Melia Caribe Tropical

Beachfront setting
6 swimming pools
14 restaurants

A beachfront setting, 14 restaurants, and stylish Deluxe Junior Suites as standard – that’s a taste of what’s in store at the Melia Caribe Tropical.

The Melia Caribe Tropical is set on a white-sand beach, which is dotted with chic wicker daybeds and washed by the turquoise waters of the Caribbean Sea. Either side of the property, thick greenery stretches as far as the eye can see.

The hotel is home to six swimming pools. Two of them are set aside for children, while a couple are used for diving. The main one comes with a swim-up bar, so you can sip cocktails from the water. Tucked-away whirlpools and palm-clad islands give the set up an oasis-like feel.

Deluxe Junior Suites come as standard here. They’re really stylish, with wood-panelled headboards and unusual stone wall murals setting the scene. Spacious lounge areas and king-size beds are also part of the package.

Elsewhere, you’ve got a grand total of 14 restaurants to choose from, including three buffet eateries, and Asian, Italian and Mexican speciality joints. As for after dinner entertainment, take your pick from nine bars, a casino and a lively disco.

Your guide to Bavaro, Dominican Rep - Punta Cana

"Fringed by ivory sands and swaying palms, Bavaro showcases the best of the Dominican Republic's spectacular coastline."

Set on the eastern tip of the island, the journey there takes you through winding country roads bordered by sugarcane fields and mangrove thickets. With all the hotels set on the silvery sand, it’s Bavaro Beach that takes centre stage here. The moment you get an eyeful of that amazing 15-mile-long white sand beach and brilliant blue sea you’ll know you’ve found a little corner of holiday heaven. This is the place to come if you’re looking to cocoon yourself in pin-drop peace and quiet. It’s simple, it’s unspoilt and it’s so relaxing you’ll never want to leave. Days here revolve mostly around sunbathing on that spectacular beach, and cooling off with a range of watersports. Come sundown, it’s a relatively low key affair kept mainly to the hotels. But if you are venturing out and about, you can spot the handful of popular hangouts a mile off. In essence, though, Bavaro, is a place to sit back, feel the warmth of the Caribbean sun and enjoy a generous dose of the famous Dominican ‘R & R’ - rum and relaxation.
