Stayed at this resort recently and overall had a good experience. The rooms are comfortable but definitely in need of refurbishment—they could use a refresh. Housekeeping is excellent, keeping everything clean and well-stocked. The food is outstanding—plenty of variety, always fresh, and far better than what you usually find in holiday resorts. Easily 5 stars for the food alone. Staff are friendly and helpful, especially the ladies at reception who are lovely and professional. Unfortunately, the male reception staff could be more attentive—they sometimes act more like owners than employees. One downside: no proper facilities for late check-out. If your flight is at night, there’s nowhere to shower or rest, which is a big letdown. This place is perfect for families—lots of kids running around, playing, and making noise. If you’re after peace and quiet, this isn’t the place. But if you’re looking for a fun, family-oriented holiday, it’s a great choice.

Great hotel with very nice staff the are working hard to make it for you a great holiday. The beach and swimming pools are very nice and clean. The eating is really great there is so much to choose unbelievable. The drinks and specially the cocktails are so good made that you can order them all day. The rooms are not really special but everything what you need is there the can update 1 time the bathroom because that's look really old and not nice! It's a small hotel with 150 rooms so it's not too much people what we liked really much. We gonna go back there for sure no doubt about that.

We had an absolutely wonderful stay at Grecotel Meli Palace! Everything was perfect – from the beautiful surroundings and well-kept gardens to the top-notch service and incredibly friendly staff. The food was delicious and varied every day, with something for every taste. Our room was clean, comfortable, and tastefully decorated. The private beach was peaceful and perfect for relaxing. What stood out the most was the attention to detail and the warm, welcoming atmosphere. We truly felt pampered throughout our entire stay. We will definitely come back and highly recommend Grecotel Meli Palace to anyone looking for a high-quality, relaxing vacation in Crete. Thank you, Grecotel Meli Palace, for an unforgettable experience!

Overall, the hotel is superb. It is clean, the food is excellent, the view is amazing, and there are nice bars and a beautiful pool. However, we noticed two small downsides: the rooms are a bit old compared to the rest of the hotel, but they are very clean, which definitely adds value. The second issue is that the beach has quite a lot of seaweed, which I believe could be resolved by cleaning it regularly — that would also improve the smell. That said, there’s an extraordinary beach with fine sand just a 15-minute walk away!

Relaxing Solo Holiday at Grecotel Meli Palace I had a 12 Night stay here as a solo traveller from 09/06/25 - 21/06/25 and had a nice quiet, relaxing holiday. The hotel was located in a nice quiet location which is what I wanted. The hotel is clean and well maintained and all the staff were very friendly throughout my stay. I’m a very fussy/basic eater but there was always a good selection of food so I never went hungry. I liked how I didn’t have to rush up very early in the morning to get a sun-bed round the beach area as there was a pile of sun-beds(which are light) to pick up and plenty of space to put it to sit. Though towards the end of my holiday there was the one day where I did actually struggle to get one, so it may get harder as it gets busier. The swimming pool area there is not as much room. The self serving drinks machines and ice cream at the beach/pool bar is very good so I could just keep going up to refill and hardly queue though it was starting to get busier my last few days. I had a massage at the SPA which was very nice and relaxing, the staff there were very nice and made me feel very comfortable and relaxed. I took a walk into Sissi which was about 20-30 minutes and a nice little village with shops/bars and ATM machine (there isn’t an ATM at the hotel). The sea was nice to swim in, would definitely bring sea shoes to wear as it is pebbly and stoney as you enter the water. I had a Garden View room which was basic but had everything I needed. The cleaner who cleaned my room done a very good job. When away I do like to sit on my room balcony and chill. It was quite hard to do here as there is not much privacy as the balcony to your neighbour is like you are literally sitting next/with each other. Overall, I go on holiday to sit and relax and was sure able to do that here. Would return and recommend. Thank you everyone at Grecotel Meli Palace
