Meliton Hotel

This hotel is a true gem. The staff are all incredibly friendly and can’t do enough for you. The location is beautifully clean although fairly isolated. Public transport is easily accessible as is the beach with a free shuttle service daily from the hotel. I can highly recommend a stay here.

I would not stay here again it was not as advertised at all. Its in the middle of no where down a country road. Its absolutely not all inclusive, as soon as you go to the very small food area there's lots of signs telling you that you can only have certain things within certain times for example you can only have a cocktail for 1 hour, from 22:00-23:00 and there's no choice of a cocktail they only server one type of cocktail a day. This is the same for beers and ciders and spirits, they are only available for 3 hours of the day. The beach shuttle is at 10 i believe and the last shuttle back is 13:00 so can only spend 3 hours at the beach before having to figure out how to get back yourself. The beds are absolutely horrendous!! Basically a concrete slab and you can feel the springs in the mattress. We did not sleep well at all. You dont get any towels for around the pool, there's only snacks at certain times too. The soft drinks are just a syrup mixed with water so they are horrible. The bathroom is very small, it was very difficult to wash yourself in the tiny shower. And the shower head was broken with water coming out the pipe and not the actual head. The food available was also poor, hardly any hot food, mostly salad. The times breakfast, lunch and dinner are available are also very short periods and once you miss it the staff of the hotel come in and eat what's left so if you've missed it you have no chance of getting anything. Just really poor, it was fairly cheap but for £300 per person for 3 nights and advertised as all inclusive I expected better. Would definitely not recommend or stay again, spend a bit more and go somewhere with a better location and better bed!

Firstly, the staff were amazing. Everyone was very kind- panos and the man at the shop :) However, our stay wasn’t amazing. The rooms were clean and nice however after having a shower the shower water would go all over the floor- despite us putting a Matt down. As there was no shower door or curtain. The “all inclusive” is most deffo not. You can only have alcohol from 4pm - 10:30pm. I’m not personally a drinker and didn’t drink but for people who are you’re better off going to a different place with better timings. the food was very underwhelming and we had to eat out a few nights or pay 12€ for a pizza instead. We paid for this and we can’t even enjoy it and having to spend even more money to go out and eat something edible. Breakfast and lunch is about the only edible things they do. Location is very out the way, we knew this when booking however didn’t realise how far. Beach transport is 10am-1pm otherwise you have to make your own way back. Me and my partner ended up walking back the days we went to the beach but couldn’t until the evening as it’s just too hot to walk back. The beach is nice, not sandy though so you’ll have the wear foot wear!! Mini market was a great decision, have soft drinks, alchoholic, snacks, chocolate, towels etc etc. An incident happened to me and I asked for a first aid kit and I was given very minimal materials despite my toenail literally hanging off because of the stairs by the pool. Which I had to also apply myself as there was no one first aid trained. Taxis are overpriced. €11.50 MINIMUM for not even a 5 mins drive. And it advertises “ask reception for a beach towel” which is €2 a day!!! Despite us paying what we paid. And check out is 11am so if you have a late flight ( like we did) you have to leave your suitcases out and do nothing all day, or pay €85 for a later checkout… The receptionist said there’s showers we can use, not at alll. It’s a hose shower, had to go to airport without showering after sitting by the pool alll day. They need entertainment everynight, bingo, more kareoke as the best night we had was Tuesday the kareoke night. Everyone was happy and mingled, apart from that everyone looked tired and bored . Deffo didn’t get our moneys worth. Wouldn’t stay here again. Staff were lovely though can’t thank them enough .

Stayed at this hotel in the end of May. It was fantastic! The rooms are very comfortable, clean. Cleaning is done every day. There are 2 swimming pools and this is great. The staff is very friendly, sociable, communicative. They speak many languages and this is very convenient. The food is tasty and various.

We have just come home yesterday from this place. The rooms are actually not too bad, good sizes and well maintained furniture and fixings. The air-conditioning is preset and you can not adjust the temperature, and it times out after a few minutes too. So in 35° heat as it was when we stayed, it wasn't the most comfortable environments. The rest of the hotel is stunning, the "big" pool isn't overly large nor deep and there is a quiet pool too, thats even smaller. Other than the pool, eating area/bar and reception there are just the apartment buildings. No other forms of entertainment. No entertainment in an evening apart from Tuesday is Karaoke and Saturday is Greek night. There is a "park/play area" outside for children but its very very small equipment only suitable for ages below 6. When they come to refresh the rooms each day, they simply empty the bins and make the beds. No sweeping, wiping sides or changing bedding where necessary. They didn't refresh the toilet roll either. The staff are all very pleasant and helpful when looking for advice regarding car hires or busses into Rhodes Town. Can't really fault them per say. The food is good quality but extremely, extremely limited choice. Breakfasts are rhe exact same each day, the lunches and teas change a few items out occasionally but for the most part its the same. So it gets repetitive. The buffet area is very small, much smaller than I expected. Perhaps this is the reason for the lack of choices. Ice creams and snacks are set to specific times, and again, basic, snacks are just a handful of biscuits and no other selection. Drinks are set times for different things, soft drinks served all day, but only fizzy drinks past 10.30am, ale/larger served until 4.30, then you have a choice of a handful of spirits. Coffees only served during meal times. Not a great amount to do within walking distance, a few shops, a few restaurants, all spaced a while apart at least 20 minutes walk until the first shop, and the beach access is around the same. Theologos beach is not sandy though so keep that in mind. Nor is it a beach with a lot happening ie watersports, bars ect. Overall, brilliant staff, stunning environment, but could do with some more entertainment and better choices on food and less restrictions around drink times. We chose to hire a car so we could see more so I cant comment on the shuttle bus or local bus services but from what I heard from others staying at the hotel, limited choices again in times they ran and came back.
