My family (kids 3 and 5) stayed from March 6-13. The best way to describe this place is massive. This is both good and bad, depending on what you like. We got lost a few times, never saw a couple of the pools. On the plus side, you always have somewhere to wander around. The size also makes it hard... more

The resort is ok and would strongly advise you upgrade to Royal Service just for the pool and Gabi restaurant. However it wouldn't hurt if a worked used a pool skimmer every now and then. I did not use the pillow menu, butler service, and did not see any luxury bathroom amenities. As for the "Gabi Beach" I was disappointed.... more

We stayed at The Melia Caribe side...and this resort is very beautiful. We arrived on March 10th and we had an easy time with check in. We were at first a little overwhelmed with the size of the resort, But believe me after a day or two there you realize it is not as HUGE as others have stated. It... more

Stayed at the Melia with my family in March 2010. We have young kids 4,6, and 8. Overall I would say the hotel met my expectations, and we had a pretty good trip. However I will mention a couple of things you may want to know. The resort is getting a bit old, and needs a refresh. Not so much... more

When we first arrived we were overwhelmed at the size of the resort. We thought it was beautiful, then we got to our room. The airconditioning did not work, the bed was so old that both my wife and I rolled to the middle. We found the staff would only respond to your "Hola" but not with any level of... more

Amazing hotel accomdations. Very kid friendly and very clean!! I have two small children 2 and 4 and they loved the pool, the food and the ice cream. Staff was very nice and the rooms were very clean. Ask to be upgraded to royal service and was worth every penny. I would reccommend this resort to families with small children.... more

We stayed the first week of March, 2010. The weather was not very good, but the hotel is... We did not have problems for checking in and out, very easy. Left our bags with the bell boys and walk to the room. We stayed in building 31 (not RS). At first, everything looks very distant and lots of walk will... more

Our 3rd return trip. Grounds spectacular, food great. HOWEVER we have opted for the Royal Service and THERE IS A DIFFERENCE! Have recommended this place to two other couples and did not have the Royal Service and were not nearly as happy as we have been., Also, tho not bad, the condition of the suite was not nearly as good... more

We had a wonderful time at the Melia. It is the only resort we ever stayed at in the Dominican that I would definately return to. We got a free upgrade to Royal Service and if I don't get it next time, I would buy it. It is inexpensive and totally worth it. The suites and grounds were meticously groomed... more
