. For such a large hotel, the indoor pool, sauna facilities etc are very limited. Pricing for treatments in their brochure (via the hotel 'app') are incorrect + different to the prices when you try to book. Often the drinking water was left empty for long periods of time and litter was left around the pool. I can imagine that this area gets very suffocating during high-season. Parking Hotel charges fairly enormous rates for parking on-site, failing to mention that there is ample free parking around the town close by to the hotel. This comes across as taking advantage of travellers not familiar with the area.

This hotel is first class. 5 star. It is well run by management and staff. Truly was one of the finest hotels that we have stayed in - including 8,400 nights experience in Marriott around the world. We loved it and recommend it to anyone who wants beach, service beyond perfect, world class food, helpful Guest Experience people who made boating, personal trainer, yoga and more happen. We will come back. Maria at front desk, Marcelo, Paco at the Pool, Karen and many more in restaurant, claening staff . . . truly everyone was a 10. We tried all teh restaurants and enjoyed that - different menus. You can be as busy or as quiet as you want. Villa LeBlanc is a 10 !!

Without a doubt, this is the best beachfront hotel we’ve ever stayed at. We were lucky enough to stay in a suite with stunning sea views, and we honestly couldn’t recommend it more. The service, the kindness of the staff, and the overall quality are truly exceptional. Falling asleep to the sound of the sea made our stay unforgettable. Breakfast with sea views is absolutely spectacular and makes you not want to leave the hotel. Between the spa, the main pool, the rooftop pool and the other swimming areas, along with the amazing service, you just want to stay here all day. Villa Le Blanc has become one of our favorite destinations, and we’ll definitely be coming back

Nice hotel well located. Very confortable room and nice facilities with large pools in and out. The breakfast is fantastic with a large choice. Staff is friendly. However the service is not up to the level of a 5 stars : just be patient for someone to take your order, serve your food or drinks… value for money is not at the level of a leading hotel. It is clear that the problem of staff affects the holiday atmosphere during our visit in September.

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ We recently stayed in one of the corner suites and from the moment we arrived we felt genuinely welcomed. The hotel itself is gorgeous — stylish, comfortable, and perfectly maintained. The cheese and wine bar was a highlight, with fantastic wine and cheese tastings that we really enjoyed. Every restaurant we tried was absolutely delicious and highly recommended. And the sunsets… breathtaking! 🌅 We also took a boat trip with Nacho as our captain, exploring the north — such a memorable experience. What really made our stay so special was the team: the staff were attentive, professional, and warm throughout. A big shoutout to Ruben, Ruben, Wex, and Baleria — you made our short visit unforgettable. Even though we stayed only two nights, it felt like a much longer, relaxing holiday… which is always the best sign of a great getaway! I can’t recommend this hotel enough. Thank you for such a wonderful experience — see you next year!
