The Melia was a great FAMILY vacation. I wouldn't recommend for a romatic couples getaway. Our family included 3 children (16,16, 9). They all had fun. Daughter thought better than her Disney Cruise. One son not as fun as Jamaica, other son, to hot. The kids club has activities throughout the day for children of all ages. These also include... more

Perhaps it would've been a better experience if we didn't go during the Easter vacation period, but even so, from this experience, I will never go to an all inclusive hotel. The hotel was fully booked, buffet lines crowded (food was mediocre at best) and the pool was ridiculous. This was our first "family" vacation: me, my husband, and our... more

My husnband and I chose to stay here because we wanted an all-inclusive and wanted to relax. The biggest issue was the kids. We don't have kids, but there were about times more kids than adults here. The first day, I sat at the pool with kids running everywhere screaming, playing with a ball that kept hitting me, and just... more

I have stayed twice at this resort, both trips won through a radio station. In a way, I'm glad I didn't pay to stay! The Melia is a moderate hotel, located in the marina district of PV. This is where the cruise ships dock, and there are tons of shops, bars, tour companies etc nearby. It's good that there are... more

We spent 7/22 to7/29/2008 at the Melia Puerto vallarta. The people were nice and the room clean. The food was fairly good. Taxi or bus was easy to come by. The down side--the air conditioning was sub-par and we requested fans so we could sleep. I was very disappointed with the beach/ocean water. After being in the carribean--what a disappointment.... more

We stayed at the Melia from June 28 to July 3rd and had a fantastic time. I booked the hotel individually on their own website and requested to be upgraded to the M rooms. Although we did not get the exact M room, we were in the same location. We had a very large room with king size bed directlty... more

I just came back from staying at the Melia Puerto Vallarta. This all-inclusive hotel is the worst I have ever stayed at in my life. My husband and I traveled with 2 other couples and stayed for 7 nights. This review is very long, but informative. Rooms - When we first arrived, we were put in a room in which... more

Went on vacation with my family July 15-21 and stayed at the Melia due to recommendation by travel agent. I agree with most of what the previous 2 reviews have said that were there around the same time. My kids are 11 and 13 and they enjoyed the vacation overall, but got bored with the food fast. It definitely starts... more

We stayed at the Melia for a full week starting July 16, 2008. The trip to the airport from Philadelphia was of course delayed as Philly always has issues....but when we got to the airport, customs was quick and easy. When you get your luggage-if you have booked with a travel agent your paperwork will tell you what company it... more
