A wonderful hotel in an amazing island with a great team. Full of magic thanks to Cesar Manrique and higueras architecture. The island is amazing with a lot of energy. Wild and pretty. Calm and exiting at the same time. A place to go for sure. Enjoy

The hotel Meliá Salinas LANZAROTE is a fantastic 5 star all inclusive resort ,from the moment we arrived the staff could not more help full and friendly , our room was spotless and serviced every day, the food in all the restaurants is faultless and the entertainment through out the days and evening was amazing, thanks to Carlos and his team. I can thoroughly recommend this hotel and we will be returning

Hmm... Where to start. On first impressions, the hotel is stunning! The pool area is very pretty and well maintained. Plenty of loungers and parasols. Good accesibility to the beach. Inside the hotel is exactly the same, very well presented and decorated nicely for Christmas! We were shown to our rooms, again couldn't fault the rooms. Extremely clean and very modern. The issues came later on during our stay. To save me from waffling on, I'll get straight to the point. - I do not know a 5 star hotel that doesn't show you to a table during dinner service? Myself and the family were having to search the restaraunt for a table ( which had very few tables for 4) I tried to move 2 together which I got told I wasn't allowed to do by one of the waiters. - The buffet restaurant was absolutely appalling for a 5 star hotel. NO variety of food, it was the exact same stuff every day. The food that was there was extremely cold - they had nothing to keep the food warm, nothing in trays, no heaters or hot plates. A big concern for me was that the food was hardly labeled and someone who suffers from allergies made the experience near impossible. A bowl of chocolate peanuts (which I stayed away from as a sensible adult) but nothing to clearly suggest that they contained nuts is astonishing to me... limited me to the basics on basics. - We went to the Italian restaurant one night with hopes that it would be better. Again my dad's food came out stone cold, we asked for it to be returned which took for ever. He re-ordered a pizza but for whatever reason a calzone was presented, at this point we just wanted to give up. - Service? What's that at this hotel! During the evening the bar was waiter service as you would expect for a 5 star hotel. However, if you do not have the man power to provide this service, then you should still be able to order at the bar. 2 waiters one named Marcos and an other that I wasn't sure of his name, were extremely helpful. They went out of their way to make sure we had our drinks asap. On their days off we were waiting up to 45 mins before a waiter even came over to take our orders. One of the waiters who walked around with a tablet was nothing short of useless. I went over to him to make an order as know one had came over to us. When I spoke to him he told me to go and "sit back down" and laughed when I said that we had been waiting for 45mins. On a separate night, we had asked for a small bowl of crips with our drinks, on 3 occasions we got told "yes we will bring some over" but nothing showed up. I went up and spoke to a waiter at the bar who told me that they had ran out??? Why we wasn't told this in the first place, I do not know. - The "GINGER BAR" again was very pleasant, they had a couple of TV's and some comfortable seating. However, it was the only place to go. It felt like I was in prison, the restaraunt was just at the end of the ginger bar so it seemed like we spent all day in there. Why they didn't open up the beach bar earlier in the day and more regularly I do not know. I understand it is an adults only hotel but I feel like a bit of a mixture in entertainment would have been nice (only signers) it felt very repeterative. I guess during the summer months these issues may not be as apparent due to nicer weather and being able to spend more time outside. However, as Lanzarote is busy all year round I would have expected the hotel to make reasonable adjustments throughout the year. Overall the hotel itself is 5stars but the service and experience given makes it more like a 3 star. I have been to multiple 4 star hotels that have been considerably better. If you can get a cheap price then I would recommend but from what I can see and have experienced it's extremely overpriced. :)
