Porto Carras Hotel Meliton

Dijana Culic

Considering that our vacation cost almost €3000 at this hotel with breakfast and dinner included, we expected a bit more. The staff is extremely unfriendly. We paid extra for a Junior Suite but received a standard room, just like the family who traveled with us and paid €800. As for the food, it’s okay. We’ve stayed in much less "prestigious" hotels that have much better food. The rooms are not clean, and I don’t even want to talk about the hygiene in the hallways and the smell in the hotel. The chefs are bad, regardless of whether you eat at the hotel restaurant or on the beach. For example, when we went to Nikiti, which is nearby, the food was excellent, while at the hotel it was simply poorly prepared. At the entrance to the "Resort," there is a barrier that doesn’t allow everyone to enter, which is understandable, but there were times when we arrived by car and had to wait up to 10 minutes for someone to open the barrier, which we honestly didn’t like. I should add that the prices on the beach are outrageously expensive. What we really liked was the pool, which is very large and clean, and the hotel has plenty of parking spaces, but that’s all we were impressed with. Next year, we definitely won't be staying at this hotel again. Unfortunately, considering the price we paid, the hotel gets two stars.

We are currently staying at Hotel Meliton Porto Carras with my family for a holiday. Overall, the experience has been pleasant, though there are some notable drawbacks. The hotel itself is nice. The rooms are renovated and comfortable, although the bathrooms could use some updating. The area around the hotel is spacious, and the beach is lovely, but with small stones adding to its charm. However, our mornings are stressful due to the beach situation. To secure sunbeds, you need to stay with them; otherwise, your towels will be removed after 20-30 minutes if you leave. This forces us to have breakfast in shifts, which is inconvenient and definitely not pleasant. Additionally, there is no working bar on the beach to order and buy coffee before 10:00aAM. The only options are to order coffee in plastic cups from room service at 6 euros each or to have it in the restaurant. This morning, I tried to take a cup of coffee with me from the restaurant and was not allowed. The feeling was awful, like being treated as a thief, despite paying for a 5-star hotel. Given these issues, I would recommend finding another place for your family vacation. Despite the enjoyable atmosphere and facilities, the morning stress and coffee situation significantly detract from the overall experience.

From the moment we booked this resort we waited endlessly for it with anticipation and as they say the greater the expectation the greater the disappointment When we arrived at the hotel entrance, there was no one to direct us at the entrance, we had to turn around and look for parking and carry our luggage from the far parking lot to the entrance When we got to the reception, we checked in, got the key and started looking for the room. I mean, no one came with us or showed us or explained to us. It should be noted that there are dozens of rooms on each floor and it is very difficult to find your way around We entered the room, turned on the air conditioner and the air conditioner did not work. We called reception, explained the problem, after a while a technician came and said that he had fixed the air conditioner and that we would wait an hour and everything would be fine. After two hours the room was still at 30 degrees Celsius, we were sweating in the room and it was impossible to sit there We called the reception again, they said they would give us an answer, but after half an hour that no one contacted us, we went down to the reception We waited at the reception for over 40 minutes and in the end they brought us another room where the air conditioner didn't work either. In 5 hours, they changed us three rooms, in all of which the air conditioner did not work, and in the end it turned out that there is an air conditioner problem in most of the hotel rooms, which has been a problem for a week and will be taken care of in just a few more days. Something that we or the other guests were not informed about! After insisting we got the money back and found ourselves at 7pm having to move between hotels to find a place to sleep. It should be noted that the rooms in the hotel are very old, the smell in the room and in the corridor stinks and that everything is very expensive for no reason. The price of a glass of coke cost us 5 euros! Finally, there is no reason to pay such a price for this hotel that made us spend all the day long moving from room to room when they knew that there is a problem with the ac.

Had a wonderful holiday with the family here. We had beautiful rooms overlooking the Marina which are gorgeous and also look out to the sea. The hotel setting is spectacular. The resort is remote from everything so it is good that it is a resort with everything self contained. All staff were very helpful and friendly and spoke English very well. Theodorus was one of the many very helpful waiters. The reception staff and the cleaning staff were all excellent. The hotel was very clean and tidy. The pools, beach - all great! Highly recommended.

We stayed in the hotel for 11 nights. Based on our previous experience the hotel does not fully justify 5 stars. We had an initial inconvenience with the security girl who didn't want to let us into the complex because she wasn't in the mood for conversation?! And she is very rude. At the very start, we had an extra bed in the family room with a wire core, which was very uncomfortable and noisy. This is unacceptable for a 5-star hotel. With a complaint, we got a new one. Clean sheets every day. Drinks in Bars on the beach are too expensive. You will have to pay €6.5 for coffee or a beer. The hotel has a large and spacious beach with sunbeds. Each room has a fridge but no kettle or coffee maker. At one moment we even had ants in the room. But they successfully solved it. As for conpliment , the staff in the restaurant is extremely friendly. Especially the guy Konstantinos. Always with a smile despite all-day shifts. Always at your service, pleasant and excellent knowledge of the English language. There is also a bowling alley in the hotel, and a wonderful girl Iriny and every compliment for her. The overall impression is that a large number of employees in the presence of guests speak internally in Greek without paying attention to the guests. Which can be very uncomfortable. The overall impression is that we will be looking for a new complex for our family for the next vacation.
