I recently stayed at Melia Caribe Beach Resort for four nights, and while I appreciated the comfortable room and friendly staff, there were notable issues during my stay. I found it challenging to get towels for the pool and had to walk quite a bit to access amenities. However, the quality of food and the beautiful pools made up for some of the inconveniences. 🌴🍽️
