What a huge disappointment this hotel is. After traveling on the Camino for several weeks and staying at various Alberque's I was looking forward to being spoiled at a high class hotel for a few days. Unfortunately, I received better service at any Alberque I stayed at then I did at Melia Ria. Everything at this expensive hotel is an extra. Want to use the gym; its an additional charge. Want to use the pool; you must pay and they require everyone wears a bathing cap(the cap is also a added charge). Pool time and exercise time is also limited to 1 hour total per day. The hotel looks to charge for every little thing. They provide in room, coffee and free breakfast; however, they charge for coffee at 14:00 but it's free if you go to your room and make it yourself. If you are out of in-room coffee, the front desk gives you as many pods as you want for free. In general, the staff is friendly but does not understand Customer Service. The bar is open but you have to search for the bartender. Then they tell you "its easier for me if you pay now", so when I want a 2nd glass of wine I have to start searching for the bartender and start the process all over again. I don't know why they couldn't take my room number and let me run a tab. Next time, I will stay at an Alberque or a less expensive hotel where customers are appreciated and I can be better served. read more
