This hotel is excellent. It is in a good area right across from the beach. The lobby is beautiful and the floors are clean. If your Spanish skills are not very well they have a well trained staff and I would say 90% of the staff speaks good English and are willing to help you no matter what. You have... more

I spend six days here while attending a conference combined with a few days vacation. This was my first trip to the DR and I was a bit apprehensive about what I would find but I was very pleased with the hospitality and the accomodations at the the Melia. This is a vey good hotel. I found the check-in to... more

Since I got there until I left everything was excellent. I booked a Standard and got a Deluxe. The service was great and warm, nice room (8th floor) with pool and ocean view.

But it is given reluctantly at best.... more

Centrally located, good security (prevents the next door neighbors ladies from strolling in), hotel food very good. Would also recommend for family stays. more

The rooms are terrible. Everything in the rooms looks old and runned down, and the service is the worst. When I checked into the room I placed my valuables and money in a safe which ended up getting jammed. In the time that it took them to open it, I missed the even I had traveled to DR for, and... more

Stayed here for a week and was very impressed with the service and the quality of the room. Sheets were soft, pillows were good, and it had unbeatable views of the sea. Would not recommend the restaurant as the quality wasn't fantastic, it was overpriced and there are many better (and cheaper) restaurants nearby. more
