Meliá Villaitana

Complex is absolutely gorgeous, 4 swimming pools, friendly staff, family entertainment in the evenings (although we didn't watch as we wanted more energetic nightlife) and amazing kids club - they're entertained all day long. It was clean (apart from one of the poolside toilets, though that could've been somebody not being very well), the rooms are lovely too and immaculately cleaned every day. This is, which we didn't realise at the time of booking for families whose mums want a rest whilst the kids are entertained whilst their husbands spend the day on the golf course. It reminded me of "Kellermans" in dirty dancing.

The location for us was an issue. We were 10/15 mins drive from new/old towns and as there was nothing between the hotel and new/old towns other than dual carriageways (impossible to walk) we were left with no option but to taxi in n out (4 times a day at about €50 per day). Also because we were so far out without even a shop on the complex or within walking distance outside if we wanted food or drink it was extortionately priced €30 for a buffet style lunch and €3.50 for a litre bottle of water, €1.60 in town. €4.50 for a small bottle of beer and €3 for a large beer in town.
