I loved the layout of the room itself, the amenities offered and the overall customer service of every employee there. The front desk was so helpful when I had questions. The spa was serene and it was an overall perfect weekend getaway. Highly recommend!! Will most definitely be returning in the future.

The hotel had a fantastic buffet breakfast and pool. Incredible spa. Great drinks from the bars. Close proximity to the Bom Jesus do mont which you can watch the sunset from the top. Stunning views from there. The area directly surrounding the hotel are roads/highways, McDonalds and a university so this wasn't very scenic. Luckily the historical area of braga was only a short 10 minute uber away.

Staff were super pleasant and professional and, bar a wonky wall mounted rack in the bathroom that meant we had to put our soap on the floor, the room was clean and well kept. Air conditioning temperature is locked at 19 degrees centigrade as the lowest temperature possible. Not ideal for everyone especially as hot as it was. Overall, totally enjoyed the stay and would chose the Melia again at the drop of a hat.
