good and bad
The resort is lovely to look at. Grounds are well maintained. Pool is great Concierges were polite and helpful. That was the good. The bad: Service is inconsistent. Guests are encouraged to stay on the resort unless you book a trip through Dragonfly which is a tour service they have a connection with. Prices for the tours are high. We quickly discovered that there are other ways to get around than the very expensive taxis that are allowed to come onto the property(one company) Uber is available at much more reasonable prices and will pick you up at the gate. For example: a trip to Old San Juan on their taxi is $80.00 round trip. Uber is $52.00. The guards at the gate will allow Uber to bring you in and drop you at the lobby. However, they won't allow Uber to pick you up at the lobby entrance. You meet your driver at the gate. The restaurants on the property are VERY expensive and serve mediocre food. Also, the resort only opens certain restaurants on certain nights so you are forced to eat at what is open. We were much more interested in eating like the locals and discovered Richies who will send a van to pick you up for dinner. Great food, beautiful view from the rainforest. Only about 4-5 miles from the resort. However one night we asked for a golf cart to take us to the gate which is really close and Richie's van picked us up, we had dinner, the van brought us back and was allowed to enter the property and drop us off at the front lobby. Two nights later, they would not let the van in to drop us off so we requested a cart and got one. Inconsistent. My advice would be stay on top of your money and charges. Definitely stay on the red level if for no other reason check in and check out. Lines are long if you are not red level. Happy hour for the red level is Sangria, beer and the same snacks every night. All in all a restful stay. Just be careful.
Waiters take it upon themselves to not give you a receipt and tip themselves on your card. Concierge thinks it it no big deal about your money being stolen by a waiter. No one can ever find a manager. Everyone is oblivious. The pool is mediocre. The beach is beyond subpar. Don't waste your money at this travesty unless you enjoy arguing with the staff and being ignored. Housekeeping hates being asked for washcloths & water doesn't get hot or cold. You can't pay in cash only can charge it to the room over priced and water down drinks. Food is government cheese's 2nd cousin. Jail food tastes better
The resort was located in a very beautiful area near Rio Grande and close to the entrance to El Yunque National Forest. You were surrounded by beach and lush green mountains. It was incredible.
Room was comfortable.
There did not seem to be many people staying at the resort so the beach was mostly private on most every day! I saw people but never had to fight for a beach chair or secluded spot!
I would go back to this resort if given the chance!

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.

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?
6 years, 77 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!

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.
SusanSny
No golf course on property, but Trump International has 2 right outside the gates.
DGallaher
No. Looked like a nice course. Donal Trump course where the play the Puetro Rico Open.
Hawgman
No. The green fees are not included. My husband just golfed there and if you want to play the Championship course at the Donald Trump International, which is the course that the Puerto Rico open will be held, the green fee I believe was $165 and then they charge $55 for rental clubs and $35 for a rider. If you want to play a second round they only charge you $30 for a replay that day. It is a beautiful course. Cart path only for the Championship. The International course is a little less expensive. In fact, you can check some of the golf aps for lower green fees. I believe we seen one for $90 at 11:50 during the day for the International.

bIBIANA
No meal plans. Breakfast is buffet and costs $28 +/-. Lunch didnt even ask but from the pool I paid $50 for nachos, 6 wings 2 beers and a coke. Dinner is way up there too, the average plate was $32 p/p not including drinks. My recommendation to you is, get a rental ($70 for 4 days, gas $3.20/gallon Dollar Rent a Car). and drive to the actual town and eat there. Average prices for breakfast was $6 p/p (eggs, bacon, toasts, cafe con leche), lunch $10-$12 pork and steak, dinner $14-$22 lobster, steak and more seafood that you can imagine. Beers are $3 to $5 domestic, In the hotel are $6 plus tax and tip 10oz can.....................
Hope i Helped.

There is no meal plan, and all Restorants on the premises will charge you $50+ per dinner per person and food not good. A lot of good places in near by city for $20-30 per person per dinner
strutmax
Meal plan ... They have buffet breakfast which is 26$ or you can do the red package and it's free. They also have continental breakfast but I don't know the pricing on that. They also have a steak house which is okay and a Asian cuisine which Also has habatchi great restaurant and they have a dinner buffet but I didn't like it at all.

The majority of the resorts in Puerto Rico charge approximately $25-$35 per day for parking.
MariaCC
yes, we had a compact rental car there and was charge $16+ a day
qshmilu
Yes it is $16 a day...I recommend b/c if you decided to leave the resort the cab will be charging you about $50 one way.
Ummmm
yes 15 -20 dollars a day. unless you rent a car from the hotel...which is a challenge.
MBJordan
If you do not rent from the on site Avis dealer, you will be charged about $17 a day parking. Also be sure and park in the Avis lot and tell the attendents at the hotel that you are an Avis rental otherwise you will be charged. Our stay was not pleasant. I hope yours is.
Macoupin
It appeared that there was no extra charge for parking.
Hawgman
It is $25/day, but we know a couple who rented a car and had to argue with the front desk to get parking included. But be warned they did not book a package, so they had more flexibility.
Ladybug604
NO CHARGE FOR PARKING, I DON'T THINK SO
bIBIANA
Yes $15/day.
Donnice
yes, parking is $16 per day. But it's worth it. The resort is isolated and you will want a car to explore the island.
TexasGal
Yes. The fee is like $15-20 a day. Call the hotel directly. We rented a car and it was cheaper than the transfer and paying for excursions.

It seems to be a couples/ family resort. IF you are alone...because you want to be....it will be just fine. But if you want to meet people or another single... this is not the place for you
MBJordan
Of course you are able to book this package as a single traveler! The prices reflected on the website are based on double occupancy at the resort. To determine the price of the trip with only one passenger, simply proceed through the booking, selecting 1 for the number of travelers and the booking will price accordingly.

The Gran Melia Puerto Rico does not offer an all inclusive package for their reservations, however taxes and nightly fees are included in the package pricing. Any additions of meals, beverages, services or charges will be paid directly to the hotel at check out.
MellissaCC
yes. you will be required to place a deposit on your room for any possible damage done during your stay ours was 500.

No. The only additional fee I paid was for parking. If you bring a car, parking is $16 per day. The resort is very isolated, so I do recommend getting a rental car.

There is a lot of fee`s that you are not informed. Make sure that you have $100 a day to be hold on your CC.

Yep!!! We were very surprised at check in to have to pay $100 per night deposit. And $16 per day parking. They worked the deposit down to half in cash and gave it back at check out in cash.

When you check in, you will be charged $100 per night which no place in booking states so! I will contact online agency to discuss this issue. My cc was charged not just keeping a cc on file!

bIBIANA
Be prepared to wait awhile if you arrive before check-in time of 3pm...most of the rooms will not be ready...use this time to check out the resort and hang out poolside. the front desk will tag your luggage but it is just set out at the curb to the main entrance...I really did not see were it was very secure.
TampaDuo
Yes. They allowed us to even use a hospitality suite to change so we could swim and enjoy the resort. They called our cell phones to let us know when our rooms were ready. We had red level, so I am not sure if that is a service exclusive to that package.

We were told check in was at 4pm but we could arrive early and have use of all the ammenities and theye would hold our bags. We arrived at 2pm and we're given our room immediately.

The age in which the junior rate begins is 17 years old. As long as there are two (2) adults already occupying a room, any child up to the age of 16 years old would not incur a charge for the room accommodations. However, please note that taxes may apply within the package for all ages.

Not sure, it should say when you book. Look under hotel amenities.

NO YOU PAY FOR THEM AS ADULTS, THEY CHARGE LIKE $250 PER KID FOR SECURITY DEPOSIT TO MAKE SURE IF ANYTHING BREAKS IN THE ROOMS THEY WILL RECOVER IT FROM THE $250

This resort is located on the beach. For the most accurate information on the exact setup of the beach or the presence of cabana boys, you would be best to check with the resort directly.

Yes.... personally, I suggest camping in a cabana instead.
spaceplanner
Direct access, yes. No cabano boys!
Hawgman
Yes to direct access to the beach and chairs. The chairs are not always in good repair - the fabric was often dirty, torn and/or worn. There are no umbrellas - if you want shade it is available under the palm trees on the grassy area behind the beach. There are no cabana boys unless you rent a "Bali Bed" by the pool for $30/day. But beware there is very loud music at the pool beginning mid-day.
Ladybug604
NO, THERE IS HARDLY ANY CHAIRS AND THERE IS NO UMBRELLAS, YOU CAN RENT A CABANA FOR A DAY BUT IT HAS VIEW TO THE POOL ONLY, NOT SURE HOW MUCH THEY CHARGE, AND THEY BRING YOU FOOD AND DRINK TO CABANA, VERY EXPENSIVE, FOOD RANGES FROM $55 TO $60 FOR APPETIZERS AND DRINKS ARE $10 EACH. DO NOT STAY THERE
bIBIANA
NO
Donnice
Beach yes, cabana boys / waitresses no.

Depending on what bungalow you stay in you may have a very small walk to the beach. Lots of lounging and hammocks. No umbrellas but lots of nature shade from the palm trees. Did not see any cabana boys.

The Wyndam - and it is close by - about 10 - 15 min drive When we went on the snorkel trip the couple we met said they couldn't even find one shell- lol We had them all at the Gran Melia! Also the Luquillo Beach was the clearest water - but I'm not sure what hotels are near it - That beach was about 20 minutes from Gran Melia and had a fun strip of bars/shops also -
Rico2013
It is very rocky - there is quite a bit of broken up coral in the water and on the beach. We heard from the owner of an ecotourism company that the beaches in Luqillo (about 15-20 minutes away) are very nice, but these are public, government-owned beaches and are not part of any hotel property.

The beach has sand, albeit it's not very long. If you're facing the sun and chilling out it doesn't matter much. My kids had a blast on the beach and they did a lot of snokeling round the reefs 10ft out.
Loquillo beach is much bigger and sandier.. If you want to take a day at the beach, Take the ferry to Culebra at 9am our of Fajardo and check out Flamenco beach. Logistically, staying at the Grand Melia is really good for that.

the beach was very nice- and sandy- the only downside is i snorkeld and there is just millions of sand dollars on the bottom- no fish-

The beach is a little rocky but you can get past that and it is nice water. It has some vegetation growing in it also but we loved the beach there. Snorkeling is fantastic.

It's about 30-40 minutes if you rent a car and take rt 3 all the way. You can cut some time down by taking rt66 but the rental car company charges you a $15 fee to use their ezpass on top of the toll. rt3 has a lot of lights and it looks a lot like some places along US1 in Florida

You can pay extra for a plan that includes breakfast and limited beer and wine, but it doesn't really save you any money. I don't think they offer an all inclusive plan. Drinks at the bar are aroun $8, and they are smaller than you expect. 6 oz pina colada, 3 oz martini...
TexasGal
Choose all inclusive, if you are a big drinker the resort will bankrupt you unless you get a room with a fridge and bring in your own?
Fbt1127
To my knowledge...their are not any all-inclusive resorts in PR. Your best bet is to buy your drinks from a store and keep in your hotel room...it is better because most hotels sell watered down drinks anyhow
TampaDuo
Drinks were surprisingly cheap at this resort. I'm used to paying $10-$14 a drink (I'm from NY), but the drinks at Gran Melia were usually $3-$7.
ToryP18
Buy yourself some good cheap local rum and stock the minifridge
Igarcia
you need to go to the actual town, if you stay at the hotel the will bleed you... go to old san juan and you will be paying about $4 per beer. If you drink rum or cocktails you are looking at $5 to $8 drinks. DONT STAY AT THE HOTEL. Also, quietly ask a bartender in town to do PLAN B, you dont pay for drinks just the tip, but it has to be a great tip. Also, make sure there is no supervisors in the place you are going behind them.

About 30 mins and taxi's are very expensive. Need to rent a car & then they charge $25.00 a day to park at the resort unless rent from AVis & park on there site.

If you want to go to San Juan how is the best way to get bck there because i was told that cabs do not go there and there isnt a shuttle to San Juan and back to the hotel?

CheapCaribbean.com only has information regarding the roundtrip airport transfer service. We suggest contacting the resort directly regarding your inquiry as they would be best to assist you. The email address found directly from the resort's website is gran.melia.puerto.rico@melia.com.
MariaCC
The best option is to rent a car. We went and stayed in Rio Grande. We rented a car by the airport and was able to move from and to whenever we wanted. Traffic is not bad as some people mention it as long as you are on the main roads.
MrsFMarie
Cabs are available for $160 round trip for 4 people.
Aishac
If you are planning to go to historic Old San Juan, there are cabs that the resort can provide with almost no waiting time. It's about 45 mins away, and costs about $80 + tip each way. Renting a car may be a better option, although parking is very difficult.
I don't know about the rest of San Juan, but I got cab transportation both to and from the airport, so I do think cabs go there. The drivers often provide a card and phone number as well so they can pick you back up when it is convenient.
Nolan
There are tours but if you really want to go back and forth to San Juan, stay somewhere closer. It will cost you a small fortune to do the commute. So not worth it!
Earlygirl
We rented a car from Enterprise at the San Juan airport for five days. It ended up costing us only $123 after taxes. The hotel didn't charge us to park however they do have signs saying they will charge $15 per day.
Weezerwil
The hotel has an Avis on site for renting a car and I did see some people using a shuttle but I did not inquire about that. We were there just this past week and I had already arranged for us to rent a car so that way we did not have to worry about transportation during our trip.
tntravelers
We rented a car for $6.50 per day from Allied. The drive from the hotel to San Juan is a straight shoot about 30 minutes and very easy. GPS doesn't work unless it's the one on your cell phone.
Angel71
Rent a car is a must. The resort is 40 mins from San Juan.
DannyG
Use Uber. Might have to call from front of resort to get connection. Do not ask hotel staff for Uber; staff deals with taxi only.

Since this resort is not all inclusive, you are responsible for all food, drink, room service, wifi, and any other additional activities that you wish to participate in.
BethCC
Although there was a sign saying there would be a $15 charge to park our car per day or a $25 charge for valet parking we were never charged to park our vehicle. We were not charged any other fees that we did not voluntarily choose to pay such as restaurants and temporary tattoos.
Weezerwil
There is a $15 per day parking fee if you park yourself and I think valet charges $25 per day. If you use their phone at all, they do charge for that. There are also some beach beds around the main pool that they charge you a fee for if you want to use them but I do not know how much.
tntravelers
A $1.00 UNICEF fee. That was it.
Kita
They will need a credit card upon arriving at the resort. The will hold $400. When you check out they will refund it back to the card. Also if you eat at any of the restaurants on the resort grounds they will give the option of either paying for it after you eat our charge it to the room. If you charge it to the room the will deduct it from the $400 they reserved on the credit card you provided upon arrival. Please keep in mind the food is very expensive here. Rent a car! Trust me you will come out cheaper eating on the outside.
Tappy73
Parking was the only added fee we encountered. There is a self park fee or a valet fee. Self park is the way to go because the parking lot is right near the front entrance.
Grandmasunshiine
Oh yes!!! They charge $16 per day to park regardless of how many times a day you leave and come back. And they didn't tell us ahead of time that they wanted a $100 per night deposit on a credit card. We didn't have that kind of credit available and not much cash so they worked it down to half the amount in cash and they refunded the cash at check out in cash .
Angel71
They will hold 500 on your card
Ghana
They put a $400 hold on the card just for room charges
Parking is $15 and some change a night

Would you recommend the red level package? If so, why?8 answers
3 years, 42 months ago
Washington, D.C.
Most guests at this resort enjoy the red level package, due to the VIP amenities including breakfast, happy hour, Internet and a private pool.
BethCC
Although I do not know how much it would cost, from what I saw I would not recommend the red level package. The red level pool is not as nice as the common pool. There's a club for the red level guess, but it appeared that the other bars were much more happening than the red level club. I'm not sure what else comes with the red level membership but I was content without it.
Weezerwil
Yes! You get a private pool and bungalow and drink discounts. My wife and I upgraded.
mchayes53
Depends,,, we chose not to take it as we often were not there during happy hour. It does give you breakfast and if you like buffets and plan to eat every day, then OK. But there is coffee in the room, bagels, muffins at the market store on the premise and reasonable. Also if you have a car, you can pick up things when you are out and about -- Walmart and groceries are close by.
GMJKW
For the money I do not really see that great of amenities with it. You do get access to a red level pool area and some red level restaurants I think, but the pool is no better than the pools you can normally get.
tntravelers
I would not. The junior suite was more than enough. Save your money and rent a car so you won't be stuck on the resort!
Kita
Yes. We chose this plan to have breakfast (Boy! What a breakfast: omelets, fruit, juices, bacon, oat meal, pastries, etc.) included and more personalized service. You also get your own butler if you would want to use his/her services. There's a daily social hour exclusive for red level folks with free appetizers and drinks. Other perks are available, some at an additional cost.
cricantravelbug
Yes definitely. But upgrade when you get to the resort. It's always cheaper when you do it there

How hard is it to get a taxi from the resort? How much would it be for two people?9 answers
3 years, 40 months ago
USA
The price and ease of getting a taxi from the resort depends on where you are going and what time of year you are traveling. If you are looking for transportation to and from the airport to the resort CheapCaribbean.com offers round trip shared and private transfers that you can purchase as part of your package.
LizCC
It is very easy to get a taxi from Gran Melia. The concierge can order one for you, and you can even order ahead for a specified time. The taxi price depends on where you are going. To the airport it was $65 (total one way); to Old San Juan $80 (total for 2 ppl one way/ $160 round trip) but again the hotel gets a specific driver for you and schedules a pick up time; to Luquillo beach its $60 total round trip.
SamBella
If you are staying in Puerto Rico for any length of time, I recommend renting a car. You can Priceline a car for about $25 a day for a full size. Driving is a little crazy there, but if you are careful you will be fine. Take out the insurance option on the car though...just for peace of mind. The Gran Melia is huge, but if you want to venture off property, it is quite a ways to get to other less remote locations like Old San Juan, Ponce, Fajardo, Culebra Island, etc. Everything is a good distance from the Melia...it is very isolated. Don't use Hertz...their service counter is busy and it takes a while to get a car. Use one of the onsite rental car companies.
Damian412
Transpiration is very easy on the island. We booked through Dragonfly adventures, thirty minute ride was $25 pp
DanaR
Taxi? Easy, just ask the "event coordinators" at the front of the hotel and they will call it for you. Be prepared to pay U.S. mainland prices. Cost? Depends on distance and where you are going.
cricantravelbug
At least $60.00.
NJTraveler359
It is much cheaper to rent a car so long as you reserve it online. The only company on site is Avis and they were higher priced than their online cost. Be prepared - they don't have enough cars at times to allow for the number of people and it takes a long time waiting to see the one agent there. Taxi was very expensive from resort since you are about 40 minutes from San Juan.
bogie2
Easy to get with the help of bell boy. But very expensive. It cost my husband and I $30 one way to go 5 miles. To go to Old San Juan (about 25 mins away) the fare is $60 one way.
Renting a car is better but then they charge you $25 a day to park at the resort unless you rent from AVIS and use there area.

a taxi from the resort isn't hard to get, but it will cost you about $70.
