Overall Ratings & Reviews Melia Costa Del Sol

Loved having “The Level” access. Perfect for breaks back at the hotel, nice staff, and not a terribly crowded poolside experience. Definitely worth the upgrade.

Good location across the street from the beach. Rooftop pool/bar nice as well. Not in downtown Malaga so you'd have to cab into old town area. Was perfect for our last night in the area and quick drive to airport next morning.

Wonderful vacation, June is now the NEW August in Spain..

The location is great but the building is old The sea view was partial The room had water leak from AC The AC is not cooling the room

We were three adults in an junior executive suite, which was spacious and we loved the large balcony with great views of the sea. Property was modernised, food at breakfast was good, and the beach area was great. Two things that were very annoying though: 1) the elevators in the main building! They were terrible. Very tiny, one wasn't working correctly, and they took forever. It comes across as an older building that was redone, but the elevators definitely need work. And the stairwell, which many people resort to, has carpet that's seen better days and looked terrible. And, 2) you have to pay €1 every time you want to exchange your beach towel for a clean one. I get being ecofriendly and eliminating people leaving towels around and constantly getting new ones. But, not automatically having a clean one for each day at the beach was rediculous and felt cheap. I'd much rather pay €5 more on the room then being charged every day for a clean towel that should be standard at a beach hotel. They don't dry overnight when they've been wet with saltwater. Yuck.

Better than the pictures

Very nice hotel. Great value!

Lovely hotel, super-friendly staff and fantastic rooftop pool and bar with stunning views.

Excellent room and property

Lovely hotel with amazing views from your room and the rooftop pool/bar. Delicious breakfast buffet was included. Central location across from the sea. Hope to return next year.

I think they need to update their hair dryers in the rooms. They are the worst and they destroy your hair. Also, eventhough we bought the meal package, they still charge $4.00 euros for water. The hotel itself is very nice. Not sure why they have to nickel and dime you.

Mixed stay at the Melia. I have stayed at multiple Melia's and usually have a great time. I think if we'd just been there a couple of nights it would have been fine but a whole week was too long. We stayed in May 2025 and there was renovation work going on, they are refurbishing the whole hotel. This is great but it's happening during the day, starting at 8am! So the Monday and Friday parts of our week were early starts, especially as we were right next to the rooms they were working on. So check with the hotel before you book as it's noisy and not relaxing in the slightest On the plus side we were in a renovated room and it was very nice. Paper thin walls but this is a 1960's hotel that they've done up so to be expected. The other parts of the hotel are good too. We upgraded to the LEVEL when we got there, I wouldn't really recommend this unless you get a good deal. Do not do it when you get there, it's not worth it. The LEVEL lounge and pool are very nice but that's all you really get. I don't think the upgraded room is worth it if you have a renovated room and the free snacks and drinks etc are definitely not worth the amount they charge each day unless you can drink EUR100 of spirits in 2 hours or lots of not very nice cava during the day. One very nice thing about the lounge was the breakfast, the main dining room was bedlam so to have a quiet space in the morning was good. All in all not my best Melia experience and I wouldn't go back
