Ed, I have been to the Melia twice this year and did not have a problem either time with cockroaches. The resort is beautiful and the staff is great. Don't believe too much of what you read. I read a lot of bad reviews on the hotel and almost canceled the first time around. I'm so glad I didn't. Second time was even better!! Have a great time and tell Winston that Lysa from Chicago says "Hi", you will get a great big smile from him.
