For meeting planners, the Dominican Republic’s Meliá Caribe Tropical itself illustrates a principle of successful meetings: When the Meliá Caribe merged with the Meliá Tropical, the whole became much more than the sum of its parts.

Today’s 135-acre Punta Cana playground combines a wide choice of living and meeting spaces with a vast choice of golf, spa, pool, beach, dining, and entertainment options. The facilities for groups begin with 13,500 square feet of meeting space for up to 1,000 delegates. Then, no matter how determined the attendees, all find it next to impossible to sample every free-time activity.

The all-inclusive policy covers 13 restaurants, nine bars, a casino, disco, and live daily entertainment. Friends and colleagues dip into seven free-form pools, a 27-hole golf course, a workout facility, and two luxury spas. While some brave the climbing wall, glide along a zip line, or defy gravity on super jumpers, others take fitness classes or lessons in dance, cooking, cocktail mixing, or Spanish. Children meet at Flintstone Land, a complimentary kids’ club. And everyone loves Bávaro Beach and the nonmotorized water sports on hand.

The 1,128 accommodations range from Deluxe Junior to Royal Service Deluxe Master Suites. Royal Service comes with personal butlers, a concierge club, and exclusive access to a private beach and pool complex with Balinese daybeds and VIP dining and entertainment.

The Melia Caribe Tropical was a perfect location for our staff incentive conference. The grounds were beautiful and luxurious and staff was friendly and professional, all of our guests had an incredible time!
The food was very good for an all-inclusive and the culinary staff was very creative and innovative in the buffet areas. The restaurants were overall good, it was a bit tricky to make reservations but our group coordinator was very helpful with this. We had a private event that will be remembered for years to come. The staff helped to make it a very memorable night with decorations, delicious food and assistance throughout the night.
The pools and beach were gorgeous and all of our guests felt like royalty. Overall it is a great place for a meeting, just keep in mind that it is very large!

Our company does a year event at this property with 8 or more
events or functions, I can not be more happier to be working with
such a professional group of individuals, especially the sales and
group department. This year our event will be twice the size as
last year, and I can assure you that the reason why is because
the great service they received last year.

Thank you Melia Caribe Tropical!!
