Meliá Caribe Beach Resort

All inclusive fees and quality of food do not match. Food was Olive Garden like. Difficult to reserve and there were tricks to get reservation. Italian was fair, at best. Mexican was Chi Chi quality.

For a wonderful treatment go to the spa. I had a couples massage one day and an aloe wrap on a different visit. After the massages we were able to use their hot tubs, steam and pool for the day. They were warm and welcoming and i left with tranquility.

Outstanding experience at Melià Caribe Beach. We thoroughly enjoyed our stay in the hotel. Very impressive with beautiful gardens and lakes. The beach is gorgeous, with white sands and a lot of space to enjoy. The room is spectacular. Large, with a very comfortable bed and a jacuzzi!!! We tried all of the different restaurants. Great quality and variety of type of restaurants. The Japanese one was good fun too. Above all was the magnificent service. Smiles and good attention everywhere. The director, Juan Amaro, Alexis and their teams are doing an excellent job. Congratulations!!!

Overall, I know there are a lot of cons below but we really enjoyed our break! A holiday is exactly what you make it, we wanted some sun and time to relax and that’s what we got! The people were all really friendly and they really appreciate you trying to...

Overall, I know there are a lot of cons below but we really enjoyed our break! A holiday is exactly what you make it, we wanted some sun and time to relax and that’s what we got! The people were all really friendly and they really appreciate you trying to speak Spanish even if you’re not very good (like me). BUT if we only experienced the second half when it was super busy then I would be wanting some money back so I can see why there is some negativity… We had a mixed experience as we stayed for almost 2 weeks and the first half was so lovely and peaceful, the second half was overloaded with spring breakers, including a huge group of teenagers celebrating their graduation. I’m not sure why they were all allowed to book the level let alone drink in all honesty! Pros: - the level riviera restaurant was the best food and the best service (a big shout out to Ramon and Tracy!) - the grounds are beautiful, love all the wildlife - the level pool super relaxing, the entertainment is good but not consistent - only good when Ronny is there, he is amazing! - cape nao views for lunch - bargharita bar - good margaritas and old fashioneds! - you can get antibiotics and other health supplies from the gift shop - if they don’t have the antibiotics you need then the level reception can order them in for you - the sunrise on the beach - rumba breakfast - we quite liked - Hokkaido - I prebooked this before we went for the ‘birthday’ meal. You get lobster and steak and it was super fun! - the weather was beautiful! - walk down to the beach via the road next to the level pool and a buggy will likely pick you up, we enjoyed the walk but on a hot day got picked up and it was a bonus! - I popped a tip in the mini fridge with a note asking to give us more of the things we liked (mainly water haha) but it worked! - could always get a sun lounger / cabana at the level pool (but we are early risers so there by 8am) Cons: - the level concierge in general are pretty pointless, they struggle to book restaurants (some find it more difficult than others if they are newer to the team). The supervisor seems to have to approve the reservations which is baffling! Even if you escalate any problems they don’t seem to care as most people are complaining - to be honest, the restaurants outside of the level are a bit of a mixed bag so you’re not missing much if you don’t get a reservation! La hacienda amazing service, small portions to order a few mains to share, very slow in tauro and Rosso to get a drink so just grab one from the bar on the way in (we had one incident at tauro where we got served the table next to us main course because they left after waiting so long and it was cold, the atmosphere was horrible there though so we were glad to get out quick). Cape nao seafood linguine was lovely! - the drinks in the bars outside of the level are not nice and the paper cups all tasted weird! - rumba lunch buffet - all hot food was cold so we avoided any meats in case it made us sick - rooms need updating but they are big! - they seem to max out capacity during spring break but at the expense of the service declining, the riviera restaurant couldn’t cope with all the people at dinner, cape nao closed for lunch, loads of people couldn’t book restaurants, people started reserving sunbeds early but not using them until the afternoon, teens were going into riviera at lunch in their bikinis soaking from the pool, the kids were getting drunk by the bar and just being loud. Also not related to the hotel but I didn’t rate the excursions we did, Catalina island was nice but took almost 3 hours to get there and another boat trip that we went on, they went into the water with fish food to draw the fish in for snorkelling!
