Total relax with beautiful beach and great foods
The hotel is located right at the seaside, having its own sandy beach. Water is crystal clear, and there are always enough sunbeds and umbrellas available. Being a couple we really appreciated the separated little 18+ area on the beach, so that the running around children are not directly yelling next to us. The hotel also has one big pool, great for swimming, never too crowded. There is also a neighboor hotel that has a small water-park, and can be used for the guests staying in Melas Resort. The property is huge, it takes quite a while to explore everything. We have even found a new-to-us beach bar (where they serve kebabs) after 2 days! The restaurants are great, food variety and quality is excellent, I especially loved the snacks that are available from around lunchtime. The services are also good, and the hotel has plenty of staff to help you any time you need. They are really nice people, working hard to keep the hotel clean, foods tasty and guests satisfied all the time. Our room was also very good, facing partially to the sea - but this might be even better than the full sea view rooms, as it is quite cool during the afternoon (which might be a relief after the hot beach). It is hard to say any negative, even some minor ones, but probably for future improvement is around elevators - they are a bit slow and hot during the day (being a tall builidn, you will use elevators going up and down the beach and restaurants for sure). It might be also a nice touch to provide some small bags for the beach towels, so that guests would not need to carry their own there (this is done at some other hotels already).
We spent 5 days in this resort with my wife, and we both loved it!

The best stay in Side
I have been in many hotels in Antalya but this hotel has been the best so far. From the start, they welcome you warmly at the reception. Especially Dilara is very kind and she has a huge smile on her face all the time. Our room is on the 6th floor , room 1644 and has a garden view. We partly can see the sea as well, bonus! Mrs Ates has been making our room ready for us every single day with lovely decorations. Your towels are replaced, mini bar is topped up, tea and coffee are stocked up. You don’t need to chase after anything! Our room is in a quiet area, lovely! The food is delicious! It’s not repetitive. Fresh food, fruit, salads, pastries are served all day long. Cocktails are made with original spirits. There are everything that you think of, you name it -they make it😊 My son says he has the best milkshake here! The sea is the warmest part of the Mediterranean sea. Hotel has a private beach with both sand and shingles. Non stop food and drink service carried on at the beach as well. Aqua park is in the next door Melas holiday village. Short walk , not a problem. Last but not least the STAFF! They make our experience lovely. Every single one of them whom I came across was so kind, friendly and helpful. They are doing a great job and making this hotel different than others. I really hope that they are being treated well and fairly! Huge thanks to Yasin, Idris, Cemile, the guys at the beach bar, the waiter who served us at the fish restaurant! I am so regretful that I can’t get all of their names. But thank you so much! Highly recommended!

Nice stay at Hotel Melas
Hotel and all its surroundings are very clean, very looked after beach too. Nice and very spacious hotel room with very comfortable beds. Every night I had a good sleep. Restaurants a la carte style. Food is very good , everybody will find something they like to eat. Every night is different cuisine in main restaurant. I liked atmosphere in this hotel also because its very European guests and their very well behaved family members. Staff is very friendly, very hardworking even during days when temperatures reach over 40 degrees Celsius . You are being served in no time. My parents and me with my partner , we had fantastic holiday here. Highly recommend this hotel. Thank you Melas for great experience, thank you behind the scene hard working staff in the kitchen I loved the food and cakes , thank you for clean dishes, thank you all waiters and waitresses, thank you man on the beach who cleans sun beds and put the parasol up. Thank you lady who kept our room clean. Location wise, very convenient to anything you want to do, eat out , shopping, sightseeing , Turkish bath and also there is a bus stop outside of the hotel hop on and enjoy very cheap ride to Old Side Town. Honestly I don’t know the price we paid like 1€ per person.
