Melia Santo Domingo

Very good,perfect location,I would recomended,specially for business or couples.

The staff at hotel are only for making money by offering Taxi of 10Dollar to go to Zonal colonya which is 10minutes walk or 1.50Dollar taxi fare. Room is not even with a bottle of water. Next hotel intercontinental is very good compared to Melia. No site seeing tours , staff cannot guide you about the toursit locations . Very bad and waste of time going to Melia.

Definitely, it is one of the best hotel stay from travelling worldwide. Enjoyed the kindness of the hotel staff. Highly recommend the hotel to anyone travelling first time to Santo Domingo. Thanks, a gain.

great location at the water - close to good restaurants and casinos professional staff. we stay here often- after having tried a number of other- disappointing hotels.

After first staying here a few years ago and also trying other upscale hotels in the area I decided to come back to is our favorite. This hotel has an amazing staff, great food in their buffet style restaurant all day long, in addition to 24 hour room service. The only complaint I had was regarding our reservation that called for a high ocean view floor and we were originally given a smoking level room on floor number 5. I immediately requested and was changed to floor 7 which to me was still not real high considering the hotel has 12 stories I think total. Either was we love this hotel for all of the above plus the fact that you are centrally located to everything that the city has to offer, and the hotel has excellent security! For my next trip unless another Melia opens up in Santo Domingo I will be back!

Staff is friendly, respectable and helpful. Location is prime as it is close to the Zona Colonial and across street from the malecon. Pool was quiet and room was clean and functional.

I stayed at this hotel last year for the same amount I had payed this year. I was given a room with a view of the generators and the backside. When I requested a change, they had stated that because I had payed a "standard rate" a change was not possible. I had payed the same rate last year, and was given a superior room with ocean view, and higher up in the tower. I guess this year it was the luck of the draw.

Overall comfortable beds. Unable to get our money refunded. We booked thinking the beach wasn't that far away. It's pretty far from the beach so you need a car. About a 5 min drive from la zona colonial, which is a tourist area, walked around and did site seeing for a couple of hours. Couldn't do much since we didn't have a car. Beautiful ocean view. Includes ONE complimentary coffee. Internet cost $6 per day.

for the price it was very good stay. staff was very nice

This was the second time that I stay in this hotel. The hotel is great but this time I had a really bad experience with the front desk staff. I reserved a room for 4 people and I asked if I was paying for a room or per person, they told me I can bring 3 people along. When I check in I was alone and nobody asked me if somebody else was checking in. Two days after I arrived a friend came and was not able to saty with me. They told me I would have to pay $25.00 per night. Then another staff member told me $26.00 per night and the fallowing morning another staff member told me $50.00. I was very disapointed and nobody did anything to fix the problem. The day I check out I had a bill for something I didn't consume. They never told me what it was and at the end I had to pay for it because I was late and couldn't wait for them to explain. I am not staying in the hotel anymore.
