Melia Sol Y Nieve

We stayed at this hotel for 3 nights. We had an amazing stay. We stayed in the level suite which was perfect for a family of 3. The staff were so friendly and welcoming. The service from check in to check out was the best we have had in years. The spa is a must if you stay here. Very family friendly and great location.

Superb hotel right in the heart of the resort. Ideal location - 2 mins walk to the ski lift. Valet parking was a welcome surprise, concierge organised ski rental at a very good price. Service was excellent, lots of delicious food choice in the restaurant (half board recommended). Spa was incredible (payable locally at a discounted price). Overall this is one of the best ski hotels I’ve stayed in.

Atrocious hotel. This hotel is not 4 star, struggled to give it a 1 star. Health Hazards. The room No: 237 is: very dark, dated, very depressing, basic. Very very small, not enough room to hold suitcases (one had to go into wardrobe so we had not hanging space, the other had to go in the bathroom). Only just enough room to walk around the bed. Very very Very noisy, loud noise outside window until 1am, then at 7:30am drinks delivery right under window. No room insulation, could hear the next door guests snoring, the guests above using the toilet & shower, could even hear the guests walking down the corridor breathing. No decent sleep for a week! Asked to move rooms but reception said no other rooms available. We would have considered an upgrade to The Level but this was not offered. On the second day we only ate in the hotel (dinner buffet was included). We attended the evening dinner buffet where I had a salad. I got extremely bad food poisoning from here!!!! Was sick every 15 mins from Midnight to 10am the following morning – I was in very poor condition, exhaustion & severe dehydration. My husband asked at reception for help but they were extremely uninterested & said I had to go to doctor because doctor would not come out. I couldn’t walk without my husband’s assistance and was sick in the street getting to doctor, very sick in the doctors waiting room and sick on way back from doctor. Only stopped being sick after anti-sickness injection etc from doctor. The Spa – BEWARE HEALTH HAZARD. The Steam room fabric ceiling is covered in mould. This could be extremely dangerous to someone with respiratory problems going into such a mouldy steamy environment. Complained about all of the above to receptionist who said she would get a manager to come out and speak with mt – needless to say, a manger never appeared – they are completely disinterested in the welfare of their guests.

I booked this hotel as I am an independent travel agent and I was looking forward to writing a review for this hotel for my potential clients and my network of other agents who would advise their clients to visit. Upon arrival, check in was slow and disorganised and took quite a while. We had booked 2 rooms and luckily for us one of the rooms was upgraded to the level (no one told us at the time - we found out a day later when I checked the app) The second room was booked as a standard deluxe, but no one at check in even attempted to upsell an upgrade which was a shame as my friends would have paid for it if offered. A little disappointing that our room upgrade didn't come with all the benefits of the level tier - again had we known we would have paid the extra. Apart from check in all was fantastic at the hotel, we bought our lift passes at the machine in reception and I had booked our ski are with a company that partnered with the hotel so that was a breeze. Breakfast was wonderful, loads of choice and good quality food. We wanted to use the spa in the hotel and when we enquired we were told it was €39 pp, but if we listened to a 30min sales pitch we could go for free. We decided to see if the spa in the sister hotel was any cheaper and when we rang they said it was €25pp, so we booked it. On arrival we were told the spa was included in our package so it was free. A lot of confusion and misleading information here. Really the spa facilities should be included in the room stay. Especially as we were only allocated 1h 30mins. On check out, we purposely left a ski jacket in the room as the pocket zip had broken and we thought maybe one of the staff may like to keep it as it was in good condition and expensive but we already had bought a new one. I always leave toiletries or anything that staff could use again as I know it is appreciated. When we arrived home a few hours later my husband realised he had left his wedding ring on the bedside table when packing. He immediately rang the hotel who told him to call back the next day as no one from housekeeping was there. THREE days later he finally got through to housekeeping and asked had a ring been found and they said no. We asked was anything found in the room, they said no. They also failed to mention about the jacket being left in the room. After we sent an email directly to the hotel saying a ring and jacket was left, a few days later MIRACULOUSLY the ring and jacket had been found. Then I receive a second email the next day to say only the jacket has been found. Very confusing. I paid the postage to have my items returned to me that were supposed to arrive by the 13th Jan and after not receiving them I contacted the hotel who told me the items haven't even left the hotel yet, this was nearly 2 weeks ago when I paid the postage. So I still have no idea after no reply, if the wedding ring will be in the package! After this I am struggling to see how I can recommend this hotel to

Nice on the outside, but dated and dysfunctional inside. Needs serious modernisation, lacks good heating (or too good, their answer, open the window), and decent working showers, they are small heads that didn't regulate the temperature, so needed to be fixed. The same as the fridge, was not working on arrival, so very warm drinks, until fixed, but not very cold. Booked a family room. The bunk bed protector bar was not safe, easily comes off and the kids pool is dark and gross (plus you need a reservation to use it, as kids and their parents are not allowed in the nice spa pool). The walls are so thin you can hear the next door room snoring, talking, pooping, etc, and if you are on a corner to the street expect music to be heard. Not worth the money, nor was it 4 stars, should be 3, but the spa pushes it up. One of the worst melia hotels i have been to in Spain, disappointing, and overpriced. That being said most if the staff are nice and try to accommodate, but the old building is against them.

NOT SUGGESTED! OVERPRICED for a poor quality and service! No flexibility and no helping attitude. It was so disappointing from the very first day. - no help was provided for skiers where they can buy tickets (if the machine is out of order in the hotel) - the spa: not hot water and not cold either. Nor for spa feeling, neither for swimming (the area for kids is so small that my water-addicted kids did not want to go for the 2nd time) - the rooms are terrible noisy. Impossible to sleep without ear plugs - whenever we wanted to eat/book a table in the restaurant, they were fully booked but the tables were empty - the food in the bar is terrible - the ceiling in the sitting area is soaking Only positive: the service and assortment at breakfast I have also imformed the manager in duty about all of my concerns and bad experience to give them the chance to improve. No improvement while we stayed…
