I love everything about the Melia Caribe Tropical. The grounds are beautiful. The rooms are very clean and comfortabe. The restaurnts are great. Ilove the beach and the pools. The stalffis friendly and helpful. Entertainment is great. Since my first visit there in 2000, I have tried to go back at least once a year.
wonderful resort and impecable service. The people were awesome!!!!
Hotel was very nice. The rooms were spacious and ckean. We couldn't get into most of the restaurants. They were always booked but when you went there, the tables were empty. There were 10 of us and we were able to get rooms all in one area without a problem. Pool and beach area are far from the rooms. They do have a train that circles the complex if you don't want to walk. There is definitely a language barrier. For a resort, I would have thought that there would have been more English speaking employees. It was hard to communicate with some of the wait and cleaning staff. Not sure if the unwanted pets (cockroaches and frogs) in the rooms could have been avoided but I would suggest emptying your luggage outside of your house to make sure you didn't bring anything home with you. The airport transfer company (Turinter) was terrible. The trip to the hotel should have taken 20 minutes and it took 2 hours. Again the language barrier with the driver who had no idea where he was going, didn't help. It is a nice resort, very beautiful grounds with roaming peacocks. Very friendly grounds crew who were always offering fresh coconuts.
There were a lot of great things about Melia Caribe, and not much to complain about. The room we had was fine, very clean, and close to a restaurant and the beach. There were SO MANY restaurants to choose from, we were never bored with the food! My kids loved the soft-serve ice cream machine. The beach and pools were beautiful and well-kept, and the staff was wonderful, with organized activities at the pool and beach all day long. Would definitely recommend this resort, and CheapCaribbean made it very affordable!!
The location and beach are great, kids club and nursery were the biggest highlight. As for the rest, you really need to have a pink bracelet to be treated at full service. Lots of extra chargeseverywhere. We run out of baby food - luckily they did have it available at the little convenience/suvenir store... for $4 per jar! Diving right off the beach was great, but when we had issues with the scheduled diving trip it was handled terrribly - by the hotel staff as well. Entertaimant was decent, but nothing exceptional. But overall the kids club made it all worth it - it was truly the greatest program we ever saw, anywhere!
Lots of exotic birds kept the bugs away. Sprawling grounds left plenty of room for adults and children to play. Loved the dinner options.
I have to say that I would do yjis resort again for the price and service it was well worth it.
everyone should upgrade to the Royal Service. Even then, we had a problem with our room. The ceiling was leaking water from the room above us. When I complained, they moved us into the Villas across the pool. Beautiful........ I would recommend staying in those.
I'm an airline employee, and get a lot of deals through numerous airline only companies. However, Cheap Caribbean tickets, in this case, had the best offer I could find. I booked everything online, but had a couple of questions after the fact. They were easy to get in touch with on the phone, and extremely helpful. I would definitely use Cheap Caribbean Tickets again. The only thing to avoid would be as you leave the airport, there are companies there trying to sell you things.
This place was all around fabulous! I'm not the all inclusive resort type but for the few days we decided to stay here, it was the best ever. The hotel is huge, it has multiple pools, beautiful beaches, many restaurants to choose from, food was delicious and staff was always helpful. We stayed for 3-4 days and each day we realized there was another part of the grounds we had not discovered.
