The Melia was about what I expected and that's a good thing. Lots of things we expect never happen. Check in was easy and our bags were brought to our room within minutes. We were on the 4th floor with a center room that had a perfect view of the garden pond and the ocean. We could see all the boats and cruise ships coming and going from the Marina. You could set you watches by the Pirate ship that set sail twice a day. The grounds are very lovely and it's a short walk to anywhere you want to be. The pool is kept well but for my taste...way too cool. There is never a shortage of chairs, but if you don't have kids and don't want to be around them...position yourself away from the two shallow ends of the pool. Go for a walk on the beach and look at the other resorts on either side, I think the Melia is the best looking of them all. We didn't go into town but we did walk across the street to the Marina, what a beautiful collection of boats. There were small, big and really large. Lots of restaurants and little shops, but be careful of the time-share people, there are many. We ate well at the Melia, especially the french toast with carmel sauce for breakfast. We really enjoyed our stay at the Melia and would consider it again for a future visit to Puerta Vallarta.
