Sunmelia Beach Resort

Small rooms, first generations of tvs. 3 elevators none of them is working. If you stay at 7th floor like us, you doing cardio everyday, multiple times

Just got back from a 10 day stay here and I can say I had a lovely time, food was similar everyday but the kebabs were lovely. The animation team were great and energetic and involved everybody. The night time entertainment was mediocre, but the kids enjoyed them. Mini disco was on a bit too late I feel as it started at 21:00. Most of the bar staff were lovely (had a bit of a soft spot for Serhat haha). Although there were a lot of sunbeds, it was difficult to get any as people put towels down to save them when they weren’t even at the pool for the day. My kids enjoyed the slides, but you have to be over 12 to go on the snake slide and my kids really wanted to go on it lol. But they were too young. The beach is about a 5 minute walk and has a bar and food available too, the sea was warm!! The sand near the water is a bit rocky, but once in it was soft. The 24 hour bar was a very good perk aswell. I think the only issues I had were that the baby pools sides were broken and my son fell multiple times. Also the lifts in the hotel are really small for the amount of people that the hotel holds.

In a hotel where there are no clean towels, the food is poor, and, on top of everything, the staff is extremely unpleasant and rude, especially around the swimming pools and water parks. You wake up at 3 a.m. because of the rooster crowing. I do not recommend this hotel. Ksaver

After spending one week at Sunmelia Hotel & Spa, I can honestly say this was a complete waste of money. This hotel does not meet the standards of a 5-star all-inclusive resort. The food was one of the biggest disappointments. It was bland, repetitive, and almost the same every single day. The hotel prioritizes quantity over quality, especially when it comes to the food and drinks The juices had no real taste, and although there were many desserts, they all tasted almost identical. The cocktails were equally disappointing—watery, flavorless, and poorly made. The service was far below expectations. Drinks were often served in plastic cups or in glasses that were visibly dirty. Housekeeping was unacceptable. Our room was never properly cleaned during our entire stay, despite being occupied for a full week. To make matters even worse, there was extremely loud music and noise every night until around 4:00 a.m., making it impossible to get proper sleep. This is absolutely not suitable for families with children looking for a relaxing holiday.

I am writing this review from and English family perspective. We arrived at the hotel at around 3am and the staff were very helpful and friendly. They checked us in very quickly and offered us help with our bags to our room. Our room is perfectly fine for our family (we are two adults and an 8 yr old). We have a sea view double room and it has a double bed and single bed. The facilities in the room are good. We have tea and coffee and a fully stocked fridge every day with water, coke, sprite etc. The food buffet is absolutely fine but not catered for English. The hotel isn’t an English hotel and most of the other families are from other places in the world so nothing here is catered for English. That being said, the food was still nice and could easily find foods that tasted nice. There’s loads of fresh salad and meats with rice and mash potato to eat. The lunch time buffet down at the beach restaurant was our favourite for lunch. They always had kebab chicken or lamb with a large selection of salad with rice or chips which we all loved to eat every day. There’s even a lady that sits down there and make made to order flat breads every day which are really delicious. In the mornings we used the gym and put our towels out on the sunbeds and did this about 7am. We had no trouble getting the beds we wanted everyday. The pool is great and is quite big so enough room for everyone to have fun. They also have daily activities in the pool which looked fun. The pool bar does always have a queue but it goes down pretty quickly and they are very friendly. Cocktails are basic but nice. They also serve beer and all soft drinks including a self service coffee machine. The private beach is lovely and just a short walk down the pathway to get there. They have a bar and snack bar down at the beach too so can still enjoy your all inclusive at the beach. Within the lobby there are a few shops that offer all your designer goods and these seem pretty good. We bought a fair few things from them and the guys that work there are all very friendly. The gym is basic but it was ok to make up a few of your own workouts. We took a taxi up to the shopping centre which cost us 5 euros. The shopping can keep you entertained for hours! If designer clothing, shoes and accessories are your thing, bring a second suitcase as you can get really carried away!
