Melia Villaitana

Our first stay ay the Level at Melia Villataina was (apart from a terrible check-in experience) a really enjoyable holiday. The hotel is designed like a small town of historic-style buildings in a beautiful landscape of gardens and pools. The hotel is divided into two parts with one specifically for Level guests including access to many lagoon style pools, restaurants, and the exclusive level lounge with drinks and snacks from 11am to 8pm (although at times this does get very busy and noisy and outside tables are limited). There is also access to a range of restaurants although these require payment of a supplement for those on half-board basis. Half board for Level guests gives access to an included buffet breakfast which is extensive and with high quality food and indoor and poolside seating. It also allows you to eat in the same place for a buffet evening meal, however, we ony did this for the first noight as it is a little like a cafeteria environment in an evening so we chose to pay extra to use the other al-la carte restaurants in the complex or got a taxi into Benidorm (we would only choose B&B next time). The grounds a beuatifully kept and the pools provide variety for everyone and safe access in many locations. The whole level area doesn't feel overcrowded as the sunbeds are well spaced out providing privacy.

First time I have been to this region of Spain. The hotel and staff were excellent. Esther and the team looked after all guests in the party during the past week. Rooms were spacious and well maintained. All the family and friends really enjoyed their stay and we would definitely return. The pools, sports facilities, gym and restaurants were excellent. Breakfast great also.

As always, everything is wonderful at this hotel. Special mention to Ancuta, who, although her absence in the Level is noticeable, is as always very attentive to everything in her new position.
