Any info on Melia Caribe Tropical ?

Question

I'm going to Melia Caribe Tropical in Punta Cana next month. Can anyone give me some inside scoop on it so I don't spend my first two days figuring out what to do ? Also, do you have any recommendations on food or drink while there ? I want to maximize my 5 days there.

Answer 1

We stayed there in 2005.  It is HUGE!!!!!!  There is a little trolley that brings you around the resort for free and some horse and buggies too.  The food there was ok, definitely better in the restaurants where you make reservations.  You have to make your reservations early in the morning to get into the restaurant you want.  There is a little bar/club that is open at night called "The Fun Pub"  we renamed it "The Make Your Own Fun Pub" which is what we had to do.  There was a DJ there who would play the music we wanted and we danced and drank all night.  If you're not with a group to make your own fun with I wouldn't recommend this bar.  The resort is so big but it is really beautiful.  Just enjoy, find what you like and have a great time!

Answer 2

Go to TripAdvisor.com and you can read reviews from past guests, see destination guides, etc.

Answer 3

I heard that you have some really great resorts and that people tourists are really into the scuba diving, etc. Good luck.

Answer 4

First of all the Melia is a great hotel/resort. So you will enjoy your very short stay at the maximum. So drink a good Cuba Libre ( rum/coke) or a Pinacolada ( pineapple juice/rum) and eat some lobster (if served). Anyway try to come next time for 2 weeks. Enjoy it!
