Meliton Hotel Reviews
" It was the worst holiday we have had.... "
Submitted By: Mrs B J Rate
It was the worst holiday we have had. Meliton hotel, if you can call it that, is small, basic and doesn’t cater for a/i hols.
Run by the owner and his wife. Mustn’t forget the mother. They were friendly but wouldn’t listen to complaints. I requested room with fridge, no fridge. Could have room with fridge 3 days later but would have to move rooms and pay 3 euros a day for it. 3 euros for a fan.
Food, or what there was of it, was mostly inedible. Breakfast was cornflakes, boiled eggs, fried ham for bacon. Some days you got scrambled egg or sausages, tea and coffee, orange juice.
Lunch was pasta and salad, burgers or meatballs, chips, peas and beans. Dinner was soup, bread, meat was very rare, chips again. Afters was grapes or melon. They always ran out of food. I’ve seen more variety in my local cafe.
Now the best or worst bit. The mother always sat in the dining room watching what people were getting to eat and how much they left. Helped herself to food. There were no covers on the food trays and were buzzing with flies.
No matter where you sat, they were all over you. Mother got up now and then to stir the food round the trays. Once, after sitting there, picking her nose, she took a cream cone from the table, that someone had left, and put it back on the tray. My advice, don’t go there. yuk.

" The first sight you see approaching... "
Submitted By: Mr D Lindsay
The first sight you see approaching the Meliton is the power plant nearby with its chimney stacks chugging out smoke. We arrived at 9.30pm no one on reception had to go looking for someone to book in.

Room basic but o.k. apart from the smell coming from the bathroom floor. Went outside to see the pool quite nice apart from the view when you look up pylons and power cables buzzing with electricity. The hotel we found was about a twenty five minute walk from any shops a long a dimly lit path.
<br><BR>
Evening meals was a choice between rice and pasta salads or some non descript meat covered in oil. As for entertainment through the week one night there was a karaoke and one Greek dancing night both were lack lustre and disappointing. Being all inclusive drinks were free until 11pm and not 11.01pm as I found out one night while I was still waiting to be served.
<br><BR>
Most people we met there couldn’t wait to leave and would hire cars or jump on buses just to get out for the day. If you are thinking of giving this place a try please don’t waste your hard earned cash as we did.

" Had seen a previous review by chance... "
Submitted By: Miss B A Horton
Had seen a previous review by chance on Tripadvisor just a couple of days before we were due to holiday at the Meliton but decided to keep an open mind.
Arrived in the early hrs of 28 august and what a shambles. Hotel porter on duty and after trying to register myself and partner and 18 and 19 year daughters was told that we only had one room booked - showed holiday booking form which noted we had a double and a twin room booked but to no avail so the first night was spent in an un-air conditioned room with 4 adults two of whom had to sleep on the floor.
The manager finally turned up at 7.30am and told us that my partner and me could have an outside room "that I put my mother in when she comes to visit" - he obviously does not think very much of his poor old mum - I would not keep my dog in it - needless to say we refused his kind offer and when the Medhotels rep finally appeared later in the day we demanded to be moved to another hotel.
One couple who we had met with had also been offered the outside room a couple of days previous to us and thought they had seen rats in it! They also declined the offer and slept on the sunbeds by the pool on their first night.
Unfortunately I cannot find anything constructive to say about this hotel but what I would say is if that you have booked be warned ... try to move hotels before you go. I think it has been the case of being greedy and overbooking by the hotel’s owner and if they can fob you off to settle with whatever they have to offer and they are allowed to get away with it, they will!!

The rooms were basic, shower was tiny and dirty. We dint get clean towels for two days. The hotel is in the middle of nowhere. Two busses came a day that’s when they turned up. Luckily me and my partner met a couple and their daughter which made the holiday better.
The food was horrible one evening it was fish covered in oil with potatoes and cauliflower that’s it. None of us liked it so that was it for us we had to go pay and eat out. Same thing all week, horrible food. We paid a/i but spent most of our well earned cash eating out.
One evening before the a/i bar closed I had 2 drinks on my table and went to the bar and was told I could not have another as I already had two. I was shocked. The manager and his wife were arrogant, all they seemed to care about was money not if you had a nice time.
My husband complained several times about the lack of choice of food. After that they did not speak to us, everybody there could not wait to go home and was deciding what they were going to eat when we got back. We were left hungry every day and went out to eat.
The only nice thing was the pool. oh yes my friend seen a snake in toilet and manager said it’s ok it will go by itself. I do not recommend this hotel.
