Comments from chdessureault on Melia Las Dunas :

Positive :

The beach is beautiful with its white sand and turquoise water is incredible. The a la carte restaurants are very good but in particular, do not miss the romantic ... really super nice and good. It is a great site with lots of people but there is room everywhere. By evening, there is animation and atmosphere which is pleasant. The rooms are clean and well appointed.

Negative :

For me who loves to shop, I would have appreciated more small shops.

Comments from C.c. on Melia Las Dunas :

C is a beautiful place, a little too big to my taste, I prefer the smaller hotels. It works a lot of room to the lobby and the beach and restaurant. Get up early to have room on the beach. C is a bit far from the airport because you have to make a 30 am bus to arrive al hotel. During our week, several people whose jokes turista J was a victim, I never catch n. A little worrisome for a 4 1/2 *.

Positive :

customer service with tip of course.

Negative :

the food at the buffet, not suffsament of access to a la carte restaurant

Comments from R.bilodeau on Melia Las Dunas :

Staff very friendly and attentive to our requests. Good variety of foods. Beach and sea are beautiful. The site is large, quiet and secure. The catch: there should be a toilet near the beach which would avoid to go to the restaurants near the beach. Wonderful place for both adults and children.

Positive :

See my comments at the beginning

Negative :

No toilets near the beach, you have to go to restaurants or the pool, and c is far from the beach. In the roads, it lacks signaling to indicate the location of restaurants and swimming pool (we walk unnecessarily).

Comments from remin_7 on Melia Las Dunas :

Positive :

Nice enough, it is a 4 star. You will always find something to eat at the buffet and sandwich at the beach are very good. The staff is friendly and a lot more familiar with the French which helps because I think people of Quebec account for more than 50% of the customers. The beauty of the water surprised me, my top is still in Cancun but it is approached not bad. Very wide beach at low tide.

Negative :

The water is not good at the buffet, served warm and even if it is bottled, personally I hated and I drink only water to Quebec. Lack of amazing palapa on the beach that's why I put 5. Add shade and I was up 9. If you have a day without wind, is from 9-9:30 AM good luck find shade as no mature trees and more. Also lack of chairs. There are about 60-80 palapas and chairs for about 300 900 + rooms. The pool is beautiful but the water is cold.

Comments from Véronic on Melia Las Dunas :

Positive :

Wow, Super Travel! I tried twice before the Dominican Republic to Cuba and all I keep the trip is Wow. Paradise. The beach is just amazing, as seen in magazines! I strongly advise to resort to another. I even go back perhaps next year. The a la carte restaurants are great! We were told that Cuba was average for the food but it was really good! The a la carte restaurant Steak House (pullet very good) and Italian restaurant great too, it was my two favorite. Many animation. Restaurant open 24 hours and the lobby bar is also open 24 hours, this is a must for my age! ;) It was super nice. The turquoise water is there and is clear clear clear! Are even fish that passes between the legs at the beach. You give them the bread and love. We took the tour catamaran. It was great for 72 pesos convertible. We give a kiss to the dolphins, we went snorkeling with the fishes tropicaus. The sun is capotant! I highly recommend this tour. I tried 5 stars republics in which the Melia Caribe and the Grand Bahia Principe and I preferred the Melia Las Dunas in Cuba! This is probably the range that has made all the difference. I paid $ 950 for travel Jan. 21. It can sometimes find $ 750 The price is unbelievable for the quality of hotel services and there!

Negative :

I'm very picky side food! I was not expecting much for buffets so I was not disappointed but I preferred the restaurants at 1000 times the card ;)

Comments from Micheline Et Luc on Melia Las Dunas :

Positive :

The first week, it was very hot and sunny 6 days out of seven. The beach was beautiful. Activity in super catamaran! Pretty good food although it is the first time I have traveler's ... The pools are very nice but only one adult are not many chairs ...

Negative :

Second week was frozen 6 days on 7. Lot of wind and temperature. about 12 ¤ with high wind. The beach has become full of shell pieces not pleasing to the feet. It was so wet that the water was rising in the lobby of the hotel. The staff operates only tip, even to fill the refrigerator in the room. Often we had to phone. for service and again it was in the late afternoon. The cleanliness of the rooms left much to be desired. They do not even pass the broom every day. The towels replaced almost come quench ... Same for the entrances of buildings. It's dirty. It is very secluded almost impossible to do activities because it takes 3 ½ hr bus morning and evening to go and return. The site is left "natural" is a kind but one we'd rather see beautiful palm trees and beautiful flowers. 2 girls in our group have screwed around by the DG of the disco.

Comments from annie_alicia on Melia Las Dunas :

Positive :

WOW! What a hotel! We loved ... I was accompanied by my 9 year old daughter and we loved the Melia Las Dunas. The beach is the best I've ever seen (better than Varadero and Republic). The sea is turquoise and there were always chairs available at any time since the hotel was not full. There is a gentleman at the beach you will find chairs if you want to be close to the action and the bar. The pool was very cold but still, my daughter was very happy and she would bathe in the hot tub was hot. The buffet yum! lunches are incredible, there is everything ... pancakes, omellettes, waffle house, growing fruit, even donuts, a lady that blends fruit you want .... The buffets at lunch and dinner very good, pizza, pasta, meat, grilled meat, soup, bread, salads of all kinds, a lady made your salad to your taste ... There are plenty of food is incredible, even a dairy on the site ... Servers very nice especially with tip, they recognize you and are very thin. The rooms are clean and the maid was making decorations on the bed with the blanket for my daughter. :) The site is very beautiful, flowers, palm trees are magnificent ... you really feel on holiday! I went with my daughter Catamaran, it was beautiful, we went to touch the dolphin they train for the opening of the basin in 2013 in Dolphin, it was magic, then we went to see an old boat failed 1975 which contains molasses and still feel the smell, go see the fish underwater and we ate lobster or chicken which was delicious on an island. Only $ 72 adult and $ 36 child. Cheap to touch the dolphin and make Catamaran all day! I also found the site based on there way home, the lobby is large and there are always singers, who are GO activities for children (clown, magician, mini-disco) and adults. Short! I would definitely go back for sure. The a la carte restaurant, yummy and my favorite is the Romantico and the steak and grill .... You can go there eyes closed and will keep you entertained ... good trip :)

Negative :

It was very cold 10 degrees and 16 degrees on Sunday Monday, it's not anyone's fault but it was not hot this week, it's the last time I'm on this side of Cuba in January because it There were lots of wind. Do you bring a scarf, warm clothes because you will freeze. At the Lobby bar, it's very long to use it, even with tip, be patient. The site is very great, I recommend it for elderly and disabled because it is very big, I had sore feet from the first day ... we like it or not ... I really liked but it is the only negative!
