When you're ready to escape the stress of daily life, there's nothing a solid game of golf won't solve at Gran Melia Golf Resort Puerto Rico. The beachside resort's guests tee off at Trump International Golf Club, where two 18-hole, championship courses, designed by PGA-winner Tom Kite, are quite the challenge. Stunning views of the Atlantic Ocean and El Yunque Rainforest make this a golfer's paradise.

Beautiful Quiet Get-away
We stayed here for 3 nights in April. It is a beautiful resort and the rooms are amazing. The pool was warm, massive and had a cool swim-up bar. The food we had here was very good, although a bit over priced. The pluses of this facility are: great staff, clean, quiet, private, beautiful facilities. Minuses: they charge extra for everything, from parking to internet to their bali beds, there is an extra charge, everything closes early on the weekdays, and there is not a whole lot to do there except to eat, drink and swim in the pool. Also, the beach is very rocky.
This resort was gorgeous. The grounds were stunning. The wildlife and florals were breathtaking. The beach was small and rocky but you do have access to chairs if you choose beachside. I recommend upgrading to red service, for the private pool and butler service. The butler "Tony" that I had was soooo nice and a hard worker. That being said, I believe that some services are mismanaged such as staffing at the bars and restaurants, and there are very limited things to do at night!!!!!!!!!! It's difficult to get a cab and it's very expensive. Rent a car , we didn't and regretted it tremendously when we were only able to get one for one day!!! If you want to relax and only do a few things outside of the resort this is a great spot. Didn't bring mine but seemed really kid friendly.

A resort that could be great but...
The Gran Melia resort is a beautiful resort which is just short of being a world class resort.
The setting is beautiful, the rooms very comfortable and the service outside of the dining facilities is good.
The resort is missing several key things that would make it great.
1) the dining options are limited and there is only one option for lunch and breakfast.
2) The wait service in the dining facilities were very slow with the exception of the Asian Restaurant. We found ourselves in some cases waiting more than 10 minutes to get a waiter once we were seated to being ordering.
3) There is 'no' entertainment at night with the exception of a band that played one evening. This is certainly a problem for the hotel. They closed the casino 3 weeks before we arrived and did 'nothing' to replace that entertainment venue. We ended up going off property for that reason and probably spent close to $700 somewhere else as a result.
4) There is not wait service at the beach at all. Again, in many of the real 5 star resorts we have stayed at, this was a must.
So while the setting is beautiful, the resort generally well-kept, and the service outside the dining wait service good, there are some things missing that have to be addressed before I go back there.
We enjoyed the resort, but did not spend much time on the property. Room was clean and quiet. Concierge was helpful, but not really accurate (estimated ferry to Culebra at 30 minutes--it takes 90!).
Enjoyed the stay but disappointed in the beach. Bottom was not sandy and stayed shallow for about 150 yards.
Would stay again because of the good rate, safety, and convenience to eastern activities (islands, El Yunqe, etc).

The meal plans vary in price - for a breakfast only plan it costs $25 per person, per day. Breakfast and dinner plans cost $106.75 per person, per day, and a breakfast, lunch and dinner plan costs $112.50 per person, per day. In a garden view room the Red level rooms are an additional $50 per night, and the ocean view rooms are an additional $150 per night, however this is based on availability and subject to change. Taxes and fees as listed include sales tax, airport taxes, etc.
KateCC
It's an additional 100.00 a night!
Trust me...we saved by not doing it. Sign up for a "Flair Card" on the Sol Melia website. It saves you 20% on drinks, food, and dragonfly tours (10%)
BeachBumsAD
They don't offer a meal plan but they do offer "royal service" which gives free breakfast for two each morning (saves 16 a piece) and free booze at night from 6-9pm in RS lounge.
The RS package cost us 217 addl total for 5 nights.
jbellemore
There is no meal plan but you will get discounts. The red room royalty is 100-200 more each night depending on your view.

Gran Melia Golf Resort--Is Butler Service Free in the Red Level Suites?7 answers
When they say Butler Service is included in a Red Level Oceanview Jr Suite, does that mean I will not have to pay for meals throughout my stay? Otherwise, what does it mean to have Butler Service included?
1 year, 15 months ago
Deedee
Purchasing the Red Level upgrade does not mean that your meals will be included in your stay as the Gran Melia is not an all inclusive property. The Butler Service included in the upgrade to Red Level affords you the luxury of having a resort staff memeber available to help get you settled when you arrive, assist you with making dinner reservations, spa reservations, etc.
KateCC
The only meal that is included for the Red Level Suite is the breakfast buffet; but they charge $17.00 per person for it, but it is well worth it.
Shashita
I did not have the red level service, but what this may mean is you dont have to tip this butler, the food is overpriced and is no where, free, sometimes they give you a cocktail package at this level, my sister was at this level, and it was in a room, not the bar, and it was only beer and wine, house stuff, it was very cheesy, the place is beautiful but the food, other than the poolside bar all sucks, i mean, i could have done a better job myself, we paid 48dollars for a surf and turf meal, and it came with only one side, the salad was an extra 8 dollars, and the steak was surloin, and the 4 shrimp we got were not even considered medium sized and you could tell they were previously frozen!!!, tell me how can a place surrounded by ocean have the nerve to sell seafood at sixty dollars a platter and not even be fresh.
Michigangirl
When they say butler service they been to take you to and from your hotel from. The only food that included in red-level is breakfast which is made to order and really good. you also get drinks from 6-9 daily and a private pool with no kids, the red level room have flat screen tvs and the other do not.
TeeZay
You still have to pay, but you will have a dedicated person.
Cmitch
The red level is the better plan. Your breakfast is free and you have a brunch in the evening from 6-9 which includes finger food and drinks. (soda, wine, and beer). It's not free it is included in your bill. But if you can not get off the resort that a cheap way to eat.
Tlc2656
No, you will still have to pay for meals they are expensive too. The butler service really doesn't mean anything except when you check in they take your bags to your room for you.
Siwatu
Yes and the butlers were the best part of this resort!

Although the golfing is great here, the greens fees are not included in your room rate.

When I went there - it was all inclusive and all fees were included.

No not included.

They are not included. And, they're not open on Mondays. My husband priced it and I think it was about $90 a round per person.

No golf course on property, but Trump International has 2 right outside the gates.

I think the option is given but don't believe the food is worth the high price to pay for it.

No resort in Puerto Rico offers all inclusive I did lots of research before going there, positive thing about it was we got to try local restaurants and great pinchos by the bioluminescent bay!

Hotel Description
Gran Melia Golf Resort Puerto Rico: Championship 18-Hole Golf and Spa
When you're ready to escape the stress of daily life, there's nothing a solid game of golf won't solve at Gran Melia Golf Resort Puerto Rico. The beachside resort's guests tee off at Trump International Golf Club, where two 18-hole, championship courses, designed by PGA-winner Tom Kite, are quite the challenge. Stunning views of the Atlantic Ocean and El Yunque Rainforest make this a golfer's paradise.
Whether you're teeing off or chilling out, couples and singles feel at peace on the untouched shore of Coco Beach, and the 335-ft, lagoon-style pool, with in-water lounges, are great for unwinding with a rum punch from the swim-up bar. Hungry? The five dining options don't disappoint: see a show with supper with Nami's teppanyaki-style dinners. The linguini is divine at Tempo, where guests feast on Italian dishes with a modern flair. For an evening of conversation and cocktails, Avenue Bar in the main lobby is a happening spot for nightlife; or spend the night sipping a cocktail, shaken or stirred, at the Martini Bar.
Taking a breather doesn't mean you have to lie around all day, and there's plenty to do at Gran Melia Golf Resort Puerto Rico. Keep your body in beach shape at the fitness center, or rejuvenate your skin with an herbal steam and a facial at the spa. When your body and mind are toned, hop a cab and check out the sights and sounds in nearby historic San Juan, or explore nature at El Yunque Rainforest, where the waterfalls are breathtakingly beautiful.
After seeing the sights, head back to the villa-style Gran Melia Golf Resort Puerto Rico, which looks fantastic from a private outdoor terrace or landscaped courtyard in the Deluxe Junior Suite Garden View guestrooms. Guests looking for a vacation at the next level opt for the Red Level upgrade: the Red Level Junior Suite Ocean Front guestroom has a private Jacuzzi on the balcony for enjoying your spectacular view of the Atlantic.
