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.

Our piece of sunshine
Enjoyed our stay at the Gran Melia Resort.The beach was rocky, although just as beautiful as any other. The service was impeccable, all staff members were prompt and polite at responding to requests. Downfalls included having to walk a lot to get to even our car or front lobby (guess that's why it's a 'resort' and not just a hotel!) and it is close to 45 minutes away from Old San Juan, a popular tourist attraction. Lots of cheap breakfast places nearby if you don't want to eat on the resort, though, and fairly close to El Yunque National Rainforest. Despite the pitfalls, I would recommend the place for anyone looking for a getaway in beautiful Puerto Rico!
My wife and I were excited to come to Puerto Rico for the first time. A friend of ours recommended checking out cheapcaribbean.com and we couldn't be happier with the choice. The price was excellent and our stay was an amazing experience. We loved the hotel itself and our room was awesome. Puerto Rico is definitely one of our favorite places to go now. Thanks for helping make it happen.
Enjoyed our trip, nice complex, excellent pool and swim up bar plus okay beach. Poor restaurant choices, only breakfast a good option. Rent a car and eat out!
This was an amazing package and the resort was incredible. You did not have to leave the resort. There service is amazing. There is plenty of entertainment inside the resort. Everyone is super friendly and they always want to make sure you have the best experience.

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.

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%)

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.

Gran Melia Golf Resort--Is Butler Service Free in the Red Level Suites?5 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?

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.

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.

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.

Hotel Description
Gran Melia Golf Resort Puerto Rico: Championship 18-Hole Golf, Casino 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, bet big on a game of roulette at the casino, 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.
