Melia Trinidad Peninsula

The worst part of the trip is the airport and the travel time to get to the resort. If you can get past the 2 hr ride you will love you stay at Melia! it was pleasant enough for families, my daughter and I had a beautiful view from the deluxe room. We could see the pools, shoreline and the mountains. As a vegan I found a good amount of things to eat. Wish they were a little more consistent with keeping meet off the rice. But very little complaints!

We fortunately upgraded to Levels status and enjoyed the special perks of private dining at Breezes restaurant. We were the only guests to get french fries. None to be found at the buffet. Not once’. Buffet was very basic. Very repetitive. Breezes was disappointing at breakfast so the buffet did provide a better selection. Our room was modern. But still needed finishing touches. There were no rubber water strips at the base of the shower doors. It caused water to run out onto the bathroom floor each time. But we did have good water pressure and hot water. Our shower actually flooded once and my husband was “surprised “ with maintenance coming into our room while he was still in the shower, but he doesn’t worry much about that! The a la carte vegetarian restaurant was the only one I went to and it wasn’t worth it at all. We were a group of 8 friends travelling so several couples wanted to try the a la carte restaurant. Myself and another couple stuck with dinner at Breezes! Lobster was in the menu 3 times that week. Even their pasta dishes were quite good. Steaks were delicious. Fries and burgers were our go to for lunch. Drinks were generous. Language was a bit of an issue as many staff do not speak English. We enjoyed bringing useful items such as Tylenol, Advil, women’s personal hygiene products, make up etc. Tipping is appreciated. Food and beverage management checked in with us frequently to see how things were going. The entertainment in the piazza was underwhelming but we didn’t stick around too long - it was mostly dancers and karaoke. Not our thing. The hotel was very clean. Common areas and bathrooms were cleaned frequently. Level upgrade well worth it.

I stayed for 7 days at Meliá Trinidad Península and had a truly wonderful experience! This resort is genuinely a 5-star destination incredibly comfortable, with new, modern, and beautifully maintained facilities. The rooms are spacious, cozy, and tastefully decorated. The food was amazing! Always fresh, delicious, and with a wide variety every day especially the seafood, fish, fruits, and desserts. You can tell everything is made with care. The beach is stunning, with breathtaking views! There are quite a few rocks at the entrance to the water, so I recommend bringing Aqua Shoes. That said, the beauty of the beach more than makes up for it. The beach bar is also a highlight: it offers fantastic drinks and fresh food made to order, with excellent service — the staff are friendly and go above and beyond. One of the unique perks is the catamaran ride included with the resort stay a fun and relaxing activity. The professional in charge is amazing: friendly, skilled, and makes the whole experience even more enjoyable. The entertainment team also deserves praise: fun, energetic, and creative! There are daily activities and beautifully choreographed dance shows at night. A special thanks to Carlos from the entertainment team — he’s charismatic, talented, and truly elevates the guest experience. Highly recommended. I would absolutely return!

My initial impression of the hotel was a "wow"! On check in, impressed by the professionalism of Lia Maria. Since we arrived @14:30, had been up for 12 hours, can only go to the 24 hr. snack bar for a quick bite. Ordered Cuban sandwich, waited for half an hour, was informed no bread, at least we got our order. Our room was spectacular, everything was clean and tidy, the best part was our balcony was steps to the pool. Made ala carte reservations, first we tried the Spanish Restaurant, we didn't enjoy the food, it was too salty. Second reservation was Asian( Japanese ), as expected cooking fried rice, my critic was we were seated far away from the other guests, we didn't see the cooking style of " Joann", but over all the food was good. The last restaurant we went to was the Mediterranean ( Vegetarian ), it's the best of all the ala carte. Enjoyed our time at the 24 hr lobby bar, hats off to Juan ( Jose ) Adrian, he's the best of all time. He definitely made our stay special, he's very attentive, kind and polite. The critic I have is the cook at the 24 hr bar, we ordered 2 burgers, waited for more than half an hour until my husband have to ask what happened to our order. This black lady who's the cook completely ignored my husband, yelled at him and said no bread. Why were we not informed about it in the first place, when in fact my husband saw some bread . We were so upset to be treated that way. We're not demanding guests, treat us with kindness and we know how to reciprocate. Another concern I have is other guests coming to our balcony and using our balcony instead of theirs, it's a matter of respect and privacy, uncertain if they're locals because they spoke in Spanish. I don't know whether there should be sign written in both English and Spanish reminding other guests not to use other guests balcony. Security wise, this resort is well secured, you won't find anyone selling or bugging you while you're in the beach. There's too many flies inside the buffet restaurant. There's no variety when it comes to food selection. Will I come back, maybe? Will I recommend this hotel? Yes I will.

We couldn't rent anything because of Canadian currency they accepted only visa or US dollars unfortunately there was alot of childrens in the pools and not much people from different countries mostly Cubans people's no offense but I have seen a lot of ignorant and careless from the original people of Cuba that they were in the hotel as tourist they brought too many kids in the hotel
