My wife and I have been lucky enough to travel extensively over the last 6 years and have only visited one resort twice...this was it. Our travel has slowed with our 17 month old daughter but when we wanted to visit a resort this one came to mind because it was so great last time. In fact we are here... More

The place to be if you like to kick back and enjoy the fantastic beach and gorgeous property. The royal service is worth the upgrade especially the butler service, with special thanks to Eddy Sambo,Samual and Abel. They all did a fantastic job and made the trip that much more enjoyable with their attentiveness. While out to dinner they even... More

The resort per say has very beautiful grounds and I found the food to be decent. But unfortunately from my experience, that is where to good ended. I really don't understand the good reviews on here at all... RECOMMENDATION: Before I go into details, if you're stuck going there, upgrade yourself to the "Royale Service". If not, good luck.

At arrival the help made their best effort to make you happy starting at the front desk. However...first timers must realize although "all inclusive" tipping works ..for a week we bring 100 $1bills...One review said it's a huge resort...it has 2 trains [on tires] that take a long time to make the loop from main center of restaurants, theatre, bars,etc..from...

Just come back to the freezing UK after a three week break in the Melia again. Once again we were not disappointed with this hotel which has now become our "home on holiday". Food is excellent, although maybe the menus could be changed every now and again. Choice is great and the qualityis what we have come to expect of... More

Overall, this was a very nice hotel, with amenable staff, beautiful grounds, etc; the upcharge for Royal Service is worth every cent. The food, though plentiful, was not memorable. More importantly, whatever is was that they were calling "beef" was inedible; it was a little like the "shoe" my grandmother used to serve every Sunday. Even what was being called... More

We just got back a couple of weeks ago.....i will start with the good. The grounds were beautiful. The food was really, really good! Unfortunately, there were a few disappointments. Upon reception, we were put into the Tropical side even though it clearly stated on our reservations we were booked for the Caribe side. When asked to be moved, we... More

I had read the reviews of this hotel prior to my wife and I heading down there with friends last week. I was pleased to find that the hotel has resolved a number of the issues that people had complained about in the past. First, reservations for the al a carte restaurants have been automated through a kiosk system that... More

My husband and I were at the Melia Caribe January 29 - February 5. We had only one minor complaint....the so called time share people! Upon our arrival we had a very quick and efficient check-in. As we were walking down the lobby we were greeted by a very nice, smiling gentleman who asked us where we were from, bla... More
