We just returned from our trip to the Melia Caribe. There were 13 of us and signed up for the Royal Service. My family likes nice hotels and have stayed in some amazing places - so perhaps the bar was set too high. We had 5 children with ages 20 months to 11 years old with the group and 2... More

After choosing Melia Caribe Tropical by pointing at a picture in a catalogue (long story, terrible Travel Agent), we were more than a little worried to see some awful reviews on TripAdvisor. My now-Husband and I traveled with a group of 101 of our family and friends May 12-19, 2013 for our Wedding and we couldn't have been happier with... More

This is my third tropical vacation. I previously stayed at two different resorts in Riviera Maya, Mexico. This was my first trip to Dominican Republic. This trip consisted of me and three of my buddies. We're all single, late twenty-somethings. So that should give you an idea of who we are. We stayed at the resort near the beginning of... More

This was my first time traveling to the Dominican Republic and I had heard mixed reviews about it so I was not sure what to expect. I was very happy to find that my experience was not at all like what I had heard from others. The Royal Service All Inclusive was great. The property was beautiful, the food was... More

My bf and I traveled to this resort May 11-17th. After a ton of research, checking out this resort it was disappointing, primarily the royal service. The royal service ruined this experience and left us both irritated and disappointed through most of our week stay. Nothing was explained, and what was turned into a different story when asking someone else.... More

We stayed for one week & overall enjoyed our All-Inclusive Royal Service stay. The service by our butlers, Pablo & Juan, was excellent. They attended to our every request or need. As we were there for a wedding there were 42 of us spread throughout this very large resort. Pablo consistently remembered the other locations(room #'s) of the others in... More

I had read many reviews for Melia on Trip Advisor before booking my trip. The grounds were amazing. The beach of course was the main attraction. The main area that housed the majority of the restaurants & bars was just luxurious. The lounging areas & specialty restaurants were very nicely decorated. The staff was very friendly & there was plenty... More
