Cape Verde Holidays Llana Beach Resort and Spa

Wow! Just coming home from an absolutely incredible stay at Melia Llana and already dreaming of returning! From the moment we arrived, the amazing staff made us feel like royalty - their warmth and attentiveness shone through in every interaction. The buffet restaurant was simply superb, and in many ways better than the a la carte restaurants (definitely the Indian Sahel - the head chef needs to go to India to learn how to spice it up a bit!!l . The phenomenal location, with four other stunning five-star resorts nearby, truly makes this a prime spot. Trust me, going VIP is an absolute must - having access to all the restaurants elevated our experience to another level! The resort itself is beautiful, a true oasis of tranquillity and style. We have to give a special shout out to the wonderful team who made our days extra special: Danisio, Caterina, Juvan, and the master of cocktails himself, Luis, down at the Llana Level bar - his creations were divine! But the biggest shout out of all goes to Wagner, the head of VIP. He was awesome from the moment we booked, offering incredible support and ensuring everything was perfect even before we arrived. During our stay, he continued to be a star, checking in on us every day to make sure we had everything we needed. His dedication truly made our trip unforgettable. Finally, if you love Italian food, Signori Sassi is an absolute must-try! Without a doubt, it's the best Italian on the whole estate. This was a truly five-star experience from start to finish. We can't recommend Melia Llana highly enough and are already planning our return! ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐

I had a very enjoyable time at the Melia Llana hotel from 11 to 20 June. I must say that it was a very successful stay. The room was spacious and cosy, cleaned every day, which is not the standard in recent times and is explained by environmental protection. The crew was extremely friendly and always ready to help. The only one thing I could complain about was the amount of towels available. Furthermore, I noticed the lack of a person supervising the pool area. On the first few days there was no need to occupy the sunbeds early, but then a new turn of guests arrived and started to lay down their towels, and the sunbed owners appeared around midday. The presence of a pool area supervisor could also have helped to ensure safety and avoid jumping into the pool. Despite these minor inconveniences, I would wholeheartedly recommend anyone to stay at this location and hotel.

We stayed for a week. All depends on your expectations and previous experiences. If you expect 5* it is far from, but the room was clean, location is good, beach is great, service lacks attentiveness and genuine care. Food average, but edible and drinks made from local alcohol and everything is extremely sweet and artificial. Some of entertainment was good, but on the whole very repetitive. If you've seen it once, you've seen the lot. Live music on some nights which we enjoyed. Swim up rooms are overlooked from rooms above therefore not private. Lots smokers around and hotel should have designated areas for smoking and should not allow to smoke on balconies or around the pool as it can get really annoying. Hotel also has some signs of tired looking with low water pressure and often water being luke warm when a lot of people are getting ready for dinner. We would still consider returning, we would compromise on above for adults only, but if you are unlucky you will get some nuisance from other guests (loud music/smoking).
