"Excellent Choice for a stay in Santo Domingo."
I had to send several boxes of samples ahead of my visit, and the staff was extremely helpful with that. Rooms are elegant and spacious with excellent beds. Add to that a very reasonable price and there is really an ideal hotel for business and pleasure.Genuine Expedia guest review
"In front of the Ocean on the Malecon"
The Melia is very nice , close to other Hotels with Casinos. The noise from smokers outside the casinos was the only problem. The pool and Gym are small, but have very nice attendants. Minor thing: the only hotel in the world that has only one coffee package for your whole stay; with a coffee maker in the room that is silly cheapGenuine Hotels.com guest review
The hotel staff was not friendly at all. They were condescending and very rude. I will not stay here again. I was disappointed to be treated this way.Genuine Hotels.com guest review

"worst hotel"
- Unfriendly staff : They just try to upsell Ex : Ask for a place to eat : They recommend you to eat in the hotel because everything else is expensive outside. They got to be kidding. - PAID Internet in the room RARELY works. When asked they said i can use the business room. Come down to the lobby and ask for business room same person says sorry we […] are closed on SUNDAYs. I asked if they can print my boarding pass. Sorry we are closed on SUNDAYs:( - THIS ONE TOPS : My friend's aunt (lives 30 mins away) came to pick us up for the airport. Since it was raining she got a little wet (she street parked : bad idea:( ), we thought we can let her use our room to clean up. The front desk asks for $50 to let a 50+ year old woman since it is past 7 PM:) inspite of knowing the fact that we are checking out in next 1 hour:( I thought of asking for a SUGGESTION BOX : I am sure they would have charged $100 for that:):) Read moreGenuine Hotels.com guest review
"Clean and comfortable"
I was pleasantly surprised by the quality of the room and the prices of the food in the restaurant were really reasonable. I expected much higher prices, but the food selection and quality were very good. I did not like that you had to pay for wifi service, but it was reasonable at $9 a day. That's kinda the general rule in many hotels. I have seen […] prices as high as 19 a day. Rooms were very comfortable, clean, modern. Walls were a little thin. Could here the people next door talking at night and in the morning. Still don't understand why taxis want to charge $25-40 to take you to the airport from hotels. I just walked a block and got a taxi for $15. Read moreGenuine Hotels.com guest review
""Melia", excellent stay."
Stayed nearly 3 weeks, not a single complaint. Good restaurant, pool, tennis courts, exercise room, etc. My room was spacious and comfortable. Minibar in the room was great, complimentary newspaper at my door each morning, etc. . Looking forward to the next business trip here.Genuine Hotels.com guest review

Excelent hotel!Genuine Hotels.com guest review
"food okay but too expensive"
pleasant above all but there is only one thing to comment: if you decide to dine in the restaurant be prepaired to spend some money. An average mill in the buffet will cost you over 35 dollars and the food is good but not as good for the money.Genuine Expedia guest review

"Nice hotel in Santo Domingo"
Stayed two nights here at the end of a 9-day trip (most of the trip was in Las Terrenas). We wanted to do sightseeing in the Zona Colonial and be close to the airport for our departure. The Hotel Melia was pretty much exactly as pictured on the website. The rooms were clean and comfortable and the service was friendly and efficient. The pool was larger […] than I expected and very clean. The only complaint was that our room key (a magnetic card that is also needed to use the elevators) stopped working twice. Not a big deal (just went down to front desk and they reprogrammed it) but irritating. Otherwise everything was smooth, easily up to the standards I expect from any other major hotel chain in the US or Europe. The buffet breakfast was pretty good but definitely more of an American style of food. If you want something more Dominican then there are plenty of other places to go. The immediate vicinity is characterized by big hotels along George Washington avenue with the sea on one side and a nice tidy residential neighborhood behind the hotel. You can easily walk to the Zona Colonial (the old historic district) in 15-20 minutes but some areas along the way are a little sketchy - fine during the day but maybe worth a taxi at night. The unique Meson de la Cava (a restaurant literally built in a cave) is a short cab ride away and worth it for the food (quite good) and experience even though it's a little pricey.

"Melia Santo Domingo"
I have stayed here 4 times during Christmas. I feel the custumer service to be excellent and the location extremely convinient. I feel the hotel to be a good choice for the value and the price. It's one of the major hotels in the Malecon and is close to Colonial Zone two other major hotels and a great number of restaurants.Genuine Expedia guest review

"A LOT OF NEEDED IMPROVEMENT"
Despite of traditional Dominican courtesy and friendly behavior, the hotel itself lack of most of the Melia standards worldwide. (1) The hotel lobby has lack of lighting, the furniture provide a gloomy ambiance. (2) The breakfast is low quality in most of the items. (3) The room is large and spacious however, furnishing seems and smell old. (4) Bathroom […] has a quite poor aspect, taking a shower require to some ability to find the water-flow, perhaps is the lack of water, hence a handy-shower will help. And so forth.

Great service. Room cleans, polite and serviceable people. Restaurant needs improvement. Menu is not so good and breakfast is the only meal you can have.Genuine Hotels.com guest review
I reported a missing pant form my room and I did not find that they care about it, no appologies, no concern. Coffee for the coffeemaker in the room only the first time,if you wanted it after that you had to pay. Newspaper some mornings, very irregular the service. Did not keep quality. Recommend, but with concerns, the hotel plant is great, the service […] is suboptimal. Read moreGenuine Hotels.com guest review
"Huury Change your mind go elsewhere"
Worst stay in any hotel I have stayed in in the 39 countries I have visited. No respect, uninformed, no resolution of issues, poor attitude, etc..... Only the cleaning staff were worht the money they are being paid. Had to change rooms no help no compensation ntohing. Problems reported to the front desk never resolved. Poor attitude of front desk, […] disrespectful. Could not pay with discover card, did not know. Lost my card in ATM, (at casino) hotel was no help. More problems and issues than I can mention. I complained three times to management without resolution. I will never stay there again. Read moreGenuine Expedia guest review

"Great staff-too much attention"
The best thing about the Melia Hotel is its staff. Great service, great attention. Breakfast has to improve a little bit but its ok. They should include more fruits (not only pineapples and papayas). Room was very clean and when I requested to change the bed skirts they did it without hesitation. Room bar is too expensive for the items included ($5 […] dollars for a Snicker is too much!!). Location is good but never try to take Washington Ave on the mornings, its weird. If you need to leave the hotel, do it by taking the street on its backside. Read moreGenuine Hotels.com guest review
"Santo Domingo Melia Hotel Review"
The hotel is located across from the sea. You need to cross a main road to get to it. There is no beach, just rock, but we didn't expect there to be. We had a car and drove an hour to Juan Dolio beach, a great place to visit. Anyway, the hotel had a lot of security and we never felt threatened. All in all, the hotel was nice, but I'd rate it only 3 […] stars. The New Years Eve party was good and the food fantastic. The workout room was very nice, but the "trainer" staffing it was useless, just sat in his office. The pool was also nice, but the bartenders couldn't even make a Mojito, which is what we all wanted to drink at the pool everyday. One would think that this place would be proficient at Mojitos. They never had mint, but other places around town all had mint. There was always an excuse about why they didn't have mint. The parking was safe, we never had any issues. Be careful about driving in Santo Domingo! Red lights and stop signs don't mean anything. Read moreGenuine Expedia guest review
"Melia Santo Domingo Hotel & Casino"
The only downside is that when you look at the pics it appears as though you can go to the beach when in fact there is not a access to the beach. It is across from the beach but the bank is large rocks and the water reaches the rocks so laying out or doing anything 'on the beach' is simply not possible. Also the restaurant wasn't as nice as I expected […] when compared to the rest of the hotel. Otherwise things were as expected which was very nice. Read moreGenuine Hotels.com guest review

"Complete satisfaction"
We stayed on the "Level" which I would definitely recommend. The service was unmatched and the service was next to none. I would like you to send a note to the staff on behalf on myself about our appreciation for the service during our staff. This is the first visit to Santo Domingo and we felt at home. We will definitely go back on our next to DR.Genuine Expedia guest review
