My wife and I just returned from our fourth trip to this fantastic resort. After meeting and speaking to several other guests, we've all came to the same conclusion; why go anywhere else? This place has it all. But what really makes the Melia Caribe special are the people who work there. When my wife and I arrived, we were... More

We were in Punta Cana at the Melia Caribe Tropical for a week at the end of January, 2012. It was one of our best beach vacations ever, and we've been to a lot of places! The service is wonderful at the Resort; the waiters and maids and hotel workers in general are so friendly! We were in the Royal... More

We travelled Feb 4th through Feb 11th. We spent our honeymoon there and did not upgrade for the royal service. We just wanted a room to sleep and shower in and still was blown away. When we checked in they had us on a separate side from all the families, which was nice since we left 2 kids at home... More

Having come off a terrible 4.5 star all-inclusive experience in Huatulco several years ago we decided to give it another try at the Melia Caribe - it more than exceeded our expectations and we spent a wonderful week there. We upgraded to Royal Service and would caution everyone that this is the only way to go - truly worth the... More

This was our 5th visit to the melia caribe and our brother in law's second visit. We all agreed that the Melia Caribe just keeps getting better. Our rooms were upgraded upon arrival. We had no problems getting reservations to the restaurants. All our meals were good to excellent and the service was great. Our only complaints were that the... More

This resort has steadily lost its appeal do to making some resturants extra and reducing food slections at the other resturants. Service staff is inadequate to handle the number of guests. What food is available at the buffet is always cold with the exeception of the omlettes in the morning and a few grill selections at lunch and dinner. if... More

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.
