Visited Melia Oct. 21 to 28, 2019 and most recently Jan. 18 to 25, 2020. If you are looking for an amazing golf and/or beach experience and a resort that is packed with Canadians, this is the right resort for you! In October my husband and I had a great week celebrating my 50th birthday. We golfed together on my bday, and he golfed a few mornings while I slept in, enjoyed my cappuccino from Robleza on the beach, soaked up some sun, read my book, and then met him for lunch at La Robleza. It s a gorgeous restaurant patio overlooking the pool and ocean. Rachel served us daily and she was superb. We enjoyed the tastiest white fish fillet and grilled veggies. Pina coladas, Havana Specials (pineapple and rum), white wine and the best champagne (can t get enough of it!). The food at Melia is awesome if you are used to eating healthy! Lots of beef, pork, chicken, fish, veggies and salad to choose from. Great variety of cheeses and the bread is to die for. Made daily and no preservatives. The pizza is super yummy too. The hamburgers served at the beach bar and restaurant are so good two moist patties topped with a fried egg, a slice of ham, tomato and lettuce on a homemade bun! It s just as good if not better than the same burger you can order in Canada at The Works. We had a beautiful room overlooking the 15th hole on the golf course and on my birthday they left us a bucket of champagne in our room to celebrate after our round of golf. Our visit in January was much the same but with friends to enjoy more golf and more champagne of course! If you love a challenging golf course with amazing views, you will love the Melia Varadero Golf Course adjacent to Melia Las Americas. Great weather and great experiences. Before and after dinner we enjoyed the bar lounge where the staff put on their own show in the evenings what we call the Raul Show . We laughed so hard our faces hurt. He does this silent film routine behind the bar that coincides with the singing and dancing performances in the lobby. He had us in stitches during the opera performances. Don t ever stop being you Raul because you are the best. During both trips we upgraded to the Level, where you get quite a few perks such as pre-booked restaurant reservations for 7:30 p.m. at the four restaurants Sakura, La Robleza, Arcada and Il Limoncello. Also enjoyed our own private pre-dinner drinks at the Level Lounge where we sipped on champagne and enjoyed premium spirits. We golfed each morning, enjoyed the beach all afternoon, ate well each day, laughed, drank and danced the night away to the band in the lobby. Highly recommend a week or more at Melia Las Americas!
