6/10 Good

Very expensive for what they offer
The hotel is well located, but the buffet food for dinner and breakfast is very poor, the premium room did not have a bathroom, very expensive for what they offer

Lovely place
Béatrice Germaine, 2-night trip

4/10 Fair

If you want to use pool or gym there is a 15€/hour fee you have to pay. If you want to park you pay 9€/day. There are much better options for the same price, unfortunately I didn’t notice this before booking. Employees were very rude, very different from what I was expecting of a premium service. Rooms are old and not very well cleaned. On the more positive side bed is comfortable and breakfast is amazing.

10/10 Exceptional

Meliá ría was great! Location and property are really good . Breakfast as well. The only odd thing is that they charge you for the pool use, that having kids it’s a must. This wasn’t clear when booking

This is a wonderful hotel directly on the canal. The staff is amazing. Couples massage was wonderful. We were treated like royalty after a bad experience in Porto in the Portus Cale Hotel. Highly recommend this hotel, it was exceptional!

Paulo, 2-night trip

8/10 Very good

Melia Ria has a perfect location, just a few minutes walk from the main attractions in this small town. The hotel is an excellent option when you are doing a road trip through Portugal, we were doing Porto to Lisbon and chose this stop to enjoy this small but charming town and also Costa Nova, pretty close to there. The facility is good, it has a good restaurant and the staff was very friendly and helpful. The parking of the hotel is very small and annoying, but there are options for free in the neighborhood, honestly, trying to use the underground parking that they will charge daily was a waste of time.
ELIZABETH, 1-night trip

8/10 Very good

Good and nice hotel. the breakfast is good, but all the dishes that should be hot are absolutely cold.
Biana, 4-night trip

Great location for interacting with the city, birdwatching at the salt fields, and collaborating with the university. The rooms are hot at night Note that the windows open to let in cool air.

1-night trip

10/10 Exceptional

We really enjoyed our stay at the Melia. The only thing I would suggest is to advertise that the access to the pool isn’t free (12€/pers).
Laurie, 2-night trip

10/10 Exceptional

Because we were a big group, we had access to sauna, massages, and turkish bath. We loved it
