We were sad that La Cabana didn't have Calamari and Spinach Crockettes. Also some of the food like pasta was cold that should have been hot at the Spices. We would have liked to have seen some pizza at the buffet.

Check-in problems
When we arrive at 2 o'clock in the morning we discovered that we had no room there,even if we had booked in April and we had to go to another Melia resort in the nearby. we were very disappointed also for the standard of the premises that it is not at all a 5-star hotel, as you can see from the picture. We had to argue all the time with the respinsables to have 2 roomkeys (not available we had just one ), to enter the spa and to reserve restaurants. Luckily all the ordinary staff was very kind and available to help and find solutions. The other Melia Dunas has more facilities than Tortuga and the beach is fantastic. Overall holiday was nice but for sure there is a lot to improve

Information about the area

Ilha do Sal, Cape Verde

Located in Sal, Melia Tortuga Beach is on the boardwalk/promenade, within a 5-minute drive of Ponta Preta and Viveiro Botanical Garden & Zoo. This all-inclusive resort is 2 mi (3.2 km) from Nazarene Church and 2.1 mi (3.5 km) from Santa Maria Municipal Market.

Sal is an island in Cape Verde. One thing can be found on Sal: sand. Deserts and dry valleys. But little oases, salt marches and dormant volcanoes also distinguish the appearance of the island.
