We stayed at Melissi Beach Hotel from September 20th to 4th October. It was our second visit to this hotel. We had a very smooth checkin at the reception with very friendly staff. It is situated next to the beach which was a bonus, the pool area in our opinion was too hot and we prefer the beach and the sea, particularly in the afternoons when an on shore breeze was very welcome, plus the sea was actually warmer than the pool. There were a lot of positives about the hotel which I’ll mention first. Our room was very spacious and clean, with linen changes very regular. Air con was easy to operate and we had a balcony where we could hang wet swimwear etc. the bathroom needed some attention but it was okay. The restaurant was nice with either a choice of sitting inside or outside, even the most fussy eater wouldn’t have gone hungry, however, the hot food could have been warmer it was only luke warm most of the time. It’s worth a mention about the other restaurants that we visited as part of our all inclusive package, the Italian was okay, one member of staff was very surly, but the others were very nice. An absolute must is the Greek restaurant it was by far the best meal we had all holiday, book it early! We didn’t use the gym but it looked fine by what we could see and there were plenty other guests using it. Same with the spa. All the staff at the hotel were very polite and courteous, we really couldn’t fault them at all, we’d like to give special thanks to Panayiota and Eudokia. They both worked in the restaurant and bars. It was our second visit to this hotel, but it was looking a little shabby compared to when we visited it 5 years ago. We thought the fact that you could only change your pool towels was very limited, between 9 am and 11am, perhaps extending the hours or adding an additional time in the afternoon would have been more suitable. We also thought that lunch was served quite late started at 1pm. There is an adult only pool but unfortunately children were playing it, without being checked by the hotel staff, I think this should have been addressed. All in all we had a lovely holiday, but undecided whether we will return to this hotel again, we will have to give it some thought.
