Good topic. I was looking at Melia Carbie this morning per advice from a coworkers. It looks legit.

We had our wedding at Melia Caribe two years ago. Any questions you may have I can answer.

It was good for our purposes: The wedding gazebo is the best in DR, its beautiful. We had a large party and there is lots of dining options.

However, the place is HUGE. It is two resorts that formed into one. Its so big that there is a train that takes you around. Its good for families and stuff, but I would not recommend it for a romantic get away at all. It was good for our wedding purposes, but we left and went to a different resort for our honeymoon.

The resort next door to Melia, Paradisus, is much nicer, smaller, and gives you access to Melia.

We stayed at the Zoetry for our honeymoon and that was great. The excellence is also beautiful.

IF you decide to stay at the Melia, make sure you get the premium package (I forget what its called). Well worth it.
