It’s simply not acceptable for guests to monopolize loungers by tossing a towel at sunrise and disappearing for hours. A fair system should allow a short grace period—30 to 45 minutes—after which staff clear unattended chairs and neatly place belongings in a designated area. This ensures everyone has an equal chance to enjoy the pool without playing a daily game of “towel wars.

One of the best hotels in the area

Got a call from staff about a noise complaint around 1400 that wasn't us. The staff proceeded to threaten us with security after i politely informed them they had the wrong person. Told them they could come see for themselves and continued to be rude. Also gave us the wrong room even though i paid for a better one. The area is beautiful but the cleaning people would come into our room when i had the do not enter sign on the door

Melia South Beach and Melia Calviá are basically 2 buildings but the same resort. The rooms are nice and clean and housekeeping is great. The location is wonderful with the beach and restaurants all right there. Very walkable. We purchased the half board option meaning breakfast and dinner were included. I would only buy the breakfast option in the future. The only dinner included was the buffet and the Calvia and it was not good. We only ate there 2 out of 6 nights and it was not good. They also charge you for drinks at this dinner, even water! I felt nickeled and dimed - we paid for an all inclusive dinner but we had to pay 8.50 EUR for a bottle of water. Also it wasn’t clear that the only included dinner option was the buffet so we went to the seafood restaurant the first night, only to be given a large bill The pool area is very nice and clean. You must put your towels out very early or you will not get a lounger. We ended up purchasing the double sunbeds for 60 EUR per day so we had a place to be. There are only 7 of them and they sell out. I booked them our last days ahead of time. They won’t be available on the same day. The breakfast buffet was really good with lots of options. You can get a taxi to Palma for 45 EUR and the front desk will call them for you. The oceanfront room was very nice but it said there was a balcony but it was only a few inches. The Calvià looked to have larger balconies that you could walk on. Book the calvia and use the South Beach pool.

You have to pay for nearly every amenity it seems like after already paying plenty for the room. 2/3 of the beach was completely closed for our entire stay which is out of the control of the resort but then they still expected you to pay for a beach lounge chair and didn’t provide any additional chairs near the pool. I’ve stayed at other Melia resorts before and this is by far my most disappointing experience.

The hotel is clean, the staff is friendly, the buffet is good, the views are amazing and is organized. The food in the restaurant is gross. My husband ordered a medium well steak and he got well cook that taste horrible, the waitress took it back and he lost the appetite that night

The AC would not get cold, it typically stayed around 20

Beautiful property

Great

The hotel staff are amazing, and the hotel is clean and very

I’m only giving 2 stars because Claudia at the front desk was a gem, and the only helpful person at this hotel. My check-in took an hour as I booked a partial sea view room and they gave me a room facing the courtyard. I complained and had 2 staff members check out the room with me in which they just stated they were sold out of other rooms and I could pay an extra $50/night for a better view. I escalated to guest services, and they did nothing for me! My 48 hr holiday started off on a bad note. Their food options were limited, room service menu was poor, and restaurants closed early. I also got the stomach bug after their breakfast buffet that lasted 3 days. All in all, I wouldn’t stay there again nor would I recommend others.

the hotel is beautiful but they have horrible bad service, they have employees for fun, they don't help each other and they close places to eat in broad daylight where you can't even order anything to eat, the room service doesn't work at all, we called at night to eat something and the only thing they had was a wrap with cold chicken without sauce, the air conditioning is limited and in hot weather you literally can't sleep well because it's too hot. I hope they take my comments into account because I really don't want to come to a Meliá anymore, I went to one in Cuba called Paradisus by Meliá and it's a catastrophe and now I come to this one and again problems with the service, let me tell you that you may have the most beautiful hotel in the world but if your service is the worst hotel in the world, thank you

We stayed four nights at the Melia South Beach and loved it! Definitely the nicest resort on the beach in Magaluf. Loved the room and frontal sea view. The pool area was clean and well kept. Resort staff were helpful and pleasant. The breakfast buffet had a wide variety of options and was delicious. Suggestions: there is a small table in the room but no chair, would be nice to have a chair to sit and apply makeup etc. Also the bathroom has a light sensor so every time you enter the light automatically turns on which in the middle of the night can be annoying. Takes about 5 minutes for it to turn off. Also the AC could have been 1-2 degrees cooler. The pool area can definitely use more loungers as people put towels on them and save them. One day we had to walk around for quite a while and wait for some people to leave. Can’t imagine what it will be like in high season July/August. Otherwise everything was wonderful and I would definitely stay here again. I think next time I would upgrade and get a room with a balcony.

This is a nice hotel in a very live and beautiful neighborhood. The view is magnificent, and the beach is great. Pools' hours of operation was really awful; 10 to 18 while it's bright and warm from 7 to 21... I didn't like this part. From reception desk to elevators, there are few steps: no ramp and no body from hotel to help!!! Showering was challenging too as water was hot and became cold in a second.

The property was beautiful and modern. It was mostly clean although we found the room to be a bit dusty and the floor did not feel clean. The room was luxurious and we enjoyed out stay!

The room was noisy the door was drafty and did not close properly the shower was very hot then cold

It was such a nice hotel! Everyone was friendly and it was clean.

Everything was perfect! The hotel is in a convenient and beautiful location. The half board was worth it!

The hotel and grounds are nice, many of the staff are nice, and the food at the hotel is good. However, unfortunately, the hotel next door plays extremely loud rave/dance "music" for 12 hours a day, every day/night. So loud you can feel the vibrations constantly, and you can't have a conversation or even hear the TV on full volume! It's like being in a nightclub. If you like that type of thing - great, but if you are looking for something more quiet and relaxing - I'd consider another area.

The air conditioning wasn’t great.
