At Meliá Caribe Beach Resort-All Inclusive, travellers praise the lush grounds, large pools and kids’ water park, while feedback is mixed on service and dining, with many enjoying friendly staff but others citing inconsistent quality and hard-to-get restaurant reservations.
Rooms are generally spacious but often described as dated, with recurring maintenance issues such as weak or noisy A/C, leaking fixtures, malfunctioning TVs/minibars and unreliable key cards. The Level upgrade is frequently viewed as a worthwhile step-up for calmer pools and dedicated concierge, though upselling and access rules can be confusing. The beach and grounds impress, but sargassum and persistent beach vendors are noted, and internal transport can be slow with long waits. Expect a beautiful, family‑oriented resort with standout areas if you upgrade, but uneven operations in standard areas.

Facilities
Large pools and a popular kids’ water park stand out; the grounds, beach access and nightly entertainment draw praise. Internal shuttles and pool loungers/towels draw frequent complaints, some facilities feel dated or close early, and Level areas are calmer and better serviced.

There is never enough space to eat in the restaurants. Getting around the hotel is a problem with transportation on the golf carts, there are very few. Some of the employees, not all of them seem as if they do not want to help you or provide what you need. We paid a Premium Level package and it did not seem like a premium service. To start with, the drink we ordered was told they did not have it, we had to call the managers to help us since they did have it. I think that if I pay for a Level package it is to have first class service and not have any problems or ichus. I want to highlight an employee who did his best to ensure our stay and excellent treatment. Olimer Martinez was attentive and always with a good smile.

The property was very beautiful. Many lush, well kept gardens and water features, as well as great pool and beach access. The food was decent with many options to choose. The downside was our room was a bit dated (but clean.) Housekeeping did leave thinks out in the corridors which made it a bit cluttered. Our AC was not the coolest but the ceiling fan helped a lot when we were in the room. Overall, this property was a good value for the money.

Main pool was closed for maintenance so we were upgraded to The Level. On arrival check in took an hour, after 30 mins more waiting for a buggy we said we would walk to room to find it was literally opposite reception area, another 30 mins for luggage to arrive. Queueing for main buffet took too long

Grounds were beautiful and facilities were in good condition. Lots of space and options for guests. Service was not always friendly or prompt. Property was large and while walkable it was a long, hot walk. They have trains and carts to help with transportation but at least half the time they do not stop at the designated stops even if they have plenty of room.

Towels were missing three days! So when you got out of the pool/sea, you couldn’t go to lunch options because you were wet… but they didn’t provide towels… service outside the dining were lacking, no real way to relax in the beach, you had to go make lines for a water… or soda… in the flip side: -good food (buffet), and tauro restaurant. Others were ok to bad - kids activities were well planned and executed - trains/carts back and forth from lobby to beach weren’t often/big enough, many times having to wait a lot or just walk… - too many sales going on all the time. You are approached too much to buy entertaining options (parasailing/snorkeling/etx) For the money paid, it was mediocre at best. -

Spa prices are not what the online page said. The coupons Expedia said we would be getting were not true, they were different in how you can use them and also not the amount of 30$. We didn't get the wine bottle also even when we asked for it in the lobby. The jacuzzi didn't worked at first, but the repaired it next day. Food in buffet is ok, food in restaurants is very good, good alcohol drinks only in lobby bar. Service good, pools good, beach good. Very clean hotel. Low score only because of the Spa annoyance.

The property grounds are the only positive. Room had open sewer line releasing bad odor in the air and roaches coming in. Mentioned to front desk, and no one showed or cared Kids caught hands, foot, mouth disease. Assuming from the pool not being clean I ate a dessert that tasted like it was sitting in fish water. Dessert was a vanilla cake Bell boy never showed after being told he would be there in 5 mins. We carried our luggage and babies manually (no elevator) Staff was 50/50 nice vs attitude. (I always tip$)

We were really excited to visit since a family member visited 3 years ago and loved it but we unfortunately didn’t share the same experience. The property has a lot of foliage and a lot of still water around creating a Mosquito breeding ground. We were being eaten alive. Some areas had a strong garbage smell and overall the food wasn’t great. Our Room was nice and our Concierge Jhonny took great care of us. Shout out to the bartender Luciano and Ana, Grill cook Roberlito who treated us like family!

Rooms very destroyed and dirty, roaches walking around like they are home, air conditioning not cooling and getting broken, maids barely clean, you can notice that bathrooms are dirty from long before. You have to wait long lines to get into the restaurant, the menu is very similar everyday with minimal variety, minimal seefood given that you are at the beach. Coffee is from button machines/dispensers, not good at all. Very dissapointed in general. Personnel were kind but many had an attitude toward turists.

Liked the lobby area, very well done and cute. The food at the restaurants was good overall. The beach is nice, very swimmable, soft sand. Bed was very comfortable. Nice gym and yoga area. Did not love: the rooms are dated and have hospital style rolling cots in the room as an exta bed. The room wifi went in and out a lot. Did not have a nice soaking tub. The air condition was super loud and would turn on and off several times an hour waking us every time. The exercise classes were really basic but if you have your own app you can use the space and get a decent workout.

Worth upgrading to The Level, the food and service at Riviera is a lot better and the pool isn’t as busy as the main one. If you’re lucky enough to be served by Santa then you will be well looked after she is the best - each morning and afternoon she knew exactly what we needed and had it ready for us. The hotel grounds are stunning, buggy service is great and the peacocks roaming the grounds are stunning. Rooms could do with an upgrade but they are spacious and do their job. Kids Club staff are lovely, they put on so much for the kids and have such good energy! They are brilliant

We went to Melia for second time and after 13 years the rooms were the same . The rooms need to upgrade, we had water in floor from AC for couple days . Also first floor smelled mold . Food needs more variety, the same food was for lunch and for the dinner and pretty much for all days that we stayed there the food was the same. Needs more transportations because we waiting for 30 minutes for train to come and pick us up. Positive thing was : Resort outside and pools are so beautiful and they had party every night at lobby and some nights at the beach. Anyway, beside those issues overall we had great time staying there.

Our experience fell well below the standard advertised for the price paid and represented very poor value for money. There were some positives: the children’s evening entertainment was very good, Merkado staff were generally friendly, and the golf cart drivers were helpful. Unfortunately these were outweighed by significant problems. The room was poorly prepared on arrival. The TV and phone did not work on day one; although the TV was replaced it malfunctioned for much of the stay. The shower head was detached, the toilet seat broken, and the room felt run down with poor finishing. We booked a king bed but received two doubles, and a pre-requested baby cot arrived late and was extremely old and unsuitable. Restaurant access was a constant frustration. We were repeatedly told our preferred restaurant was unavailable and directed to the buffet, yet availability suddenly appeared on our final night despite many empty tables, suggesting restricted capacity. Breakfast quality was very poor; at 6:40am we were refused service until 7:00am despite food already being laid out. Bazaar staff appeared disengaged and we witnessed tables cleaned using used tissues. A serious privacy breach occurred when staff attempted to enter our room seconds after knocking while we were asleep and not dressed, waking our baby. At 4:45pm, while facilities were still open, we were refused beach towels, preventing proper beach use. Checkout luggage assistance took over an hour Not value for money

The property grounds were stunning and the beach very nice. We joined the “level” which is imperative for better food and liked the buffet and a la carte there. The food was a 4/10 on resort and the service was extremely laid back. Rooms were spacious but tired and key cards were a nightmare. They never worked. We were close to lobby so beach a good 10 Mins walk. Got lots of steps and had fantastic weather. Bugs were bad

The first day there was hell. We went to see the room we booked and it was just disgusting. It had a bad smell, tiles were cracked, old furniture, there was cracks in between tiles in the bathroom and the caulking job was just horrible. The entrance coming into our room was not kept up, the ponds were green and murky, looked like a swamp. We came back to the front desk to change our room but they were refusing to accommodate us, we had to pay $700 for a nicer room in their other resort next to them. By the time we got in our new room it was already 8pm. I have two toddlers. They were frustrated, hungry, and sweaty all day. By the time they

The property is very big so they have golf cart shuttle service. Lots of palm trees and wild life on property (fishes, turtles, ducks). Rooms are clean but a bit old. Caulking around shower was old. Water leaked out while showering so there was a puddle in the bathroom. Staff on property do not speak English, other than staff in the lobby, so be prepared to learn a few Spanish words.

The most horrible experience I’ve had at a resort in Punta Cana. Please do not waste your money. 80% of the staff were rude, Shuttle drivers ignored us when we waved at them to stop for a ride, the restaurant food was not good except breakfast at the buffet and Tauro. The rooms weren’t properly stocked most days so I would have to call for them. You cannot call from your room to make reservations but had to go to the lobby, which was not only inconvenient, but difficult since most shuttle drivers ignored us. Please do yourself a favor and just go to Paradisus. They have never disappointed.

We had an excellent stay at the Meliá Hotel. Even though the hotel was quite full and there was a long line at check-in, the staff was incredibly kind, diligent, and professional. We hadn’t booked any special services like concierge or VIP access, but we were treated with great courtesy and attention. The front desk team was especially helpful—they even created a WhatsApp group to stay in touch with us in case we needed anything during our stay, which was a very thoughtful and practical gesture. The hotel itself is large, clean, and beautifully maintained. While it is an older property, it has charm, and everything looked well-kept. Since the resort is quite big, distances can be long, but they have little trains to help guests get around, and the staff driving them were also extremely friendly. We spent a lovely Sunday at the beach, where we rented a shaded beach bed, which provided great comfort and shelter from the sun. The beach waiter who served us was very polite and attentive throughout the day. Dinner was decent—not exceptional, but good—and we were pleasantly surprised to be offered a free late check-out of two extra hours, which we truly appreciated. Overall, we had a great experience, felt well taken care of at all times, and are grateful to the hotel for their hospitality. We would definitely return.

We went 2nd week of June. I highly recommend that. Resort was only at 50% occupancy, so it was a very chill experience. Once you get the lay of the land, the resort is easy to navigate. Friendly staff, beautiful grounds. Tons of wildlife. Clean. Great food. Merkado buffet was our go to for breakfast and the riviera for lunch. The fried calamari at the Italian restaurant, chefs kiss! Bring cash, so you can tip the staff. A little goes a long way. I had a massage and pedicure at the spa. They did a wonderful job. Activities and entertainment were fun. We enjoyed the gym facilities. I would definitely stay here again.

We recently had the pleasure of celebrating my parents' 50 year vow renewal at the Melia Caribe in Punta Cana, and I can't express how amazing the experience was! We brought 71 guests with us, and from start to finish, the entire staff made sure everything was flawless. A huge shoutout to Diego and Oscar, who went above and beyond to help us organize and execute the event of a lifetime. They were incredibly attentive, personable, and made sure all our needs were met with precision. Their dedication and hard work truly made the vow renewal ceremony feel extraordinary. The resort itself is beautiful, but what really stood out was the level of hospitality from every single staff member. Whether it was the servers, the event planners, or the entertainment crew, everyone was so accommodating, professional, and friendly. Carlos and Jasiel were great at getting us around.. The food was fantastic whether it was the buffet, the a la carte dinners, or the snacks, every meal was delicious. And the music and entertainment were just as impressive! We had an absolute blast with our guests, dancing, enjoying the atmosphere, and creating memories that will last forever. Choosing Melia Caribe for this special occasion was the best decision we made. It truly exceeded all expectations, and I’m beyond grateful for the team there who made this vow renewal so special. I would recommend Melia to anyone looking to celebrate a milestone event in paradise or just vacay it was an unforgettable.

The property itself was beautiful! All the staff were very friendly! Jaciel was amazing to help us get around by golf cart taxi although there are many others getting around! The ladies at the kids club were incredible with our 2 boys and always felt comfortable leaving them for a few hours at a time. We upgraded our stay to the Level package at check in and felt it was worth it! Our dedicated concierge wasn’t as great, but after we organized dinner reservations we didn’t utilize his services and that was ok. What made it worth it was the exclusive “level” pool, restaurant and beach area. Not as crowded and better atmosphere with better quality food and drinks. The rooms are a little dated but we didn’t mind! Overall we had a wonderful holiday, stayed for 7 nights and would stay there again.

The service was not great. We paid for the Level service and got nothing out of it. We were assigned a butler, who didn’t follow through with simple request. We asked for additional towels and blankets for the room which we requested through the butler. After three times of asking, I had to call the front desk to get these items. We also had toilet issues (not flushing) which had to be service multiple times to the point they changed out the whole toilet in the room. Our butler also failed to respond to messages to make reservations at the select restaurants so almost every meal was at the standard buffet. Highly disappointed with the service. Food was ok not great. I would not choose this property again.

Terrible service. Terrible staff. Got ZERO of the VIP perks from Expedia. They would not honor any of the credits at all. Check in time was delayed 2 hours past the guaranteed room ready. We had a dirty room when we finally got one. Staff was disgustingly rude about the credit use and basically said they don’t honor Expedia perks. Room had leftover food in it. Transport to excursions didn’t show up on time. It was an absolute nightmare. I have been to 3-4 different resorts in Punta Cana and this is by far the worst. Do yourself a favor and choose any other place.

I had a terrible experience at this hotel, especially considering the high price for just one night. When you’re paying that much to stay away from home, you expect something special — but it was far from that. Food options were extremely limited. As a VIP member on Expedia, you’re supposed to receive certain benefits, yet none were honored. The hotel advertises spa credits, but apparently you must stay a minimum of five nights to qualify — something that’s NOT stated anywhere beforehand. I was attending a wedding elsewhere and had to get ready in a common restroom because my room wasn’t ready on time. On top of that, the drinks at the bar were low quality, and the bartender genuinely thought grenadine was an alcoholic ingredient… seriously? Overall, I left feeling disappointed, frustrated, and honestly upset about wasting so much money for a single night that didn’t deliver on even the basics. I absolutely do not recommend this hotel.

Location
Beachfront setting with lush grounds is a highlight, though the ocean often has sargassum and isn’t the postcard‑blue some expect. The resort is very large, so getting between lobby, pools and beach can mean long walks or waits for shuttles.

There is never enough space to eat in the restaurants. Getting around the hotel is a problem with transportation on the golf carts, there are very few. Some of the employees, not all of them seem as if they do not want to help you or provide what you need. We paid a Premium Level package and it did not seem like a premium service. To start with, the drink we ordered was told they did not have it, we had to call the managers to help us since they did have it. I think that if I pay for a Level package it is to have first class service and not have any problems or ichus. I want to highlight an employee who did his best to ensure our stay and excellent treatment. Olimer Martinez was attentive and always with a good smile.

The property was very beautiful. Many lush, well kept gardens and water features, as well as great pool and beach access. The food was decent with many options to choose. The downside was our room was a bit dated (but clean.) Housekeeping did leave thinks out in the corridors which made it a bit cluttered. Our AC was not the coolest but the ceiling fan helped a lot when we were in the room. Overall, this property was a good value for the money.

Très bel hôtel, immense, avec un accès direct à une plage privée. L’établissement est vraiment magnifique et impressionnant, c’est d’ailleurs pour cette raison que je le recommande malgré certains points négatifs. Lors de notre séjour, la mer était agitée : l’eau n’était pas turquoise comme sur les réseaux sociaux, avec beaucoup d’algues et de sargasses. La chambre était propre, spacieuse et agréable, avec une literie très confortable. Concernant la restauration, il y a du choix mais la qualité reste moyenne, ce qui peut décevoir si l’on est exigeant sur ce point. Autre point négatif : la “guerre des transats”. Certains touristes donnent des pourboires au personnel pour faire libérer des transats. Nous nous sommes fait retirer un transat et une serviette pendant une baignade, et avons été témoins de ce genre de situation à plusieurs reprises. Les activités existent mais sont peu visibles : si l’on ne consulte pas régulièrement le planning, on peut facilement passer à côté. Attention en cas de problème de santé : la consultation du médecin de l’hôtel est facturée 215 €. Il est préférable de consulter à l’extérieur (~100 €). Une pharmacie se trouve juste à côté de l’hôtel ; sinon les médicaments sont livrés depuis loin avec une facture élevée (189€)). Le personnel est globalement très gentil. Le jour du départ, des douches sont mises à disposition, ce qui est appréciable. Enfin,l’excursion à l’île Saona est magnifique et vaut le détour, mais le trajet très long depuis cet hôtel

Grounds were beautiful and facilities were in good condition. Lots of space and options for guests. Service was not always friendly or prompt. Property was large and while walkable it was a long, hot walk. They have trains and carts to help with transportation but at least half the time they do not stop at the designated stops even if they have plenty of room.

Hotel es hermoso con un concepto abierto. Muchas actividades para niños y familia. El parque de agua es super para los niños. Las areas de la piscina y playa comodas son grandes y relajantes. La comida esta bien en unos restaurantes mejor que en otros. La atencion generalmente bien algunos empleados solo huscan el $ y vender upgrade cuando llegas para level y VIP y las reservaciones para los restaurantes de cena lo ponen bien dificil. Aun con level no podiamos resevar y nuestro mayordomo no ayudo. Jose de recepcion tiene grandes modales y nos ayudo en todo y gracias a el pudimos diafrutar la estadia. El primer dia fue mala experiencia por esas cosas pero ya despues resolvimos gracias a el. No me gusta que en la playa no se puede descansar porque te venden algo cada un segundo y son bien insistentes. Los precios de todas las actividades es bien caro y el spa tambien. Muy elevados. Room service super bueno y el hotel es bello. La playa tiene algas.

The property was gorgeous and the staff were always courteous and attentive. We were upgraded to The Level because of the main pool closure, and it was wonderful. It is an experience I would pay for should we go back. The food quality was lacking a bit, and while there was plenty of it, I only enjoyed one of our dinners out of the five days. The beaches are gorgeous and well-cared for and maintained, but don’t expect clear blue water. The resort areas in general are not located in the pristine waters, but we have traveled south to the national parks areas, which are stunning. Overall, we would definitely go back to Punta Cana and this resort.

Pros: The resort is stunning, the room and bed were comfortable. The pool is fantastic. Cons: The beach is not clear blue waters (if that’s what you’re looking for). Also, if you go in the summer, there is tons of seaweed. The minute you step into this hotel they start trying to upsell you everything. They will wake you up pool side to sell you things. When I tried to reserve dinner for the next 3 nights, they only gave me a restaurant option for one night unless I wanted to pay extra. They will tell you only one restaurant has open reservations that night and it’s one that will charge you extra. Entertainment is very limited and not announced when you check in.

We had a pleasant and relaxing vacation. The resort and its grounds are beautiful and very clean. Upon arrival, Meraly Reyes was very friendly and helped us with the check-in process. She also assisted us with dinner reservations at a couple of restaurants and with any questions we had during our stay. Eddy from Otium Tours also helped us with excursions. Overall, we had a great time, although I wish the buffet had more options and included more traditional Dominican food. The restaurants also need more time slots for reservations. Additionally, they could have more trains or golf carts available to transport us from the beach/pool to the lobby/restaurants and back.

Spa prices are not what the online page said. The coupons Expedia said we would be getting were not true, they were different in how you can use them and also not the amount of 30$. We didn't get the wine bottle also even when we asked for it in the lobby. The jacuzzi didn't worked at first, but the repaired it next day. Food in buffet is ok, food in restaurants is very good, good alcohol drinks only in lobby bar. Service good, pools good, beach good. Very clean hotel. Low score only because of the Spa annoyance.

Muy buena atención del personal, pero pésimo abastecimiento y poca variedad El personal del hotel fue muy amable y siempre dispuesto a ayudar, la atención fue lo mejor de la experiencia. Sin embargo, la parte negativa pesó demasiado: muchos restaurantes estaban cerrados y en los buffets casi no había variedad de comida. La explicación que nos dieron fue que estaban en temporada baja, pero en ningún momento Expedia informó que esto iba a afectar los servicios incluidos. Pagamos por una experiencia completa y no fue así. La relación calidad-precio no se justifica si varios restaurantes y opciones de comida no están disponibles. Ojalá fueran más transparentes en la descripción para que uno pueda decidir con toda la información antes de reservar. Great staff service, but very poor food options and availability The hotel staff was excellent — very kind and always willing to help. Unfortunately, the overall experience was disappointing. Many restaurants were closed and the buffet had very little variety. The explanation given was that it’s “low season,” but at no point did Expedia mention that this would affect the services offered.

Muy buena atención del personal, pero pésimo abastecimiento y poca variedad El personal del hotel fue muy amable y siempre dispuesto a ayudar, la atención fue lo mejor de la experiencia. Sin embargo, la parte negativa pesó demasiado: muchos restaurantes estaban cerrados y en los buffets casi no había variedad de comida. La explicación que nos dieron fue que estaban en temporada baja, pero en ningún momento Expedia informó que esto iba a afectar los servicios incluidos. Pagamos por una experiencia completa y no fue así. La relación calidad-precio no se justifica si varios restaurantes y opciones de comida no están disponibles. Ojalá fueran más transparentes en la descripción para que uno pueda decidir con toda la información antes de reservar. Great staff service, but very poor food options and availability The hotel staff was excellent — very kind and always willing to help. Unfortunately, the overall experience was disappointing. Many restaurants were closed and the buffet had very little variety. The explanation given was that it’s “low season,” but at no point did Expedia mention that this would affect the services offered. We paid for a full experience and did not receive it. The value for money is not justified when several dining options are unavailable.

We stayed at the Amelia for eight days in August. The beach was horrible. It was all dirty full of seaweed. It didn’t look like a Caribbean ocean should look like you cannot make reservations for any of their four restaurants prior to getting there the day of they’re already closed for reservations And when you tried the very next day, they were all booked, but the only two restaurants that were available where the hibachi or the steakhouse because you had to pay for them they were not included in the all-inclusive package, which they don’t tell you till you get there and it was $58 ahead. The buffets were nice. The food was not all that great. They didn’t have anything for kids to eat who would not have or carry in a Caribbean please plantains or french fries or chicken nuggets. The lobby was beautiful. The entertainment was great. The bathrooms were clean. The rooms were a bit outdated TV didn’t work for the first two days and the people we traveled with had to move twice definitely not a 4.7 star hotel like Expedia put out. I would not stay there or recommended if you are going on a family vacation and definitely have children and if you would like me the loves the ocean that was the ocean to go into

Entertainment was great. Food was okay. However,the featured/specialty restaurants should be more available with regards to reservations for guests. At many other all inclusive resorts you are able to dine in at least one specialty restaurant each night rather than just 1 night.

The resort is beautiful, and we had fun in the pools and waterpark but my family and I do not like that they do not have variety of food in their buffet, we eat better at our house.

I visited this location back in 2019 and back then i would have recommended this place to everyone. Now a lot was left to be desired. On our check in day, we had to take our own luggage back to the room even after had received our room key. It was not very walkable and very little cart services. The drinks were very artificially flavored and don't even get me started on the food, breakfast and lunch were ok, but dinner was horrible. It was impossible to get reservations to the specialty dinners and the rest of the options did not have good tasting food. The only good things were how friendly the staff was, they were amazing. The hotel was kept very clean at all times.

We stayed at the resort from September 3rd to the 4th and had an overall positive experience. As a pleasant surprise upon arrival, we received a complimentary room upgrade for being Expedia members, which was a fantastic way to start our trip. The food quality varied. We really enjoyed our dinners at the à la carte restaurants that required a reservation; the meals there were very good. The breakfast buffet was another highlight, offering a wide and delicious selection each morning. However, we found the lunch buffet to be quite disappointing and not up to the same standard. For the most part, the staff was very attentive and helpful throughout our stay. The only small issue we encountered was with the staff at the juice station during breakfast, who weren't particularly friendly and could have smiled more. A major plus was that the hotel allowed us to have a late check-out at no extra cost, which we really appreciated as it was another benefit of our Expedia booking. All in all, it was a good stay, and we were very pleased with the special treatment for booking through Expedia.
