Never recommend the Melia Caribe Tripical to anyone! In all the years of our travels around the world, I have never seen worse service and service! I'll start everything in order. AZUR planes are generally not suitable for such long-haul flights. The distances between the seats are so small that the knees rest on the chair in front, and we are all not that big.

Never recommend the Melia Caribe Tripical to anyone! In all the years of our travels around the world, I have never seen worse service and service!
I'll start everything in order. AZUR planes are generally not suitable for such long-haul flights. The distances between the seats are so small that the knees rest on the chair in front, and we are all not that big. Sitting is uncomfortable, not like stretching your legs when flying at 13 o'clock. Already in the 90s, there were headphones on the plane and they showed at least some movie on the general screen, but there is nothing at all, people don’t know what to do. If you don’t have your own video, then they are languishing from a long flight.
There are no complaints about the meeting at the airport of arrival, everything is quite fast and efficient, although we probably still cannot do without queues. At the bus distribution desk, only one person costs and, of course, collects a queue, because the entire plane must be distributed, and this is about 300 people.
But this is all nonsense compared to what started at the hotel. Our registration took place in 3 stages. First, the manager from the reception began to look for our numbers, one found, and with the second, they started walking from one computer to another, calling somewhere, negotiating with another manager, and so on for about 30 minutes. Then we were told that the rooms would be ready by 15 o'clock, but at least they gave us bracelets and we were able to go out to eat. At 15:00, only 2 girls turned up at the front desk, one of whom registered a foreign group, and the second one found out by phone for about 20 minutes, and no one paid any attention to us at all. A line of people gathered at 12-15. Then it turned out that they all had a meeting from registration and they left after 30 minutes. After that, the entire first registration process began in a new way with going from one computer to another, telephone conversations and finding out what is not clear. As a result, after 40 minutes we received the key to one room, and for the second tale come after 17. Why didn’t we understand if the check-in was at 15, but we were already happy about this, because you yourself understand that after such a flight you really want to the ocean, or to the room! At 18 o'clock I again came to the reception, now I was more fortunate, and in 15 minutes I received my long-awaited key. Our friends, who arrived with a 7-year-old child on December 30, spent 2 hours at check-in.
But that was only the beginning. Then everything became even more beautiful! For New Year's Eve dinner we were seated at a Dominican restaurant. The table that was set for us is exactly under the air conditioner. At a temperature of 28 degrees outside, everyone came in open evening dresses, so it was simply impossible to sit at such a table. At our request to reduce the air conditioner, they kindly shook their heads, saying that of course, but no one did anything. When we asked to be moved to another table, they just frankly laughed in our faces that there were no more tables and nothing could be done. Only when my son had already demanded the administration and began to speak with them in raised tones, they suddenly found a table where there was no wind at all. But if you think that they did all this quickly, then you are deeply mistaken. Only after the third communication with the administration and the question of when they will set the table for us, they deigned to move. This whole process took about 30-40 minutes and all this time we were forced to sit under the air conditioner or stand on the street, since it was simply impossible to sit. I have never seen such frank neglect and rudeness in any hotel in the world, no matter how starred it is! And there is nothing to say about a 5-star hotel!
But this is not the end of all the charms of this hotel! At about 9 pm on January 1, something sparked or smoked in the Italian Restaurant, and the lights went out in the whole part of the Tropical restaurants. People from the dark halls began to be transferred to the restaurants of the Caribe section. At 11 pm we went to our room, which was located right in front of the entrance to the main restaurant, in complete darkness, only the path was lined with candles taken from tables from restaurants. At about 0-15 - 0-30 we woke up from a strong bang and they began to knock on our door. Opening the door, we saw security or security personnel asking us to urgently leave the room and go outside. And then an unprecedented picture unfolds in front of us: All three restaurants are burning with such fire that there is simply no point in extinguishing something there. Something explodes there, the roof collapses, flames are such that any fire show can envy! No one extinguishes this with anything, although there are a lot of ponds and fountains nearby. The fire truck arrived about 20 minutes after we were taken outside. For about 40 minutes, all the evacuees stood on the street, who ran out in what and who guessed what to take with them. Someone's relatives were sitting in the casino at that time, so there was no information at all. We started calling to understand how the situation was in the second half. People made their way to their relatives through the bushes. All in all, it was a complete nightmare. Then everyone was taken to the Level unit, but it was also impossible to accommodate everyone there. Who sat on the street, who in the gazebos. Only at 2 o'clock we were allowed to return to the room. All restaurant buildings were smoldering, and there is simply nothing to restore there.
The hotel administration did not even consider it necessary to apologize to the people who spent 2 hours on the street, experienced a nervous shock. Whoever contacted them, they simply brushed it aside and apparently believed that it was normal, a fire in a 5 star hotel, when the prerequisites for it appeared at 21:00, and no one began to check and look for the reasons. And they just let half the restaurant burn down. The smoke detectors in the rooms did not work that evening.
Then just a wild horror with food began. The tables were not cleared, there were queues everywhere. Served in restaurants for 1.5 hours. Ideally, only restaurants worked for an additional fee.
Room cleaning left a lot to be desired. It was possible to find sand, and dirty glasses and threads on the floor after cleaning the rooms. Linen was changed only if a special piece of paper was placed on the bed. But alas, she was not in all the rooms, and therefore the linen there was no one for me until you catch the maid by the hand. Slippers and bathrobes had to be requested from the service, although they are declared and should be in the room upon arrival. Not a single bar had light snacks, not only at night, but also during the daytime between breakfast, lunch and dinner. Although all this was also stated.
The beach is not cleaned at all. The pool is cleaned when people are already swimming there. The area around the pool is washed when people are already sunbathing on the sunbeds. Buckets pour water and drive it to the edge of the territory. It's wet and slippery all around.
So, see if such a hotel can be a 5-star hotel and whether it is possible to recommend it to your customers without ruining the reputation of your company. I would not, and I will warn all my friends and relatives against visiting this hotel

Melia Caribe Tropical is a charming exotic hotel. We rested in it in January, the vacation left a lot of pleasant impressions. The complex consists of two hotels, the one that is ours is closer to the sea. There are two-story bungalows right next to the sea, and we settled there, having previously sent a request to the hotel.

Melia Caribe Tropical is a charming exotic hotel. We rested in it in January, the vacation left a lot of pleasant impressions. The complex consists of two hotels, the one that is ours is closer to the sea. There are two-story bungalows right next to the sea, and we settled there, having previously sent a request to the hotel. We flew through Paris, there was a slight delay in the flight and arrived at the hotel later than the scheduled time. We ordered a transfer from 2 bananas, contacted them in advance, booked excursions and arranged a meeting. Despite the delay, we were met immediately, we didn’t have to wait, and in 20 minutes we got to the hotel, listening to a short tour of the country along the way. What I want to say about the hotel, despite the fact that the last time repairs were made in 2008, according to booking, everything is in excellent condition. The rooms are comfortable, atmospheric, the territory resembles a picturesque Garden of Eden, flamingos walk, a lot of living creatures, exotic trees, lobby areas are conveniently equipped, many bars and a snack bar near the beach, this is very convenient, because the buildings on the coastline are away from the main restaurant, go there about 12 minutes on foot, you can get there by local transfers that run around the hotel, but often just laziness. Lots, lots of sun loungers for your comfort. Algae are found in the sea, but they are very quickly removed, the sand is marble, clean. You can sign up for a la carte restaurants directly by phone, there is no need to go to the reception. Cleaning is usually daily, while guests are on the beach or excursions. From the restaurants I liked the menu and the main restaurants, the abundance of various seafood, very tasty soup in the American turtle restaurant, and steaks in the Mexican one. The staff is above all praise, pre-convincing and tactful. Were very impressed!

We went with friends for a week and a half, were in a building closed from children, rested from our children. The territory of the hotel is very beautiful, flamingos walk, they clean every day. The beach is clean, beautiful palm trees, white sand. You can sunbathe all day on the beach, there is animation on the beach, although algae appear in the evening.

Great choice of restaurants, we liked the Mediterranean (CAPRI) and French (MA MAISON). We went on excursions - there are very beautiful places in the Dominican Republic, I advise you to go to Samana and ride horses. We were only able to go on one excursion because of the hurricane, we are very sorry. When Hurricane Irma started, we sat in the room, drank cocktails and ate what was brought to us instead of dinner. As a result, we had a feast in our room for two people until the morning. In the morning almost everything was gone, but we still tried not to leave the room. The hotel promptly resolved all issues, and the consequences of the hurricane were no longer visible the next day!

Been a big company for a week. What I liked was a large green area, a lot of fauna, beautiful and spacious rooms. Very good food, especially in the a la carte. Although the lobster and Japanese paid about what the tour operator modestly kept silent about. Now for the disadvantages. I think the management of the hotel has changed.

Been a big company for a week. What I liked was a large green area, a lot of fauna, beautiful and spacious rooms.
Very good food, especially in the a la carte. Although the lobster and Japanese paid about what the tour operator modestly kept silent about. Now for the disadvantages. I think the management of the hotel has changed. They're pretty damn slow. Dishes were not cleaned for 2 hours. The locals say that this has never happened before. Second internet. Damn, I pay 5k bucks for all inclusive and I don’t see the point of cutting another 50 from me for a weak Internet. And if you took 50 tanks, then at least give speed, otherwise it shows 1 strip out of 5 and you can forget about Skype. There is a free one in the lobby, but the same problem can be discussed on Skype every other time.
The second disadvantage of the tour operator. Rather, even the first most important of the 5 excursions liked only 1. Excursions to the tobacco factory, to Santo Domingo and shopping do not take in any case. You are stupidly taken to an expensive gift shop. in the supermarket near the hotel everything is 2 times cheaper.
Excursion to Samona. Somewhere 50 to 50. Firstly, there are 2 types of transport by plane for an hour at 2 ends and by bus for 5. Accordingly, do not take the bus. The second we were taken to watch the whales. Those who expected to see something awesome there were severely disappointed, they saw a fin from 50 meters and that's it. Then we were taken to a very beautiful island, but we were there for 15 minutes instead of an hour, because we were looking for whales for a long time, the second part was more like riding horses to the waterfall and swimming in it. Everything is fine there, but it's up to you to decide whether it's worth 270 bucks. A tour operator outside the hotel offered this for 220. The only thing that we liked was a trip to the island, we went with a company, it was very fun and beautiful.
The return transfer was terrible, the hotel’s fault is not here, just because of the bad weather in Kiev, we were detained for 2 days in Paris in Charles de Gaulle, not letting us out of the airport. . But overall, I enjoyed my vacation.

I really liked the hotel. Vacationing with newlywed friends. I have never met such a green park-hotel, although I have traveled a lot. Flamingos, herons, ducks, turtles. . . Paradise. Good food in different restaurants. A few slow waiters can be stirred up for as little as $1 per day. After that, they recognize you from afar, remember what you ate and drank : ) Quickly bring all the necessary drinks.

We were settled in Melia Caribe, closer to the reception. We lived in room 4302 on the 1st floor. The number is normal. It has a balcony overlooking a quiet park. No insects (except mosquitoes) bothered us. 2 times peacocks came to our balcony with the whole family. We ate a cracker (from Russia) right from the hands . To the sea 4 minutes walk or 1-2 minutes by train.
Ivan, the representative of the hotel from the Southern Cross, quickly solved all our problems. For which we express our gratitude to him.
Be sure to sign up in the evenings in all the restaurants of the hotel.
I highly recommend visiting the airborne safari tour. A colorful and rich Dominican excursion to the hinterland. They will show you cockfights, tell you about life on plantations, show you how coffee grows and treat you with fresh grinding. Swim on a wild beach and ride horses. It's unforgettable!

Recently returned from this hotel. We rested there with a whole group of friends, specially flew to celebrate the anniversary of one beautiful woman. The hotel is very large, that you can’t immediately figure out where which reception is, there are two hotels together. Especially at the beginning, when it's 10 am in Moscow, it's 3 am in the Dominican Republic, you can't sleep anymore and wander around the hotel in the dark, only the paths are consecrated.

Recently returned from this hotel. We rested there with a whole group of friends, specially flew to celebrate the anniversary of one beautiful woman. The hotel is very large, that you can’t immediately figure out where which reception is, there are two hotels together. Especially at the beginning, when it's 10 am in Moscow, it's 3 am in the Dominican Republic, you can't sleep anymore and wander around the hotel in the dark, only the paths are consecrated. The room got a good one (in vain I only took a travel iron, there is an iron and a hair dryer, everything is there) - although the standard is closer to the sea and next to the pool, so we had breakfast and lunch at the restaurant by the pool. But you need to take places by the pool in the morning - on the sea-ocean there is a constant wind and wave, so we only went there to swim. In addition, there are a lot of algae, and although their cleaners clean them from the beach in the morning, they remain on the sea. The pools are large and beautiful, a pool bar, you can order drinks directly from the water, there are all women constantly ordering champagne, men rum-cola or tequila san rice, there are a lot of cocktails. Although it is considered that everything is inclusive, but you have to pay 1-2 dollars everywhere, so bring small money. VERY MANY AMERICANS with children - clog their heads, especially in the evening at dinner. Although the restaurants are full of dinner in the main restaurant. Everyone gets to the restaurants and moves around the hotel mostly by train, but feel free to stop the golf carts, they will always give you a ride. Were in Mexican is also normal, but Japanese is paid. Food, as elsewhere, is full, a lot of seafood, meat, etc. So you won’t stay hungry. Now about animation. During the day it is not very good, there are a lot of people, a lot of people who want to play volleyball on the beach, and sometimes you can’t get to the tennis courts either. There is a gym that opens at 7 o'clock, which is when breakfast starts. In the evening, all public events are in Spanish and English. so the language barrier makes itself felt. But there is a chic casino open until three in the morning - it saved. We ordered a separate sea fishing for ourselves - crazy waves in the ocean, but caught 11 dorado. The country is expensive, there is nothing special to buy there (there are more goods in Moscow), that's just souvenirs, rum, cigars. Across the street from the hotel is a large shopping center, but everything is twice as expensive as in hotel stores or beach shops. Yes, and the remaining money can be spent in duty-free at the airport, if they take $ 10 at the entrance, then the exit fee ($ 20) is canceled, but at the airport they find fault with the weight of luggage - 20 kg no more, so calculate the weight and take it better the main cargo in hand luggage Guys have a good rest everywhere. Have a nice holiday!

Hello! We rested in November for 10 days. I liked everything in general! Of course, if you find fault, you can criticize for a long and tedious time! They are good people, both to them and to them, it’s a shame for the Russians, who in 5 years from the Dominican Republic will make the same Turkey, since they behave like gods that everyone owes and owes them everything, they try to knock down coconuts with sticks, they climb to swim at night in swimming pool and more! The hotel is very large, green, pink flamingos, peacocks and all sorts of ducks and birds, we were not everywhere in 10 days! the food is also good, varied enough! you can safely choose this hotel! though when we settled in we gave 10 dollars so that they would give us a villa closer to the beach, but it's far from the restaurant, there were no problems as a train runs around the territory!.

Hello everyone, my husband and I went to the Dominican Republic for the first time, in general we were going to GOA, but we were dissuaded and advised to go here. Before that, we were in Turkey and Egypt. I really liked everything in the hotel - it’s very green, there is where to take a walk, a lot of children come, but they don’t interfere at all, because the hotel is huge, there is a children’s pool, although there are no slides in it, there is a kids club, I even saw how they “handed over” a child who didn’t even walk yet, but they were definitely not ours : -), we also have a daughter - 8 years old (we didn’t take her with us), but from the point of view of parents, I appreciated everything - there is something to feed them: cereals, soups, meat, sea of fruits, fresh juices in the morning, the animation certainly suffers, not like in Turkey.

In the main restaurant, everything is very tasty, everything is in sufficient quantity at any time. We also went to different restaurants: the French one is the best, in the American one there are very large pieces of meat : -), in Thai everything is very spicy, but everything in the Mediterranean is very tasty.
There are some shows in the evening, but we didn’t go to them, because we went to bed early, apparently due to the big time difference. Bright trains drive around the hotel - children really like them. There are golf courses. Two pools and two restaurants on the beach where you can eat fully. We are not fans of pools, so almost all the time we were on the beach, and there is such beauty........ If you stand facing the ocean, then five minutes to the right there is a market where you can buy souvenirs, cigars and rum, everything the same thing is sold on excursions, only more expensive, the main thing is to bargain!!
Regarding excursions - we went to the islands, or rather flew by plane for 25 minutes, and then by boat, and also on horseback, in general, a rich excursion, a lot of impressions, but with a child I would not go there, by the way this is the most expensive excursion 270 dollars. people but we don't regret giving it away.
Additional information for girls: there is an iron and ironing board in the room, a hair dryer, in principle, is normal, you can not take your own.
Most of all I didn’t like the room, but we only slept in it, so we didn’t get very upset because of it. I don’t remember exactly the safe in the room, or two or two from the floor. dollars per day. The furniture is OLD : -((, the mini bar was replenished daily (free of charge), there is a tea set.
On the territory of the hotel there is a SPA center, a sauna, two receptions, gorgeous peacocks walk around the territory, unusual flamingos in the lake, turtles - the children really like it all!!
For me it was a SUPER REST, and the hotel is SUPER, and most importantly, it is the extraordinary nature of the DOMINICAN, white as flour sand and palm trees - I recommend everyone to go, you will not regret it.
P. S. we walked along the coastlines and really liked the hotel, I think it was called Barcelo Bavaro Palace de Lux, there is a super children's water park and the hotel itself is in high-tech style, and ours is in the classics, but very green, so choose according to your taste, have a pleasant stay .
In the main restaurant, everything is very tasty, everything is in sufficient quantity at any time. We also went to different restaurants: the French one is the best, in the American one there are very large pieces of meat : -), in Thai everything is very spicy, but everything in the Mediterranean is very tasty.
There are some shows in the evening, but we didn’t go to them, because we went to bed early, apparently due to the big time difference.

This hotel is huge in area, but completely stupid! I didn’t like the room service at all, the bar is not filled, the towels are changed, but not always hung in a complete set. The furniture in the rooms is very old, the room smells of damp, when I arrived, it seemed to me that even the bedding on the bed was damp.

This hotel is huge in area, but completely stupid! I didn’t like the room service at all, the bar is not filled, the towels are changed, but not always hung in a complete set. The furniture in the rooms is very old, the room smells of damp, when I arrived, it seemed to me that even the bedding on the bed was damp. In the corridor, water drips from the ceiling from the air conditioner, sounds from neighboring rooms are heard such that it seems as if they are talking in my room. In general, when I entered the room on the first day, I burst into bitter tears from disappointment. It rains at night, but it didn’t bother me much, during the day the weather is still good. A few more of the negative points: I don’t remember exactly when, I think from 09/04/10 to 09/07/10.400 gay and lizbian people drove into the hotel, they hugged and kissed right on the beach, the parents did not know where to put their children. They did not give lobsters, in any case, in the neighboring hotels they were given for dinner. MONEY TEAR for everything that is possible and in vast quantities (this applies to excursions) !! ! I don’t know about anyone, but I think that music should be played not only near the pool, but also on the beach, and so that it can be heard well, because. it creates a certain atmosphere for relaxation. In addition, I drew attention to the fact that they do not remove algae from the beach well.
On the positive side: I like that a large number of birds live on the territory and you can feed them from your hand, I like that there is a train, the nature is beautiful. Dominicans learn Russian.
