“BANG for your BUCK”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed December 8, 2012

My wife and I were invited to the wedding of a long time friend's daughter. It was truly wonderful, the overall experience overwhelmed us at first but once we settled down, it was soothing and relaxing. Whether it was the beach near by, the massive pool or just laying out in the sun. The ability to be able to grab a bite, stop by the bar, hang out in the pool and play a little 6 on 6 beach volleyball all in a matter of 2 hours was just phenomenal, a true paradise. The workers were professional and wonderful; whether it be Julian Vicente, Evelin Recepcion, Jua Mendez or Heribert Matos, they all exceeded expectations. They are what completed the perfect trip, this was definitely worth it and i will be coming back soon, I appreciate the experience, thank you!

“Paradise is waiting for you”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed December 8, 2012

Below is our experience and we hope if you go, you enjoy the Melia as much as we have. To wake up in the morning surrounded by blue skies, pretty beaches, huge pools, great food and to add the best staff you could imagine - what more could you ask for? We keep returning because it's consistent. We know that every time we travel to the Melia in Punta Cana we are going to get the best service and feel like we have been in paradise. The Melia is well kept. The resort is very clean. The food is great and they have lots of variety. If you arrive in the morning or in the evening, the service is still great. We appreciate that the Melia is always tryng to improve their appearance and updating their property. There are lots of places to visit, but I know when we go to the Melia we are going to come home happy. What a pretty place to visit. Thank you to the Management and the staff for always making us feel like they really care about us. We wish we knew how to speak more Spanish so that we could always let them know how much we appreciate everything they do for us when we come to the resort. Mucho Gracias. The Groves

Room Tip: We prefer the Tropical side because their seem to be less children. Treat yourself to Royal Service...

“A Complete all-Inclusive Resort for Golfers”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed December 8, 2012

This is our 2nd visit to Punta Cana. We decided to try Melia Caribe Tropical because they offered 2 rounds of free golf for 1 week stay. I was blown away by the beautiful grounds when we first got there. There were so many different species of birds, plants, flowers and trees. They so professionally arranged. We upgraded to the Romance Suites, with in-room jacuzzi. This really made the stay really pleasant. In additional to the free golf rounds, the resort offerred many other free beach related activities such as swimming, wind surfing, snorkeling, kajaking, Hobie Cat sailing, volley ball, zumba, latin dance, Mamajuna making, curling, or just relaxing with a beach chair and several others that I didn't know. Some paid activities such as para-sailing, scuba diving, off-shore fishing and various kinds of power boating. It also has one the most elaborate set of pools I've seen, with a swim-up bar. Anyway, one never seem to run out things to do. My only complain would probably be the average quality of food. The food at the 2 buffet restaurants were acceptable. We tried 4 of the specialty restaurants that were covered by the hotel package. The services at all the restaurants were excellent. Except for the Capri, the food quality are OK. Since there is no fractional rating, I had to give the full 5-cirlce "Excellent" rating. I will cover the golf in another review.

Room Tip: Instead of the full Royal Service package, we choose the Romance Suite, which offer the same rooms w...

“Tropical Paradise”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed December 7, 2012

My travel group the Crazy8s went ot Punta Cana this year. We stayed at the Melia Caribe Tropical. The resort was very environmentally friendly. The grounds were picture perfect. There were Peacocks, Swans, Flamingos and other birds on the grounds. The rooms were very nice with modern features. The resort is so large that you take a Tram (runs constantly) to get around the property. It is great if you lke to walk to get your exercse. The buffet was typical just average food. The specialty restaurants were excellent. We only paid for one of the four that we ate at. The rest were included, you just needed a reservaton.

We went to the Casino and entertainment every night. The entertainment was fun lots of audience participaton.

The language barrier got to be a problem at tmes but we made it through. I would probably go back in a few years.

“Relaxing!”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed December 6, 2012

My husband and I are just returning from Melia Caribe Tropical and had a great experience! We were looking to relax and feel pampered and that is exactly what we got! We had Royal Service and think it really made a difference! Our butler, Vincente De Jesus was very accommodating and gave us wonderful service. He even drew a bath for us with bubbles, rose petals, and champagne one night! All of the ladies in the Royal Service lounge were very helpful too, especially Leeandra. The resort is large, but we were able to get a ride around the resort whenever we needed it. The Royal Service pool was amazing! We enjoyed most of the food that we had. We really liked the Italian, American, and Mediterranean restaurants as well as the Gabi, which is the Royal Service only restaurant. The grounds were absolutely breathtaking. The Royal Service beach area was perfect, too!

Room Tip: Royal Service upgrade is well worth it!
