Meliton

Stayed at the Meliton Hotel for a week. It’s a bit out of the way, so great if you want a quiet holiday. It’s an easy 5-10 min walk to the bus stop to get to Rhodes, Theologos beach, the airport. The staff are all so lovely, but especially the women in reception and on the bar were incredible! The food is very average, can be quite hit and miss but it does the job. Can get ice cream during lunch and dinner too. Soft drinks and tea/coffee available all day. Not a big variety of alcoholic. The pool area is stunning, with plenty of sun loungers, there’s also a relax pool too if you wanted a quiet dip. Only downsides for me, was that we were there for a week and didn’t get a single bedding change, no fresh towels and had to ask at reception for toilet roll. It can get very noisy in the corridors as the doors lock very loudly. Unfortunately we had rowdy neighbours so maybe bring some earplugs!! Overall, was great for the price. Had a very lovely holiday!

Terrible food choice and bland. Nothing with any variety or taste, evenings consisted of one dish mainly a chicken drumstick, with plain rice and plain pasta. We ended up eating out for 3/5 of the nights and everytime we came back and looked at the options we realised we made the right choices. The hotel is basic, we had to pay extra for AC after arriving. Pool is okay, drinks are okay, locations is average, quite a distance out but close to airport. Rhodes as an area is absolutely lovely, we would go back tomorrow. Just not to this hotel.

2/5 ⭐ – Rhodes is wonderful, but we wouldn’t stay here again. The hotel has some positives. The staff were friendly and hardworking, our room was clean, the pool area was well maintained, and the complimentary shuttle to the beach was appreciated. Unfortunately, the negatives outweighed the positives for us. The food was consistently disappointing throughout our stay. It lacked flavour, variety and quality, and even as someone who isn’t particularly fussy, I struggled to find meals I genuinely enjoyed. We were also disappointed that air conditioning was an additional charge, especially for an all-inclusive holiday during the Greek summer. The all-inclusive drinks package was much more limited than we expected. Cocktails were only available during a one-hour “cocktail hour” between 9pm and 10pm, with just one cocktail offered each day. All-inclusive drinks then ended at 10:30pm. The hotel’s location is also worth considering. There is very little within walking distance, so unless you’re planning to hire a car or scooter, or rely on taxis, you’re largely confined to the hotel. The free beach shuttle was a nice touch, but it only ran once a day (10am to 1pm), so staying longer at the beach meant arranging your own transport back. We were fortunate that my partner has a motorcycle licence, so we hired a 300cc scooter and explored the island ourselves. Along with our trip to Symi, that became the highlight of our holiday. One final point was the noise. Our room was close to the bar and kitchen, and we were regularly woken early by activity from the kitchen and kept awake at night by noise from the bar area. This may not affect every room, but it’s something worth being aware of if you’re a light sleeper. Rhodes is a beautiful island and we’d happily return. However, we wouldn’t choose to stay at this hotel again.

Food was THE WORST I've tried , no flavours at all on any meals, what a shame . Location bad. Bugs everywhere. Don't recommend

Just back late last night from here. Hotel is spotless, staff are very friendly and helpful. Family run, has 2 decent pools, plenty of loungers. Rooms are clean and spacious. AI is good, has a range of local spirits and beer along with wine and soft drinks. Food isn’t the biggest selection but it’s more than adequate, fresh and tasty. 10 minutes from airport and only an hour bus journey into Rhodes. Short walk to bus stop €3 to get into Rhodes. Bus tickets sold at reception, car hire, trips etc sold too. Air con is extra but worth it. Small mini mart on site. AI stops at 22.30 but can pay for drinks after that. Wouldn’t hesitate to rebook. First time in Greece and won’t be the last. Two trips we did that siding disappoint was speed boat to Symi and Farma of Rhodes.
