Went to the Melia Tropical at the beginning of March. Got sick like 60% of the other people at the hotel. One of us contracted a parasite and have been sick for a month. Have also filed a complaint with the tour company . Couldn't eat or drink very much while there, so we didn't get our money's worth. Hope you had a better time than us.
