We just got back from a spending another 5 nights/ 6 days in Paradise (April 28 thru May3), or should I say; “Gran Melia Golf Resort” Rio Grande, Puerto Rico. I was there in October 2012(see my other review), and enjoyed it so much. We had to return! And it was as beautiful, as we had remembered! The weather was... More

My experience at the resort was absolutely wonderful! The staff was helpful and resourceful and always available. The Red level is a must! The service was the best I'd ever experienced at any resort from check-in to check out. Pool-side massages were the icing on the cake (I think only available for Red-level). We had access to our own personal... More

If they had 4.5 stars, that would be my score. I just really liked this place a whole lot. It was far away from San Juan, but worth being off the beaten path. I thought the hotel was impressively clean, the staff friendly, and the gardens beautiful. You are beholden to the restaurants on offer for your meals. Yes, the... More

We stayed at the Gran Melia for 10 days for a girls trip. The grounds are beautiful though its out of the way so you will need to rent a car to go in to Old San Juan. The restuarant are pricey and the guards watch to see if you are bringing food on the grounds. You should be able... More

This is a review of the Club Melia at Gran Melia Rio Grande vacation club/timeshare section. We exchanged into this resort with RCI from May 4th to 11th and it was a very good home base for us exploring Puerto Rico. We really liked the location away from the city with natural surroundings. This was our first visit to P.R.... More

Just a few facts & experiences from our stay in March 2013: The property is absolutely lovely, and everyone who worked there was very polite and nice, but be prepared to be be nickel and dimed: Wifi isn't free in the rooms, & one may not put anything in a mini-fridge without a daily financial penalty (one could request either...

Checked in today! Wow! What an amazing resort! From the keeping of the grounds, amenities and the personal service everyone provides you. We were warmly greeted upon checking in with complimentary drinks and personally welcomed by Ivan G.E.M. (who really is one of Gran Melia's jewel) to which we were chauffered to our room and given a brief tour of... More

Gran Melia could be great. As is it now, it's only okay and doesn't quite reach the status of elite resorts. My wife and I stayed their for a week in May 2013. This resort is large, meaning you'll probably have to walk several minutes from the bungalows to the beach or pool. The grounds are very well maintained and... More

We wanted a quick getaway, easily and quickly reached by a nonstop flight from the NYC area and to simply lie on the beach and swim in the warm ocean. We got that! Gran Melia is about 20 miles from the airport but it is worth the ride to get out of the city area if you are looking for... More
