The Beach and Pools

As we planned to stay at the Melia Tropical Caribe resort for 2 weeks, we certainly felt that we would be able to find somewhere reasonable to eat given the vast choice.

Indeed I don`t recall seeing than about 5 different restaurants in any other Dominican resorts.

Even with a fairly `picky` 5 year old we believed that this would give us a good option of finding something that he liked, and so it proved.

BUFFET AND GRILL RESTAURANTS

For breakfast you could try an omlette [made whilst you wait, just choose what you want in it]. For lunch there is a good choice including pizzas,salads,pastas, meats seafood etc.

It is open for breakfast, lunch, and dinner.

The Turey Grill offers a beach side international buffet for breakfast, lunch, and afternoon snacks/sweets.

The Agora Grill offers an international buffet for breakfast, lunch, and afternoon snacks/sweets. In the evening, this beach buffet on the Tropical side has seafood/BBQ buffet.

At lunch time you will see a BBQ by the beach. You can get burgers, chicken, pork, french fries (they were hot and fresh) etc.

A LA CARTE RESTAURANTS

There are 10 a la carte air-conditioned restauarants at the Melia Caribe Tropical and they require a reservation.

You should book no later than 9:30 in the morning to get your first choice and book the following night at the same time.

Bear in mind that you will also need to be reasonably smartly dressed for these restaurants.

1. La Gondola: Italian cuisine with an hors d'oeuvre corner dinner service [Not too bad]
2. Le Gourmet: Modern international cuisine
3. Ma Maison: French style restaurant [good apart from the wine]
4. Hokkaido: Japanese specialties with Teppanyaki show tables [really enjoyed the spectacle of this one! After dinner they move you to another table for dessert]
5. La Pagoda: Thai fusion restaurant [didn`t get round to this one but heard favourable reports]
6. Capri: Fish and seafood from the Caribbean Sea [quite loud music played here!]
7. The American Grill: American cuisine [vety good if you like American]
8. El Guarapo: traditional colonial Dominican cuisine [Enjoyed this one]
9. La Hacienda: Traditional Mexican restaurant [Really good]
10. The Gabi Club: contemporary cuisine for Royal Service guests only [did not try]

The Gabi Restaurant is for those on Royal Service [you can pay for a meal if you want].

We heard very good reports about the Gabi Restaurant. You can get breakfast and lunch there with a choice of the buffet, or ordering from the menu.

KIDS

The kids enjoyed having their own menus every day at each of the restaurants. The a la carte dinner's presentation was amazing and delicious.

BARS

When I first went to the Melia Caribe Tropical resort it was divided into two, the Caribe and the Tropical. Indeed there are still two two lobby areas.

The local beer is Presidente which stands up well when compared to UK/European beers. For me the local wine is never up to much although I personally will find something else to drink.

If you enjoy coctails they will make you pretty much any cocktail that you ask for.

FUN PUB There is a Fun Pub which tended to get busy on Friday and Saturday nights. They played a variety of music from North America and also some Carribean. There are plush seats and beds to sit on.
