Meliton

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.

It was an excelent vacation spot,great location,very clean and very friendly staff.Highly recommend !

Came for a short break , this week & can honestly it’s been lovely. All staff are really friendly & polite . Food is a bit hit & miss but it’s a small family run hotel & done very well. It’s a bit out of the way , but we hired a car & went all over the island . Would definitely stay here again if we came back to Rhodes, but that is unlikely as there is a whole world out there to explore. Overall a quiet, friendly hotel.

We have stayed at the Meliton Hotel several times over the last 10 years. We find it a well run, friendly hotel, very good for a 3 star place. The rooms and grounds are well maintained and laid out. The Meliton Hotel is a lovely place to unwind and relax, if you want a party hotel this is not the hotel for you look at Faliraki or Ialysos. The Meliton Hotel is a great base if you're exploring especially if you hire a car. The rooms are clean, please note the rooms don't get cleaned everyday, it is usually every other day, this is also true of towel changes. The towels are for room use only not for using by the pools, you'll need to pack your own. I noted a previous reviewer said the towels were yellow, they aren't, they appear yellow in the bathroom due to the colour of the lights. If you view them in daylight you clearly see they are white and clean. The food is good, fresh and plentiful. The dining room tends to be closed between meals and drinks are available at the outside bar, this includes for meal times and breakfast. The deserts are light and tasty and there is always fresh fruit available, the oranges are amazing and juicy. When the hotel is busy you might have to queue a short while, this is especially true if you go to the lunch and dinner as soon as it opens. Breakfast got busy usually between 08.00-08.30. There is always a salad bar/buffet available as well as hot options. If you are anticipating chips and pizza this hotel is not for you. They provide a good range of foods based on the Greek diet and what is available locally. We think that for a small hotel they do really well. Please note your food/diet preferences in the online check in form when you arrive. This will help the kitchen plan options for vegetarian/vegan diets etc. To do this you need to scroll down on the form before pressing the proceed button. Please be aware that there is a tourist tax that you need to play on arrival, we worked out it is 5 euros per room per night for your stay. They prefer cash as the banks charge them to process this and it goes to the government (local council) rather than the hotel. We googled it and this is the usual tourist tax for a 3* hotel in Greece (Rhodes Island) - this tax can vary across Europe and has been in place for about a decade in other places such as Barcelona and Venice. Before booking please look at where is it on a map! Theologos is about a 40 minute drive from Rhodes old town or a 70 minute bus ride. To get to the bus stop you have to walk down a country lane surrounded by farm land. It does have good street lighting but the hotel is surrounded by farmland. The Meliton Hotel is a lovely place to unwind and relax, if you want a party hotel this is not the hotel for you look at Faliraki or Ialysos. The Meliton Hotel is a great base if you're exploring especially if you hire a car. We hired a care from HiWay care hire locally. The modernised rooms are lovely, those that haven't been modernised yet might be slightly dated but are clean and comfortable. For the cost esp. for fully inclusive you get plenty of bang for your buck and we wouldn't revisit so frequently if we couldn't sleep or felt the hotel was unclean. Reading these reviews it can seem that people want 5* experiences forgetting they they are paying 3*.

We visited the Meliton Hotel for a week at the end of May. We were excited to go as this was our first holiday together. When we arrived we were greeted at reception and completed online check in which was quick and easy. We were offered food at a small fee as we arrived after 11pm however, we declined as we were so tired we just wanted to go to bed. Throughout the week we ate at the hotel multiple times and all the food was very good. All of the staff were excellent and very friendly. The room was cleaned every day with new towels provided. By the third night we decided we needed an extra pillow each which was provided without any problems. The atmosphere around the hotel was lovely and calming as you were slightly out of the way of the town, which was exactly what we were looking for. The hotel provided a shuttle service from the hotel to Theologos beach everyday, however we chose to walk as it was around 20 minutes away. On Tuesday they had a karaoke I night which we unfortunately missed out on, however, we were there on the Saturday for Greek night which was brilliant as everyone was up dancing and singing. We travelled to Rhodes by bus which was a 15 minute walk away from the hotel to the bus stop (Lemon Tree). I would definitely recommend using the times provided by Google Maps to find the times of the bus as we had used the Moovit app which ended up telling us incorrect times, so we wasted quite a lot of time waiting for the bus. It was €14 for 2 of us to get a return from Theologos to Rhodes which was definitely worth it. Each night there was music which stayed on until after the bar had closed, but this was no issue as we could not hear the music from our room. The hotel also provided an excursion service on a Sunday where you could chose to visit either Farma of Rhodes or the Butterflies Valley for €10. This was a brilliant experience and would definitely recommend. If you are looking for somewhere else to eat rather than the hotel for a change, we visited Dundees and Seaview Restaurant, which were both brilliant and good food for the price. Overall, we would definitely recommend the Meliton as it was very good value. The staff are lovely and so welcoming, which made the stay even better.
