Overall:

"Once we got to the right hotel the Melia Caribe Tropical (very nice and I recommend) they had not received anything about our reservation from Dreams." — source Travelocity

Clean:

"Rooms were clean and spacious." — source Venere

"Pools are clean and safe." — source Expedia

"Door to my room was very diffucult to close/open, seemed to be off the hinges a little, room had musty smell, leak in room for a few days but was immediatley repaired when we asked, soap in room never replaced, but always had fresh towels & clean room." — source Travelocity

"\nThe pool was clean and very well kept, especially at the swim up bar where there was always alot of activity." — source Travelocity
Service:

"The overall service is good." — source Expedia
Location:

"" The wedding area was decorated with fresh flowers and lots of palm leaves." — source Orbitz

Room:

"The rooms were smaller than normal resort rooms, but very clean. Our room did have a few tiny, tiny ants around the bathroom sink, but they did not cause a problem." — source Travelocity
