Melas Resort Hotel

We loved all meals, and people who work at the resort restaurant even recognized us, the staff was super friendly and nice, and caring. We appreciated that. We also love the whole territory, nice and green. Although the water slides were way better before. Now they are in the middle of strong sun, no shadow, no shade, nothing. But in general we love Melas.

We were shocked in a bad way when the staff said to us we cannot get any Ayran at the Village buffet near the pool. Nothing like that happened last year. Sorry, but people are going around and having food and drinks at the pool bar in the resort and in the village, it is normal, it is same premises, same owner, money goes to the same place. Further, as I said above, a new location for the water slides is not good b/c it does not have any shadow, children being under a very strong sun all the time is not good at all.

The location is amazing, there is a private beach with soft sand and calm waters, just a few rocks here and there. The buffet is big and changes everyday. Rooms are spacious and well kept. It cools very fast as well, which is important on hot weather. A good variety of free cocktails and bevarages.

Elevators are always behind at least one step of stairs, which makes very hard for people carrying child trolleys around and making it impossible for disabled people. Staff mostly speaks english, but some only speak german. They have south american birds being paraded around for photos, most of those animals elseshere have their wings clipped to not fly, could be the case here. Doves were used for a magic show. Also we found three cockroaches on the first floor with one inside our room which we had to kill. Too many kids around and not enough chairs by the pool, we had to ask twice for extra chairs, as people reserve the chairs for the whole day by leaving their towel in the morning.

Nice staff, delicious food, comfy room. The whole resort is spacious, clean and convenient in every aspect.

As a foreigner, it is much easier to communicate in German than English.

I liked the facilities, food and beach area. Clean and organised

Reception not helpful...booked sea view and did not get one ...either my parents...other thing is that entertainment is so poor I mean really poor and boring...the other hotel next door was killing it so I highly recommend their neighbours. Also everyone speaks to you in German which found it a bit irritating specifically from staff.

Really nice pool facilities and the range of food available is next level.

Language - Having more English speaking staff (barman/reception) would help as it is a global language.

Staff sense of service.Cleanness.Variety of food.Safety.Beach.

AC in rooms is too strong and is indispensable so can't stop it.

The hotel was nice and clean with amazing pool and beach area The food at the restaurants was great but the staff throughout the hotel were friendly and helpful The room are spacious and nicely decorated

Very minor but for a 5 star hotel not to have a Iron in the room and had to pay to get anything ironed

Adbullah very polite and helpful, friendly!

for couples, you have to take into account that you sleep in separate beds because the two beds are pushed together and fall apart, this is a very big minus, there could still be one bed!

Everything perfect. Food at Buffet Restaurant was good and varied. Rooms were nice and beach well maintained. Nice little gym, enough chairs everywhere. Decent entertainment programm even in low season. Staff very friendly and helpfull.

Asian theme restaurant is imho really low quality. Please introduce an asian cheff because sadly non of the courses tasted like they should. Sushi very bad. Staff expects people to speak german what feels a bit off.

Food was excellent, plenty of choices with both fresh fruit and cooked options. The hot pre cooked food was sometimes Luke warm - so perhaps this needs attention. All four A'la Carte restaurants were very good, we especially enjoyed the Eastern and Western cuisines. All A'la Carte restaurants are charged at 5 Euro's per person, well worth trying. The hotel staff are very helpful and friendly especially the service staff at beach level restaurant. This really is a great hotel to visit, the amenities are excellent with a beautiful beach a stones throw away. We had room 1302 - fantastic sea view and everything needed to make us very comfortable.

This hotel should introduce no smoking outside areas. Obviously no smoking is implemented inside, but if you are a non smoker you will be disappointed that there are no smoking sections outside. So if you are sunbathing around the pool bar, eating outside at one of the restaurants or watching entertainment you will be effected by smokers. This was the most disappointing issue for us, you just cannot get away from it. The hotel should and could easily allocate an area for non smokers in all outside areas.The WiFi was a little disappointing, struggled at times to receive signal in both our room and on the beach. Needs some boosters!

Beautiful nice clean and quite

Hotel and employees was nice. We paid for sea view and got better room who was more expensive for free and have own jakuzzi and terrace.Pool is good, food was delicately, drinks too, rooms great.

Uncomfortable beds.The sea was dirty, you couldn't even see your feet.If u dont speak deutch is problem 99% guest are germans.

It was generally a great vacation. The property is clean, well maintained, rooms are spacious. We loved the food and most of the service. Some people mention beach walk and beach rocks as an issue, there were not big problems for our family.

First of all, Wi-fi does not work well, if you plan to check on your work during your stay, it is close to impossible. Other areas for improvements are Spa, disco, i hate to say it but some of the servers attitude needs improvement…

The food was very good and varied, themed evenings with many variations. Very good selection of drinks, practically everything you need - including spirits, cocktails and very good wines. The staff was very pleasant and helpful. Clean room just like in pictures, with daily cleaning service, beach towels changed daily. Large sandy beach, clean, smooth entry into the sea, enough sun loungers. In the evening you can walk on the seafront of Side that passes through the resort.

The variety of food and the extended meal time.

far from Antalya. 1 hour drive. cost about £45

The resort has comprehensive facilities which you can use them. It has long walk beside the beach as well. The all inclusive option give you the real feeling of relaxation.

The food was diverse, but it was not up to a high level of quality and deliciousness. The majority of the hotel guests were German, and the staff give them more attention and service, which make other guests feel like they are not welcome

rooms were good size

staff were giving priority to german customers to any other national and it was felt by all the other non german customers,

Great hotel, everything is very comfortable. The rooms are clean and bright, very cozy. A variety of dishes in the restaurant for every taste. Very polite and smiling hotel staff.

Thank you to Ms. Hande, Ms. Zúlfiye, from the Dear Melas Hotel Family.

Location was great, nice walk to beautiful Side, perfect beach, great evening programs. Fantastic meals, plenty to choose from. Spacious room, had a sea view, worth the extra.
