We did not take the Royal service upgrade, but stayed with the std room, maybe that was the mistake. Arrival was a breeze apart from the photo taking on landing, (this is not for any immigration requirements, but they won't let you out of the coral until the foto is taken) all most passengers want to do on arrival is... more

This was our 2nd time to stay at the Melia Caribe Tropical. My wife and I had decided this time to upgrade and pay for the "Royal Service" which we were fortunate to look at on our last vacation at the Melia Caribe Tropical and thought it would be a wonderful experience and worth checking into. Especially this time as... more

After booking the Resort back in May 09 I was looking for info and came across Trip Advisor. Reading some of the reviews I wondered "what have I gotten into" as some didn,t seem to favorable. Let me say after spending a week there I did not find 1 thing written to be true. Check In was about 15 minutes,Staff... more

We stayed for 6 nights in a Royal Service Master Suite. First and foremost – STAFF! EVERYONE was so, so nice! Just say “Hola” and anyone will greet you back if they didn’t greet you first. Everyone, from housekeeping to groundsmen to, well, everyone! The bar guys on the beach serving drinks act like you are their best friend. The... more

Beware of staff trying to sell you timeshares!!!!!! If they ask you if "checked in yesterday" say no or you'll get suckered into doing a VIP or Melia Club Member orientation. In other words, they're trying to sell you a timeshare. Gift Shop Stop by the gift shop and check out the prices of items. Don't buy anything and then... more

Our stay was an overall beautiful experience. We had 15 extended family members stay for my dad's 80 th birthday. The rooms were beautiful, but we booked the Royal Service to accommodate my elderly father--supposedly guaranteeing a butler and golf cart transportation. Unfortunately, the butler assigned to us never showed up after check-in and we constantly waited for transporation for... more

My family traveled to the Melia Carive Tropical Nov 2-9, 2009. We were a rather large group - 27 people total. Everyone was in royal service except for 4 rooms and what a difference between the service. My husband and I stayed in 5027 1-bedroom master suite. The room was beautiful and we never had a problem. The refrigerator was... more

Went in June 08 on our honeymoon. Was told that the resort was perfect for "honeymooners" but was most definitely not the case. If you want peace and relaxation don't go here. The resort was full of families who were really noisy (not want you want on your honeymoon), the staff were on the whole unhelpful and unfriendly and the... more
