Grecotel Meli Palace

Vallo Kivimaa

We spent our honeymoon at this lovely hotel. The staff is very helpful. The food is tasty and varied from day to day. Rooms could use some freshening up. All the public areas are fine and well kept. There was live entertainment every evening. A thing to note that there is no WiFi in hotel rooms, only in public areas. Overall would visit this hotel again for sure.

I just want to say a huge thank you to every single person working at the Meli Palace. We were treated like royalty from start to finish. The service went above and beyond, with exciting upgrades and even a birthday cake. Great location, private beach, lovely pool, entertainment, drinks and food. The best part though, was how kind and funny everyone is - warm and personable and made us feel like part of the family. My only piece of constructive feedback is the double beds were uncomfortable, but I’m sure if we’d said anything then they would have come up with a solution (we used the other single mattresses which were much softer so all fine in the end!) Thank you all, you are amazing! We can’t wait to come back and bring friends next time!

Read all, it’s really bad. The points are in no particular order. PUBLIC AREAS: Restaurant too small, always waiting 20 min Outdoor area is reduced/closed from 18:00, pavilion from 17:00. you are only allowed to sit on the wicker chairs in front of the bar. No longer on the loungers at the pool, beach or lawn to read a book. You are very rudely shooed away that the area is closed and the sunbeds are then pulled away by the staff. Very little entertainment. Only Pilates and in the evening small "show"/live music in the "amphitheater" or the fireplace. Spa/sports area costs extra! 4€ for the equipment, 4€ the sauna, 4€ the whirpool (price for whole day). Day ticket for the whole area 10€ instead of single 12€ but only on demand. At A la carte double music, there is always music playing from speakers, location of the pavilion next to the amphitheater, you can hear the show there. Very unpleasant during a cozy dinner No WLAN in the room, only lobby, very very poor, often no connection. Quasi not usable. Cocktails very loveless, nothing shaken. Many cocktails from the menu can not be ordered because ingredients are not available. The toilets at the pool disgusting, stink extremely of old urine, everything rusted, are probably never cleaned, early in the morning sand everywhere from the bathers from the previous day, so not even wiped floor. No toilets near the restaurant, you have to walk to the toilets at the spa/sports area. There is a single plastic bottle of water in the room for the whole vacation, you have to refill it in the restaurant or bar at the water dispenser. ROOM: Room atrocious, poor condition, walls damp, paint peeling, even on the furniture. Table is a TV bench on a couch table. Balcony tiny, shared with neighbors. Beds are mattresses on 4 legs, no headboard, no footboard. 90cm wide. Feather light the bed frames, once placed in the middle they slide apart and you fall into the gap. We actually wanted a room with a double bed, there is probably not. View from the balcony to the bed, curtain too small, no darkening possible. Air conditioning is only "on" in 1-3 stages of the fan or off. No temperature control possible. Toilet is visually very unattractive and toilet seat does not fit the toilet, as soon as you sit down you slide to the right or left along with the toilet seat sideways from the bowl. Shower water is not warm (on 2 whole evenings!!) Freshly washed towels smell strongly of cigarette smoke. Incredible amount of dust in the bed and room. Girlfriend combs her hair in the morning, unbelievable amount of dust combed out of the hair, you can see in the brush. What you could guess before: Hotel is located in nowhere. Walk to Sisi 1h through the rocky coast, over the road much longer. Beach is 50m long and gravel. So no beach walks. Good: buffet food good, A-la carte very good, 1x included from a stay of 7 days. TUI excursions from hotel Most staff friendly, helpful

This place is fantastic for a real vacation. Quiet, private beach, pool, entertainment throughout the day. The food was amazing!! Staff is superb. Everyone with a smile on their face and really liking their jobs. The hotel cries for renovation. Furniture in rooms is really old and beds, even though they are large, are not very comfortable. Poor quality of drinks used for cocktails, wine was good tho.

Really fantastic resort for families with kids of all ages. You can stroll between private beach, bar and swimming pool at your leisure. Staff during the day are super attentive, however perhaps were a little understaffed and under attentive on an evening with a lack of seating. Food at all times of the day was very very good for a buffet, with a fantastic variety. The location makes it such a relaxing and peaceful holiday if this is what you are looking for. However, if you like to sight see when you go on holiday, then you will need a car or to use taxi's. Rooms were perfectly fine for a family holiday, except for the mattresses - they were extremely thin, noisy, and not very comfy at all for adults.
