Meliton Hotel

The best thing about this hotel is the staff and hotel was nice for 3 star but the Food is awful and had to eat out, and the stench from the sewage through the drains wasn't very pleasant. Other than that I cant complain. I will mention again how bad the food was though. Process tinned food. Just not edible. There were 9 of us and we all couldn't eat it. I no everyone has different tastes but we weren't the only family not eating there. Such a shame. You will pay around 35euro to get to old town in a taxi as it's quite far out but only 15min walk to the beach. Had a lovely time in rhodes. Would 100% go again but not to this hotel unfortunately.

There are NO free towels for the pool. Room towels are not allowed to be used at the pool. The hotel own shop sells towels for 6 Euro each. Quite disappointed. Bring your own towels!

Lovely place, nice and clean, staff are nice and helpful when needed. The hotel is out of the way of things, but if you don't mind the walk it's fine and there are busses and plenty of places to rent bikes, cars or quads cheaply. The beaches on the West side of the island are all a mixture of rock and sand together, and the cafes at them are nice. The food at the hotel is a little similar, but is nice. All inclusive drinks ends at 2215, even soft drinks. Tea and coffee is only available 4 times a day at selective times. No snacks; only 1 plate of biscuits at coffee time, so if a few people take them all then it isn't refilled for the rest of us guests, so you better be quick. It is cheap, so we didn't feel overly hard done by when paying to eat out. Not nearly enough sunbeds for all guests and the 'no reserving with towels' rule was never adhered to or supported by hotel staff. 3 different nights of entertainment (Greek, movie and karaoke) which were okay. Overall, a good cheap holiday, but is good to be aware of the points above before expecting the world.

The hotel wasn't bad. We were welcomed at reception and shown to our room, which was 1st of all ok but small. Then was upgraded to a bigger room with bunk beds. The bunk beds needed to be made more safe if kids were to stay in the room, but other than that, it was another clothes storage space for us.
The shower leaked at the Base of the shower. No mains plug socket by the bed . Food was a huge issue at the Meliton with breakfast to start with very limited. The rotation of eggs for breakfast was pretty bad with fried eggs which was edible just and the boiled eggs with toast and beans was about all i had for breakfast over 10 days.
The scrambled eggs which were served on another day were just like wet stodge and the omelette was like a rubber doorstop, along with hotdogs from a jar, mixed with fried onion passed off as sausage wasn't appealing, with the bacon that looked like it could snap as soon as you put the fork on it. Food not covered from the flies which it should of as it was buffet style.
The staff for breakfast and lunch clearing up were fantastic, (Panos at the bar and Debbie taking empty plates or some not so empty plates. They worked very hard and were a pleasure to talk to and know thank you)
Wasted talent in a hotel that could do a lot better. Lunch was limited in my opinion as most of the options like fish and chicken, spaghetti bolognase, spaghetti carbonarra,was pretty tasteless like their potatoes.
On the few occasions chips were done for lunch, it was worth having with some of the salad.
Nice pool area, very peaceful. Pool table, table tennis table if you fancy a couple of games. The hotel is situated quite some distance from many of the off site amenities like the beach, and the decent restaurants, Rhodes town which is a 50 minute bus ride away,
The evening buffet meal was again lacking in choice and flavour (thank god for some restaurants with the help from friends we met and salad!)
The evening staff were quite miserable apart from young Michael behind the bar who was very friendly. The drinks were watered down, apart from the ouzo. Some of the hotel restaurants take on traditional Greek cuisine was appalling like the so called moussaka which had no substance to it.
The entertainment in the evenings like a Greek night was ok, karaoke that wasn't too bad. Film night on Sunday, mamma mia, you could forget it.
The hotel to sum up was nice hotel with clean rooms, but need a fair bit of work in certain places. A bit to far away from some very good restaurants and places to visit and see. The hotel restaurant itself needs a total menu overhaul and proper Greek and English food not to cater just for Europeans. It needs to be cooked fresh like the tavernas.
