Melia Zanzibar

We were at the hotel at the end of April 2024. It was our honeymoon, we had the Romantic room. Unfortunately, throughout our vacation we called the experts to fix something.
Why couldn’t this have been done before our arrival? so, we went into a rather cramped room. One of the advantages is a panoramic view of the ocean. One of the minuses is that the toilet is separated from the shower by a transparent partition. Melia seems to have a special concept of “romance.”
So, the list of problems in the room
1. Bathtub, in which the plug does not work
2. Telephone for contacting the reception, which stopped working on the third day
3. Electricity, which worked intermittently
4. We spent one day without hot water
5. In the evening there was not enough lighting and the light bulb above the sink did not work
6. Hairdryer that sparked when turned on.
7. The Internet did not work well.

the staff was friendly and resolved issues quickly.

But I came to relax, and not to solve management issues regarding savings on high-quality room renovations. I wrote a long letter to the hotel manager. Riccardo Maglione (manager) replied that he checked the room and did not see any problems.

Apparently, Melia's standard is for a guest to rest in a room without a telephone, hot water or Internet, as well as a bath without a plug.

I do not recommend the “Romantic” rooms to you, and suggest renaming them to the “Suffering” rooms.
