This was my third time staying at Melas Lara, and it still hasn’t disappointed me. The food was once again of excellent quality. The Street Food Festival was a great idea and created a fun and enjoyable atmosphere. The staff were, as always, incredibly friendly and welcoming to everyone. The room was clean, well-maintained, and in good order. The entertainment was also good, and the animation team did a decent job. The only downside was the hairdresser, which was really disappointing. My haircut turned out very poorly and I'm not happy with the result at all. I would definitely recommend going to a different hairdresser instead.
Another visit to our favourite hotel (6 years) Fantastic food, friendly staff from the waiting staff ,reception, cleaners and of course animation. Special mention this year to Selin and Busra who kept us entertained Melas is 'our second home.
Fantastic food, room clean and comfortable, view was beautiful, staff went above and beyond to help us, they were all friendly and welcoming. Would highly recommend
Fantastic hotel, food and rooms great. What made the holiday more memorable were the staff from cleaners, waiters/waitresses and especially the entertainment team, nothing to much trouble had fantastic time.
The hotel is small so good for people with mobility issues and/or smaller kids. We had a great room on the 10th floor with an amazing view from the balcony. They were able to accommodate 3 people in a room with a roll away bed. The air conditioner automatically shuts off though when the balcony door opens even for a minute. The staff was friendly but most did not speak English very well. Majority of the tourists were Germans so German was the primary language spoken. I loved the night entertainment. The shows were all professional and fun to watch. The food was very good if you are a meat and sweets lover. There wasn't a big variety of seafood at all. They had themed nights at the buffet, and my favorite was Turkish but they really need to get rid of Asian night. Everything was just terrible and not even close to Asian cuisine. Another thing that was very disappointing were the cocktails. I tried very basic cocktails, and they were all very poorly made. It would be nice to add mimosas during breakfast as well. My other complaint is the hotel not having a single converter available for guests! Bring your own if you are from the US! Overall, it's a good, basic hotel for families and older couples.
