We stayed at the Melia Barajas for 1 night to be close to the airport. The property provided free shuttle service from terminal 2. The property featured a big pool (and a small children’s pool) which were wonderful for cooling off during the heat wave. We ate at the poolside restaurant for lunch which was so well decorated and a lively vibe. There’s another nice restaurant (or 2) on site but we didn’t eat there. We did opt for the breakfast buffet in the morning and that was fantastic! Omelette made to order, fresh fruits, meats, cheeses, cereals, pastries, waffles, pancakes, they had it all and it was a great way to fill up before heading to the airport. There was also a McDonals directly next door (a plus for those with picky children). Overall, you cannot go wrong with this property for a short stay. There is also on site parking for those with more extensive plans.
