General Information
What to expect: North American, European, South American, and Dominican families and couples come to this all-suites resort. They pack swimwear for the turquoise sea and resort wear for starlit evenings strolling on paths bordered by gardens so lush they nearly conceal the resort's low-rise buildings. |
Amenity highlights: The Melia Caribe Tropical offers seven pools, including two large, freeform pools with swim-up bars; two activity pools; one children’s pool; two health spas with pools—one containing a spa treatments and the other a fitness center with cabins for massages (surcharges)—and both offering men's and women's saunas, steam rooms, and hot-water spa tub. The resort offers a disco and two theaters presenting nightly shows featuring the resort's talented dancers.
Insider tip: Not long after sunrise, savvy guests claim poolside, thatch-roof palapas shading platforms upon which rest thick, bed-like pads wide enough to accommodate a family. (Dozens of smaller palapas around the pools and on the beach are a consolation to latecomers.)
