We loved the Level premium service, the staff were friendly, we had a Romance beach bungalow facing the sea, it was beautiful, the pick-up service was efficient, the food was good quality, we didn't get to enjoy the beach much, but we had a great pool. I send hugs especially to two employees of the restaurant and pool, Lilian and Paul I hope the Melia chain is good and generous to their employees, as they are caring and kind people.

We stayed at the Level for our Honeymoon and absolutely loved it. We initially booked at the regular part but were looking for a more quiet place for our honeymoon, and the Level was just it! We stayed in a beautiful bungalow, the food was absolutely amazing but most importantly the service was truly on point and exceptional! Every single person of the team did everything they could to make our stay as comfortable as possible. A special thanks to Lilian and the reception team for offering us a great solution for our late departure. A stay we’ll never forget! Asante Sana!!!

We stayed for 6 nights in Meliá Zanzibar with all-inclusive (our first time experience of resort holiday). And could not be happier about the wonderful week we spent there.
The resort is employing wonderful people who not only take care of guests 24/7 but also offer environmental and sustainable contribution to the communities, talent groups, and caregivers for animals of the Zanzibar. They grow their own vegetables, take care of abandoned animals, and have their own bee farm (!) all in perfect shape and free for visit.
The food every night was incredible delicious and versatile. Full board and lots of various drinks offered in all restaurants. Activities are plenty: tennis courts, swimming pool and great gym facilities.
The rooms are getting a bit dated, unfortunately. But the staff is trying to take care of it and renovate frequently. Also, cleaning services are quite good
Thank you to the staff for making our stay so memorable!

We stayed here for a week and it was perfect. The staff were super attentive, especially after a little hiccup at the beginning. We were looked after by Ali who is incredibly professional and an expert in customer service. In general we were impressed with the staff throughout the resort. Everyone was friendly and went above and beyond to make our stay super special. We immediately felt at home and enjoyed the many dining options. A special shout out to the Tamu Restaurant - the friendly waitress who looked after us that night was an absolute star. She even did a little photo shoot with us in the restaurant. The food at Tamu was outstanding, my favourite of all the restaurants. Well done to the chef! Most of the live music entertainment was great, we enjoyed the fact that there was no "forced" animation, it was super relaxing. Probably due to the time of year, we particularly enjoyed the peace and quiet - not sure what it's like in high season.
The gym is perfect and has everything you need. The SPA treatments are divine. We loved the service we received - facial, couple's massage & salt bath. It was just perfect.
Gabi beach is an absolute delight, especially at high tide. We appreciated the fact that there are security guards, which means no one comes up to you trying to sell you anything. We went into the village and loved seeing the locals and their shops. It is great to see a hotel like the Melia working with the locals and helping the community in this and many other ways. The sea view bungalows are an absolute delight and were the best part of our stay. We loved the sunrise views and the fact that we had more privacy.
One more thing about the staff: we salute you and your professionalism, even with sometimes rude and insensitive tourists. We can only imagine how difficult it must be and we won't forget your kindness. Asante Sana!

Best hotel experience I have experienced in East Africa yet! From the service, to food, to the facilities……. 10 out of 10 minus nothing! Thank you to the staff for making our special evening even more special. Looking forward to being back!
