" We stayed here for two weeks and had... "
Submitted By: elmamac
We stayed here for two weeks and had a fabulous holiday. The hotel is very small, and quite far out of Tholos (twenty mins. walk). But it is well worth it.
The staff couldn't be more helpful, Dimitri the owner was very obliging and always willing to give any assistance needed. He runs a mini bus to the beach every morning and picks you up again for lunch.
There is very little entertainment but this is fine if you want a nice relaxing holiday.
Hotel is spotlessly clean, fresh towels every day if needed. The food was great, there was not a big choice with such small numbers. However there was never a day we couldn't eat well. Because it was freshly made it was just like home cooking, the best hotel food we have had.
The pool is small but perfectly adequate for the amount of folk there. It was kept very clean, some of the sunbeds were a bit the worse for wear but I am sure this will be seen to.
Tholos itself is very quiet with just a few bars, restaurants and supermarkets, but you could get all you needed even Irn Bru. I would recommend Mike's for delicious food.
There is a good bus service into Rhodes town and at 10 o'clock every day except Sunday the service bus comes to the hotel door. It takes about 40 mins in the bus but is well worth a visit.

We have stayed at this beautiful place on five occasions...what a wonderful relaxing holiday..Dimitri and Katerina have become like family to us and nothing is too much trouble..Rooms are spotless and food is the best.
We have stayed in other places on the island but nothing beats the friendliness of this place. And the pool with spa area is fantastic.
Take no notice of the other remarks on this page , the place is for a relaxing restful holiday....throw your watch away and forget everything..Drinks are available all day and the free loungers are a bonus..Could go on and on and on .....

" Just returned for a week all... "
Submitted By: Mr Martin & Veronica
Just returned for a week all inclusive at the Meliton Hotel which was great.
The owners, Dimitri and Katerina were the most lovely, friendly, helpful people you could hope to meet and could not do enough for you. They looked after everyone and made sure everyone was enjoying themselves.
The hotel is clean and fresh. The pool and surroundings are lovely. The pool has a little hydro pool (jacuzzi type thing). The cleaners come round every day and are very nice and friendly too. The rooms have a TV and air conditioning (which you need to pay for but is totally worth it).
The all inclusive was great value for money. It is just your typical buffet style breakfast, lunch and dinner. Breakfast was served from 7.30 til 10.00, lunch was served from 12.30 til 2.30 and dinner was from 7.00 til 9.00. There was also tea and cakes at 4.30 til 5.30. The food served was all cooked fresh and was good quality (although a bit healthy for my liking!). The all inclusive drinks were at the bar from 11.00 til 11.00 and included all local spirits, beer, wine and soft drinks.
The hotel also has entertainment at night, like greek dancing and karaoke. It has a ping pong table, pool table, tennis court and big TV, so there is no chance of being bored.
It is about a 10 minute walk to the resort of Tholos (or a few euros in a taxi) but if you don't like walking there is no need to leave the hotel anyway as everything you need is there. The owner, Dimitri, drove anyone wanting to go to the beach or resort a free lift three times a day.
The resort of Tholos is quite quiet, which is what we were looking for. The beach is a pebble beach.
We went for a boat trip to Lindos which was fab and a great day out. We didn't have a rep so we took a taxi to the harbour and there are stalls selling boat trips for the day, you need to get there before 9am.
All in all, the hotel and resort is great value for money and perfect for a relaxing holiday.

" Our first holiday as a couple, we... "
Submitted By: Mr S French
Our first holiday as a couple, we read the reviews after booking and thought we were in for the holiday from hell
We arrived just before midnight to be met by the friendly night porter. We had a couple of drinks at the bar and then headed for an early night.
The hotel was clean, the pool was great, the staff were friendly and the food was nice.
There are daily buses into Rhodes centre, the hotel owner runs a shuttle bus to and from the beach and the car hire is pretty cheap to (35euro for the day)
We had a great time, met some great people (Burt, Bob The Builder and the Jew)
Would def recoment this hotel for a cheap, relaxing break

Submitted By: Ms M CONDACOS
Stayed at the Meliton Hotel June 2008. From the moment we arrived the manager was so helpful as were all the staff. It is a family run hotel and so friendly. Great greek food and rooms cleaned daily. Met some great people and will definately be back. Hired a motorbike and explored the Island, highly reccomended.
The hotel provides a mini bus to take you to the nearby beach, although we never visited the beach, other guests were pleased with it. The hotel pool is immaculate as are the grounds.
This is an ideal hotel for couples of all ages.

" Our experience of Hotel Meliton was... "
Submitted By: Mrs M Foster
Our experience of Hotel Meliton was nothing but commendable. The staff were very friendly and made us feel welcome at ALL times. The room was slightly basic but was clean, fresh and met all our needs. Our balcony gave us a lovely view over the landscape with the sea in the distance. PERFECT.
Some reviews have mentioned the power cables which were obvious to see but for us in NO WAY spoilt out holiday or our view. In fact they were soon to blend in with the overall beauty of our surroundings so in fact became almost 'invisible'. As for 'buzzing electricity'???? maybe a slight humming could be heard if you were in the still of the night with no other noises around, but really was NOT LOUD at all!
If you want a totally relaxing, chilled out holiday then Hotel Meliton is the place to go. Being a small family run business it is a very friendly place to 'chill out'. The food for us was very varied and we had no complaints. The bar times were very reasonable and once closed it was nice to know that you could get a good nights sleep with no fear of extended noisy drinking hours!
The swimming pool was lovely and kept CLEAN AT ALL TIMES, also the surrounding grounds of the hotel were kept spotless at all times.
The beach was about ten minutes walk away, but if you wanted a lift there was a service provided EVERY day to and from the beach by the owners themselves. Again adding that little extra touch to the friendliness of the lovely family who run this hotel. We found the beach to be CLEAN,SPACIOUS and certainly NOT OVER CROWDED by any means. The only thing to be aware of is the rather large pebbles which were leading down into the sea, however there were covered under the sea walk outs at intervals which were very helpful in avoiding having to walk over the un-even pebbles/stones.
There were regular buses to the main towns. but the local area had many shops, bars and restaurants etc. all of whom seemed very friendly and helpful.
This was mine and my partners first holiday away together so we wanted something special.... of which we found... We both have nothing but PRAISE for the family who run this hotel and all that goes with it. They made our stay a very HAPPY and MEMORABLE one. We shall certainly look forward to our return visit.

" This place has had its fair share of... "
Submitted By: Mr Y Seabrook
This place has had its fair share of bad reviews but I went away with my girlfriend who has never been abroad in her life before and we loved it.
Cleanliness - 10
Food - 9
The 9 being because after the first week it got repetitive but I love pasta and was willing to try new things.
Staff - 9
Although the manager was sometimes strict on bar times for all inclusive when he was there at that time, the staff in general were really helpful, polite and committed to their jobs.
Pool- 10
The pool was awesome and always in summer quite warm. Chlorine used to clean it every night.
Location - 10
We didn't even have a car and still I enjoyed being where it was, so called 'middle of nowhere'. We used bicycles to get to the valley of butterflies which was quality, we used cheap bus to get to Rhodes and even Faliraki and Lindos. It was really relaxing and peaceful around the hotel rather than more popular resorts which would annoy me with noise and traffic etc.
Beach - 4
A generous 4 really because I hate how the sand there was like stones but the sea was still great. However I never went to the local beach because the beaches in Faliraki and Rhodes are much better, more like a 7. Lindos is the best by far which has to be 10. It is even hotter their longer.
Local bars were not as far as people made out, even people their made out the driveway was too long to walk down. Really you should know before you go if you would like it by reading this review, anyone lazy and wanting everything and I mean everything within a 1 minute walk away won't like the place. Anyone who is already used to a mile walk or likes to drive and explore new places should absolutely love it.
There are plenty of other attractions on the island. just do your research and find out where you need to be for your kind of thing. One more thing for anyone who likes clubbing, Faliraki is really good, great music and clubs with all types of latest music. Try to find the best ones one would be 'liquid club'. All the bars are very good too and cheap especially in a group.
Me and my girlfriend met a lot of good people at this hotel and had some great times, the night entertainment wasn't always existent but when it was the people there made it fun. the karaoke night was the best times.
I have probably missed a lot out but its better that way, their were negatives but the positives out weighed them massively and I just compare my holiday especially a bargain price holiday to my time back in crappy England not to the Caribbean, therefore my thoughts are grounded and not ridiculously picky. hope you enjoy it there if you go, I'm sure you will.

" We stayed at this hotel and found it... "
Submitted By: Mrs J Saunders
We stayed at this hotel and found it to be very clean. The staff were friendly and helpful but they would not give you any drinks of any kind unless you took back your glasses back first.
The manager was always watching what you ate or drank and if you were to have too much he would tell you that you could not have any more. He was very rude to a lot of the guests and my son was very frightened as he was quite violent if complaints were made about any thing. The food was very poor, you had no choice and there was only the basics. You had three meals a day nothing in between unlike every other inclusive i have stayed on. There is no air-conditioning unless you paid for it first. The entertainment was one Greek night and a karaoke night and that's it. You are right next to a power plant and pylons over the complex which we were never told about. There was no bus service from the hotel you had to walk a long way to get a bus into the town.
I would not advise any one to go there.

" Well first of all do not believe all... "
Submitted By: Mr J Chamberlain
Well first of all do not believe all the bad reviews. This is a great hotel.
We arrived at 0630 and were met by the night porter (24 hr service), who took us to our room. (We left in the early hours too, again, the porter was there throughout and to wave us off).
We are a family of 2 adults, 2 children (9F, 11M). Admittedly the food if not geared solely to children, but we had no complaints; we believe that what is on offer, the kids will eat. The food was lovely, evening dinner was typical Greek salads every night, soup, with a choice of 2 or 3 main dishes; meat and fish, potatoes, pasta, rice, and veg, plus fruit, or cake for pudding. Breakfast was a choice (or you could have it all) of Greek yoghurt, cereals, fresh fruit salad, scrambled eggs, beans, bacon, sausage, cheese, and ham. Lunch was salads, fish or chicken, sometimes chips, chicken nuggets, fish fingers, pasta, vegetables; a very good choice for lunchtime meal. Afternoon snacks were cake and biscuits.
All inclusive included local drinks 11am to 11pm, which also included the local cocktail of the day between 9pm and 10pm. Tea, coffee, juices and wine etc were also available all day.
The swimming pool was lovely, and very big for the size of the hotel (I think 40 rooms) and very clean. (The rooms were also very clean and sheets and towels changed daily). There is a table tennis table and darts free. A pool table you have to pay for, as you do the 2 video game machines. You may also have to pay for the air con at 5 euros a day (not a lot - £3).
But, if you are not a greedy person you will love this place. There were complaints from people, that they could not order loads of drinks just prior to 11pm, but why would u complain?
Dimitrious, the manager, was lovely; as were all the staff, throughout the holiday. He was always accommodating to requests.
There was entertainment of Greek dancing on one night, karaoke on another, large screen football three nights and dj music every night from 7 pm till late. Although not fantastic entertainment, it was enough, and not 'in your face'. We met with some really lovely people during our holiday and spent our evenings chatting and socialising and made some good friends.
You can catch a bus from outside the front door of the hotel 3 times a day or in the nearby village of Tholos (10 minutes walk) once an hour into Rhodes for about £2 each way for an adult, takes about half an hour. Rhodes Old Town was beautiful. The village has shops and bars too, so there is plenty to do should you wish to do it.
(As for the pylons; yes they are there; but they sound just like crickets and you only see them if you are looking for them; you won't notice them unless you are trying to pick faults!)
We would love to go back to this hotel; it was perfect for what we wanted. Thank you Meliton for a lovely holiday!

" Everything about this hotel is sh*t.... "
Submitted By: Mr G Jesson
Everything about this hotel is sh*t. It's in the middle of nowhere so i had to rent transport which added another £150 onto my holiday.
The food was disgusting so i had to eat out which added another £150. The drinks were also crap so that added more money. I couldn't tell what kind of meat i was eating probably donkey or something because i've never tasted anything like it before. The salad was covered in greasy oil then again so was everything else. I caught the manager rinsing dirty cups under the taps and not washing them properly.
The knife and forks were dirty. My mate had something like toilet roll floating in his drink. The beer was watered down; the lemonade was bitter and the spirits were like antifreeze.
The manager was arrogant and unhelpful he kicked me out of my room at 12 midday so i had no where to go till 5 in the morning when i went to the airport. I had to pay for my air conditioning. All he thinks about is money and he looks like Eric Pollard off Emmerdale. Tight arse ****. I reckon he deliberately spoilt the food so i would eat elsewhere and wouldn't be drinking his beer. DO NOT GO TO THIS HOTEL EVER!!!

" Well what can i say me and my partner... "
Submitted By: Miss H WRIGHT
Well what can i say me and my partner totally agree with the reviews on the hotel, it was absolutely awful.
We booked last minute with what was meant to be all inclusive which was a waste of time. We had to eat out most nights because the food was terrible. It was covered in oily stuff which made it taste crap. The meat looked inedible, there were no puddings of any kind, no ice-cream and the drinks were well watered down. We ordered vodka and lemonade and trust me the vodka tasted like antifreeze. I didn't drink all the time i was there.
The rooms were like something out of the 60`s. They didn't wash our bedding once and you had to pay for air con how crap. The entertainment was crap too, what they had of it. Most of the week they just had a large tv on.
The staff were also unhelpful and miserable, and didn't seem to know anything when we asked them things. Another bad thing is that you have to check out of your rooms for 12 which we didn't know which is crap since our flight weren't until early hours of the next morning,
The only nice person there was this little guy who sits in reception at night, he was really friendly.
Put it this way the place was sh*t, its miles from anywhere and we ended up going out most evenings which cost us money we couldn't afford. You want to stay well away from this place if you want a good holiday I`d rate this place 0 not 1 DO NOT GO!!!!!

Submitted By: Miss CM REES
Holidays are what you make them. You turn up to a hotel in the middle of nowhere at 3am to be told we'd have to sleep on a sofa as there were people in our room.
After speaking to the manager who promptly put the phone down, him and his family are extremely arrogant and don't really care about anything.
5am we got a room, no air conditioning had to pay 5euros per day what a joke. Room basic.
Food please don't get me started. For an all inclusive holiday we ate out every day.
Lucky the pool is lovely, beach beautiful and we hired a car and drove around Rhodes which is a gorgeous island.
As the week went on different people got different treatment, this included prices of things.
Overall for 18years in the hotel business this complex is a joke. Thank god for good company and remembering my drivers licence.

" It’s a shame that sites like this... "
Submitted By: Mr K Bradbury
It’s a shame that sites like this only seem to get people slagging places off rather than the people who enjoyed their stay.
We have just returned from a week all inclusive at this lovely spotlessly clean small hotel. Obviously when booking a hotel it depends on what you want, and if you want Blackpool don’t book here.
The Hotel is small, and 1.5K away from the beach and about the same from the handful of shops and restaurants in the village, so if you don’t like walking, and don’t intend to hire a car, but want to get out of the hotel then this probably isn’t for you.
The Family who run the hotel and the staff are very friendly (But not in your face), and will do pretty much whatever you ask them to.
There was only 15 guests in the hotel the week we went, and it was like having the place to ourselves (Just what we wanted).
The food was good to say that there were so few guests, and as usual it was a buffet style all inclusive menu for each meal there was at least two or three different dishes (not including the cold and salad dishes).
Breakfast was a bit poor, but then it is most places we go. To be honest we have travelled all over and all inclusive in Europe is pretty much the same wherever you go, it’s not a patch on the Caribbean.
There was not much in the way of entertainment, but some people can manage to make their own entertainment through meeting others - it’s called talking!
If you want a quiet hotel to just doss about for a week this is ideal, or if you want a lovely hotel, and want to use it as a base to explore the island then I am sure you will love your stay here.
This hotel is just what I would want from the Greek Islands if you want Blackpool with your full English Breakfast, then go to Blackpool, and leave places like this unspoilt for the people who will appreciate them.

" Worst vacation ever!
We... "
Worst vacation ever!
We arrived at Meliton "smelliton" Hotel at 24.00 pm. The bus-trip from the airport to the hotel wasn't very far but little did we know how far this godforsaken hotel was from the beach or the city. Due to arriving at night, we couldn't see what we had arrived to or what was around us. At night time we saw the pool and thought that it might be a nice place - little did we know!
In the morning we were shocked to see all the junk around the hotel. Wires, industrial cables, smoke, old cars and tires dumped off on the property. We tried to get out of the hotel but the nearest bus station was 10 minutes away and the bus wasn't due for another 2 hours.
Taxi refused to come and pick us up because the hotel was too far away from the city. It took us 45 minutes with bus to get to a beach!
We asked the hotel owner where the nearest beach was - he told us it was a five minute walk from the hotel. It was a 20 minute walk and when we arrived to the beach it was covered with old car parts and other junk.
The food was so bad we had to eat out every day. The little shop the owner told us about was a little room in the back of the reception and had nothing for sale - not ever water or ice-cream.
The room was ok.
My advice is and I'm not being cruel or disrespectful to the owner of Hotel Meliton but - please do not ever go there.
We spent lots of money and had the worst time ever. We were so badly disappointed we couldn't wait to get out of there.

The owner of the hotel has been painted in a very bad light in some reports, I must say that we found him and his wife very friendly as is all the staff at this hotel.A lot has also been written about the cleanliness, we found this one of the cleanest hotels that we have stayed in.The area around the pool is cleaned every morning and the sun beds are not only hosed down they are actually wiped down.The rooms are basic but are exceptionally clean.I would reccomend you to take some coathangers as there seems to be a shortage.
If there is a down side to this hotel it is the location, a little bit off the beaten track, but for anyone wanting a decent priced, all inclusive, laid back holiday this is the place.
We would have no problems in returning to or reccomending this hotel to anyone.
