28th August 2003.

Just arrived back in England, having had a great time overall at the Melia Caribe Tropicale. Must admit that finding your way around the somewhat identical layout of the two hotels in the vast, beautiful grounds is a little daunting at first, but this property is really something to behold with its lakes, fountains, manicured lawns etc..
We were there 14 days and encountered friendly, professional staff who were only too happy to help. The food was better than we had been told, (but the cocktails were rather disappointing!)
The reservation system has been scrapped for all but the Japanese restaurant (don't miss). The "Le Gourmet" restaurant was particularly excellent, whilst we found the French and Chinese restaurants a little disappointing. Now if you're like me, your going to be struggling to find a No Smoking section in most restaurants - and unlike most UK & USA guests, the Spaniards have smoke permanently emmitting from every orifice All Day (can't stand that!)
The pools are FABULOUS - the beach is great although suffers a bit from seaweed. If you got kids, you will want to book a room in blocks 1, 2, 9, 35 or 36. We were in 36 and this meant the pool and beach were just minutes from our room - also handy for the beach grills (breakfast). If you don't like a walk - dont go here, but otherwise don't miss this resort!
