We booked our trip in October so I had 3 months to read all the reviews and have anxiety about all the negative things that were said. The first day we got there I kept waiting for something to go wrong so I could make sense of all the bad reviews and all the "horrible" trips people were writing about.... More

We stayed at the MCT in April of last year (2011) The MCT is absolutely beautiful! We have stayed at many AI over the years. This resort is the biggest we have ever been to. There are 2 “sides the” Caribe” side and the “Tropical “side. We stayed on the “tropical side” There was lots of walking, which we didn’t... More

First of all, I'm an adventure traveler. My girlfriend likes the resort all inclusive style holidays which is what this definitely is. So many people we met talked about how this is their favorite resort. We stayed on the Royal service side which was pretty nice... the room was large, clean and pretty high end. They offered custom pillows every... More

Just came back from a 7 night stay at the Melia Tropical. The food and service are average at best. Aso to me all inclusive means just that all inclusive. When eating at one of the restaurants the waiter tried to tell us that there was no house wine that came with the meal and that the wine had to... More

We just returned from Melia Caribe Tropical, it was wonderful from the moment we arrived. We were greeted by Ody, who was efficient and so sweet, she took care of our dinner reservations for us for the week. Vasouez checked us in and upgraded us to a wonderful room which we loved, it made our vacation special! Our maid Bonita... More

I am not really a resort type individual. I would say overall Melia Caribe was as good as a resort gets. One specific bar stood out, which was the pool bar - Bar Picima Caribe. Comapared to the other bars, these gentlemen always had a smile on their face and made awesome drinks. Rafeal Amador, Rafeal Rom Dom, and Jose... More

Food,service,rooms,pools and grounds were all very good. Only once had an issue with service at the breakfast buffet. The resort is huge, but there were almost always golf carts to take you anywhere you wanted. Entertainment was so-so, the 6 Ala carte restaurants we ate in were all very good, food and service. A couple of days walking the main... More

Great family friendly resort. Lots of activities for the kids - Kid's club for toddlers and smaller children, adventure camp (rock climbing, zip lining etc...) for older children / teens. Staff at Kid's Club are excellent. Our kids (ages 6, 8 and 10) loved it. Antonio and staff are amazing with the kids - Great job! We found the service... More
