We are currently staying at the Melia Tortuga and it is wonderful. The people complaining about the hotel, food etc, really need to get over themselves. Full review when we get home in 10 days!

We stayed 3-10 May, our first visit to the Tortuga although we have been to the island twice before. This hotel was far superior to the Garopa in every aspect. We had a two bedroomed spacious apartment mid-way between reception building and the beach - perfect!. Could not fault the accomodation which was cleaned to a very high standard daily.... More

My husband and I stayed all inclusive for a week in March. We stayed in a two bed room apartment and it was lovely. The apartment is very spacious. My only critism is that you have to pay an additional 20 euro to use, which I think is a rip off. We tried every resturant and we really enjoyed the... More

We booked an all inclusive package with Thomson. The hotel is 15 minutes drive from the airport. It is a 5 minute drive from the town. We were given a 2 bedroom, 2 bathroom apartment, with lounge, kitchen and balcony. The apartment overlooked the main pool and had a sea view from the bedrooms. It was very clean, had iron,... More
