Just back from a lovely 4 day break at the Melia in Santa Eulalia. There are many reasons to recommend this hotel. It’s only a 10 minute walk into the little town where there are bars and restaurants aplenty, special mentions for Sidney, Bollywoods and San Martino. The hotel is immaculate, rooms are lovely with nice touches such as Rituals toiletries, clean towels in abundance (not sure how that’s helping to save the planet but appreciated all the same!) big comfy bed, and we had a great balcony view overlooking the main pool and out to sea. All very nice and chilled however there are a few things that could do with improving. The breakfast service was a bit of a let down, the hot food was only ever lukewarm, not helped by the fact that the counter is opposite a big door that leads to the tables outside and it was always open. On breezy mornings this meant the lukewarm offerings went colder much quicker. The crockery had that horrible dishwasher smell that often occurs if the machine isn’t cleaned regularly. It was rather off-putting unfortunately. The staff weren’t very attentive or friendly. Twice we requested a pot of coffee rather than use the coffee machines which served up lukewarm drinks (in keeping with the rest of the breakfast offerings) and the individual we spoke to tried to talk us out of it! We never did get what we asked for either. It all felt rather lacklustre and not particularly enjoyable. We also noted that the later you came down to eat in the morning, what was on offer seemed much more limited. For a big hotel like this the breakfast service needs to improve.
