On my way to the property at around 3pm I was contacted by the property staff that they were overbooked and put me in another property.
I chose it especially for the location, because we were leaving on a cruise the next day and booked it 6 months in advance.
I felt ripped off. Somebody obviously paid more than us at a last minute. If this wasn't the case why wouldn't the hotel contact me well in advance?

Large clean room with a good comfortable bed. It has a very nice restaurant and although next door there is internal access which was not pointed out to us. We arrived extremely early after an all night flight and were offered an early check in. It was well worth the extra

Great place to stay. The rooms are clean, the staff is friendly, and the breakfast is delicious. The cruise terminal is conveniently located just four minutes from the hotel. One small suggestion would be for all front desk staff to have at least a basic level of English, as some communication with the reception team requires the use of a translator. Overall, a 10 out of 10 experience.

This hotel is directly across from the cruise terminal, thus very convenient for travellers!
Staff stored our suitcases until check in time at 15:00 hrs.
Friendly multilingual staff, huge room with comfortable beds, a couch, a table and chairs, a desk, large balcony with chairs, kitchen is complete, and it was quiet. Everything was spotless, and had a great sleep. Huge indoor and huge outdoor swimming pools, nice sitting areas, great breakfast with 3 menu options to choose from, large fitness room, and roof top patio areas. Wifi in lobby and room. There are restaurants on both sides of the hotel, and we were happy with the fantastic price via Hotels.com.
Considered a little downside to mention is that the area to walk to the city at night may not be safe, as locals call it the getto. We did not notice anything but we were there only during the days. Easy for taxi or Uber to pick up and costs to the city were cheap, under US$15.
Would definitely stay there again!
Thank you :)

Hotel doesn’t have an entry way or place for taxis to park. We had to cross the street during pouring road to get to our cab, while carrying heavy luggage. It is unbelievable a Melia affiliated hotel doesn’t have a designated loading space.

Too far out
The flat was ok and spacious but there is almost no bedding and it was freezing.
No coffee machine either...their reply was this is only for the 'more exoensive flats'. Seriously?
We wanted to walk there late at night but then realised how far it was and the fact that it wasnt safe on the way, as quite a dodgy guy started following us.
Only convenient if you have a car....
