“Great views of the square”

Melia Hotel

4 of 5 stars
Charlotte, NC
Jan 6, 2008

My family spent a couple of nights at the Melia in October, our second stay there, and it was lovely. If possible, ask for one of the rooms that overlooks the Plaza Las Delicias. We had 2 rooms with balconies overlooking the beautiful fountain, the cathedrals and the hillsides around town. The restaurant, Mark's, is also highly recommended with some of the best food on the island. The hotel is a little worn in places and the breakfast was not much to be desired, but otherwise a great place to stay.

“Rooms need a thorough cleaning”

Melia Hotel

2 of 5 stars
St. Croix
Jan 5, 2008

The hotel restaurant, Mark's, is expensive but fantastic. The hotel staff is very helpful and the location is ideal. We stayed in two different rooms over a long weekend, and my only complaint had to do with the cleanliness of the rooms - the carpets and bathroom floors were dirty, and I suspect that the air conditioner filters had not been cleaned in some time because our noses always ran when we were in the rooms. Whenever our two year old dropped a toy that rolled under the beds, it was pretty scary trying to retrieve it. We also didn't want to be anywhere near the toilets in bare feet. New carpeting and better vacuuming and bathroom mopping by housekeeping would have made for a completely different experience.

“Old World Charm”

Melia Hotel

4 of 5 stars
Lake Placid, Florida
Nov 6, 2007
1/1 found this review helpful

An old spanish hotel with a lot of charm. The rooms were small, but very comfortable, with hairdryers, ironing boards, shampoos, etc. The rooftop continental breakfast was quite nice, and overlooks the hillside of Ponce. The staff at this hotel was very impressive, especially the front desk. They were VERY helpful and up to date on the local information. The restaurant there is a bit pricey and I did not eat there. Downtown Ponce virtually shuts down at 8 pm during the week, and wound up eating at Churches Chicken. I was there for two nights, but one would have been more than enough.

“Old”

Melia Hotel

3 of 5 stars
Vancouver, Canada
Oct 25, 2007

Just like everyone else is saying-it's an old hotel. Tiny rooms, old windows, old decor, but clean. Really nice lobby, but I wasn't comfortable using the elevator-can barely fit two people. The new pool is a nice add on, but they should start updating their rooms. We only stayed there for one night-don't think we could do much longer is such a small room! Plus, the nightlife is next to none, police are everywhere and alot of boarded up buildings, makes me wonder how safe it is?
