Hotel Melia Ponce

This place suits me perfectly! The free Wi-Fi, outdoor swimming pool, and 24-hour reception provide everything I need. The staff once helped me find a valuable item, which I'll always remember. I'm excited to return for a weekend!

Stylish neo-colonial rooms (on ground floor close to swimming pool), beautifull courtyard inside the hotel and hotel roof for your breakfast, swimming pool, excellent position on the main Ponce square, parking just behind the hotel. Very helpfull staff.

No restaurant available on the spot (at least by end Oct 2012), on weekends may be noisy (especially for those with windows looking over the street).

Beautiful and absolutely fantastic hotel with good free Wi-Fi. Functional room with an exceptionally comfortable bed, excellant service. The bathroom was clean and the stuff was very nice. Had awesome location to Ponce historic district, really close to Plaza of Delights.

warm staff service complementing the lovely pool area

Beautiful historic building, friendly staff.

The room was a little run-down, small and not so comfortable (for the price)

I have done my share of travelling and stayed in a good number of hotels and I can honestly say that Melia in Ponce is the best-run, most old- school customer-oriented hotel I have ever known, holding itself to a code of professionalism rarely seen these days in any line of business. 5 times now I have been to Ponce and 5 times I have gone with Melia. I would never think of staying anywhere else! Melia's staff is the epitome of class and professionalism, at every level and in all areas. Just as very typical example, on my most recent trip my friend and I were driven to the airport to catch our return flight by the front desk manager (at 2:00 AM, no less) when we were unable to get a taxi. As with everything else, this was done graciously and automatically. I could go on and on all day about this hotel, but suffice it to say I wish more hotels would model themselves on Melia... The world would be a much happier place!

perfectly positioned for exploring ponce's vibrant attractions

I loved how easy it was to stroll to the fine Parque de Bombas just a minute away and enjoy breakfast at a local café a few steps down the street, making the mornings feel lively and full of charm.

Location, friendlyness, activities in the surroundings, reasonalbe price, nice rooms.

None.

The central location right on the Plaza was superb, handy to shops and restaurants and places of interest within the town, and there is a fantastic ice cream shop that we frequented just below. The hotel was very traditional in its feel, Spanish style, and had a good pool which was great respite from the heat, our 4 teenage boys loved it. We would stay there again given the chance, really lovely spot and great value for money.

The bed in our room had bad roll together, we ended up asking for a rollaway bed for one of us to sleep on so that we didnt have to share, it was too uncomfortable. A good mattress on the bed we had would have seen us give Hotel Melia 5 stars, a shame that aspect let it down.

Besides the charm of a Hotel that has operated for over 100 years, the natural friendliness and courtesy of Ponce residents was evident in the Hotel staff. The "Continental Breakfast" needs fruits, natural cereals and real cups and dishes instead of plastic and paper. I will stay here again.

Location, location, location! Great place to be to celebrate Mardi Gras. Neat cultural experience!

Room extremely small- half the size of what I expected as if an older room cut in half when they remodeled it. Found cockroach bug on floor- yuck!

The centrally located hotel has a beautiful lobby with a blend of old and modern decor, quite a surprise compared to the rest of the facilities. While the comfort of the beds was appreciated, the maintenance of the hotel shows noticeable wear. Breakfast options were limited, and the outdoor seating quickly became uncomfortable in the heat of the day.

It is located right at the central square, we could see the carneval procession from the balcony. The hotel staff were very friendly and helpful, the room was clean and comfortable, and the pool easily accessible.

Old city charm in the center of Ponce

The room had some construction detales that could be taken care of without much expenditure.

I enjoyed the beautiful Victorian decoration in the lobby and the surrounding areas. The high ceilings and fine chandeliers, and the charming outdoor spaces were good for relaxation and socializing.

Upgraded rooms would enhance the overall experience.
