Meliton

Booked a 7 night stay. Arrived at the hotel and after an hour booked somewhere else for the last 4 nights of our stay in Faliraki. Hotel is advertised as “all inclusive” but on arrival we were told we would have to pay €50 cash for air conditioning. We also had to pay €25 climate tax, which is fine however they insisted we pay for it in cash?? Room was clean but we were given two twin beds stuck together which isn’t ideal as a young couple. The air conditioner was leaking out from a tube onto the balcony into an overflowing bucket. Shower door didn’t close properly. The worst part was the food. I understand we booked a cheap deal and you get what you pay for but the food was truly inedible. Old, hard, greasy pasta for lunch and dinner everyday. Very little variety between lunch and dinner on any of the days. Very little option for deserts. Barely any fruit at breakfast. Just seemed like old reheated crap every day. Plain foods suited to a western pallet are standard and expected in these types of all inclusive hotels but this was just badly done. Decided to venture into the town on one of the nights for dinner. Only option for getting there and back is walking through poorly lit roads. Definitely wouldn’t walk it alone or with girl friends. Alcohol had limited selection and was watered down and served in tiny plastic cups. Soft drinks etc were only available after 10am on all inclusive. I could go on and on. On a more positive note, the pools were lovely and clean and the staff were friendly. There is a shop where you can buy essentials, snacks and alcohol. If the food wasn’t so awful it would be fine for the type of holiday where you just want to sit by the pool all day. We stayed here 4 months ago and I had to write a review as my partner and I still regularly laugh about how bad the experience was. Our fault for not reading the reviews in more depth before booking as so many of the reviews say the same.

Well where do I start. Hotel was not 3* more like 1* rooms ok my room had tatty shower curtain which had seen better days. Towelshard and yellow looking instead of white. Food well could have been lot better even if got to get food at times stated was always lukewarm warm. My daughter and family are vegans guess they had to eat warm chips plain pasta and salad. Youngest lived on toast and watermelon for 10 nights, staff were ok friendly enough. Not recommend this hotel unless you not vegan and like extremely quiet time. Would never go back to this place I am disgusted beyond with this place. Breakfast 7.30-10. Lunch 12.30- 2.pm dinner7- 9 pm that’s its.Shop was ok but cheaper outside. Cocktails hour 9-10pm was a joke cocktail was slushie coloured water with splash of spirit. Greek night was ok as was karaoke.

Here at the Meliton Hotel all the staff came across polite easy to talk to and always help. Location is out the way good if your looking for a holiday to relax get away from all the noise and wind down. As we stayed in September -October we didn't really need the air con but to have this comes at an extra cost bedding,towels changed daily mopped and swept always clean . For me it was worth it because I needed a quiet holiday just to relax by the pool the food was good and catered for everyone's needs. The only thing that would of made this Hotel a 5 star for me as if it had a kettle in the room or an option to hire one. I would recommend this hotel for someone on the same budget all Inclusive is the best way to go as you are quite secluded. The atmosphere is always good its never noisey. Overall the place is good quiet there is a bus that takes you into the old town Rhodes plus excursions can be purchased from the hotel

Firstly the hotel is remote with very little nearby. The staff at the hotel are really hard working and very pleasant. The pool area was clean with staff constantly collecting glasses. The pool itself was adequate but had algae around the water line. The rooms were more than adequate with the block overlooking the pools being the better rooms. The maids cleaned the room daily. The food is limited with no types of food for the youngsters and little for any vegetarian travellers. Ice cream can only be had during meal times, with no snacks at all out of the set meal times. Entertainment is limited to two evenings per week, one Greek dancing night and one Karaoke night. There is definitely room for improvement, more entertainment on an evening would be great as the hotel is very remote. More selection in the meal department and snacks during the day. Catering for the young is minimal, ice cream is cheap so shouldn’t be just for meal times in my view. My view is if you want an isolated hotel, with minimal noise then this is for you, if you have young children then I would look somewhere else. All in all we enjoyed are stay in the most, but had to eat out three times just so the grandson could eat something he liked.

It is the fourth time that we have stayed at this hotel over many years. Our room was very nice and has been updated. The bathroom was a good size. The staff were all very helpful, hardworking and friendly, especially the ladies on Reception. The food was plentiful, fresh fruit and salads every day. The hotel is an ideal base for exploring Rhodes and we would recommend hiring a car, but the bus service to Rhodes Town was excellent. The hotel is very clean. The Meliton is a very good budget hotel.
