It has been 8 long months since our last visit but my partner and I will be returning to MLD for the 7th time next week and I can't wait! I simply don't understand some of the poor reviews on this site. The hotel itself is absolutely beautiful, constantly being cleaned and maintained - I think every time we have... More

The food was average. The specialty restaurants did not... More

Just returned from a week long trip with a close friend and had a restful and enjoyable stay at the Melia las Dunas. The resort is huge, the staff very friendly and accommodating, and the beach stunning. The only negatives were: food was hit and miss, some great meals, but some not so great ones. Most of the a la... More

Was there for a wedding two weeks ago. Food at the wedding was horrible, we had one server for 20 people and steak was so hard no one could chew it. Wedding official was about 1/2 hour late in arriving and meanwhile we were standing on the beach in the hot sun with five small children. After the 15 minute... More

Susan and I have been to MLD 5 times and are returning June 15. The people working at this resort are what make it a special place for us. Cubans are the most wonderful hosts and at MLD they shine. We have always been treated like friends and not just guests. Anyone can find something wrong with any resort if... More
