Out of 4 hotels during our 1 week PR tour, I was only worried for this one if I made a right choice. It is dislocated out of the city limits and it had very few reviews, but whatever the case I thought it couldn't be that bad for 1 night. Now, after we stayed here I can strongly recommend it, but only if you have a car. I simply didn't want to pay 300+ $ per night for Hilton which was on the beach, but a useless one, what we witnessed when we visited the next door La Guancha boardwalk. Another hotel, Holiday Inn (around 180 $) we eliminated because of the pool renovation, so we made our booking here. It was the cheapest option with both, pool and breakfast included at a very good price of 120 $ a night. Hotel is located close to the airport, in nothing to see and do suburb, around 10-15 min drive from Ponce center. Huge and secured with a ramp parking lot - free. Kind and quick check in upon arriving. Hotel has only two floors, no elevator, so the only issue was taking the luggage up by stairs. Room was spacious - a standard two queens room I stayed many times, like in Hampton Inn or Holiday Inn. Fair size pool with sunbeds around. Breakfast was included - classic American one. Don't expect any luxury, but very good and functional basics at a very reasonable price.

Upon entering the hotel it was a lot... meaning there was a restaurant, hotel check-in, stores, and a ****** all within the first few steps of the door. When we checked into the hotel, we were told we had been upgraded to a suite - sounds great! But while the room was bigger than average, I wouldn't call it a suite - just a big room! There was a king bed, but not near the side table (which was mounted to the wall). There was a min fridge along with two love seats and a full-sized futon, but the couches were not arranged in a ”suite-like” fashion, just lined up along the wall. The bathroom was larger, but had no room for anything, if that makes sense. Meaning, towels were located on a table near the entrance to the room itself, not in the bathroom. Also, we noted that the room was cold and tried to adjust the thermostat - to find that it was locked. We asked at the front desk if they could unlock it and they said no, that it had to remain at that temperature with the fan on high otherwise the room would have too much condensation and would freeze up. So the best they could offer was an extra blanket. Pros: beautiful infinity pool and balcony outside our suite to relax on

It is a beautiful hotel with very friendly and helpful staff. The food was delicious and we received great service. We loved the pool area, it was beautiful and well maintained. The beach area, was not so nice. It was kind of rough and I thought dangerous. I was expecting something like the San Juan Hilton beach. Other than that, everything else in the hotel was excellent.

When we arrived to check in we were given a room that the bed was so worned out, we couldn't believe this room was assigned to us. My husband went to the lobby and told the receptionist and she placed us in another room that was much better, the bed was comfortable. We cant emphasize enough the need in these days that every rooms need a small refrigerator and a microwave. We appreciated the elegance of your Lobby and the very good service & good meal at the restaurant (B) at the Melia. This place, is a hotel not a motel, treat it like wise. Respectfully yours, Mr & Mrs C. Batista Please confirm you received this review.
