We have visited for 26 years - excellent hotel
A very beautiful hotel in the style of a traditional Palace. Low key smart. Attentive staff. Fab pool, breathtaking beach and overall facility. Good choice of restaurants from Michelin to Buffet to bar snacks to a la carte. Beach bar a highlight. Very pretty environment, especially at night when the courtyard garden is lit up and fountains dancing. Tasty contemporary buffet. Great Prawns on grill. We have been visiting for the last 26 years since it opened and seen many evolutions but always for the better. Good sustainability practices.

Lovely!
Superb hotel. Location on the beachfront, in a wonderful setting.
The super clean facilities, the exquisite food, highlight the attention of David from the Room Service, was super friendly to us, detailed and very professional. The room is very large, with all the necessary details. The bed very comfortable and there are several pillows. We'll be back!

A Beautiful Palace.
Great beautiful place. Employees went above and beyond to help out. Always greeted with a huge smile and a hand on heart salute. Cleanliness was sublime. Breakfast in the beautiful El Patio restaurant was divine with an extremely wide range of food. Dinner in the Entrevientos was out of this world. Meats were exceptional.
All in all an extremely relaxing and enjoyable 3 days.
Thanks to everyone involved.

Disappointing stay
Having stayed in this beautiful hotel
twice a year for many years I was so disappointed with the quality of the food this visit. As I was alone I selected to eat at the buffet each night El Patio….
I like to eat early so I would be one of the first guests into the restaurant and every night the food was cold. The chef cooking the fish, langoustines, chicken , etc was waiting for guests to order then telling them it would be a 6-10 minute wait…. Why can’t they have precooked food and let the guests help themselves while the chefs cook more.
The paella was totally cold on the second night, chips soggy and cold, salads dried up and pork absolutely dry!
I have to say some of the cold starters were good, sushi one night was delicious.
The breakfast in the buffet on my 2nd morning had run out of the chopped mixed fruit I was looking forward too and there no croissants left. Breakfast ends at 10.30 and I was there at 9.45…. This should NOT happen in a 5 star hotel!
The fresh cooked omelette was good.
I also asked twice for a teaspoon which never arrived so I had to help myself from another table, again not 5 star service.
I hate to give this hotel a bad review as we have had wonderful times staying there but I really think the food in the buffet lets itself down badly when it could and should be amazing.
I stayed in the TUI Blu Playa Barrosa for a few days with a group of golfers earlier in the week and even though the hotel was full with 500 guests the buffet for both breakfast and dinner was just fabulous. Hot plates, huge paellas bubbling away, fresh crispy chips being cooked all during service, amazing grill with food ready to eat… fabulous. Please take note Gran Melia it can be done.

Very good hotel, except for the cuisine
The rooms of the hotel are very good. The pool is very nice, in our room nothing was missing. The very close beach is also great. The parking service also works very well: Drop off the keys, done. Special praise for the staff: Always friendly and smiling.
However, there are already 2 negative points:
-Our room was with balcony to the golf course with side sea view. Since the sea is very close, you can also hear the noise. Until operations start on the major construction site on the other side of the golf course. It's not very loud, but loud enough that you can forget about sea noise. And the little excavators kept doing it. We were there on the long weekend, so that was at least Saturday / Sunday no problem.
But what I am very unhappy with is the cuisine. Breakfast is weak for a 5-star hotel. Example: A lot of bread in "baking quality".
For 5-star prices, it also takes a little more than a lye bun, a patty and a slice of cheese with muddy fries (hamburger 22 euros). With a hotel with a connected 2-star restaurant, I know this completely differently from other hotels. Thanks to the reviews we had given up half board and that was "unfortunately" right, otherwise my review would be worse. We liked what we booked.
