The hotel offers a lovely getaway with beautiful gardens and a relaxing beach environment. The staff was generally helpful, but there were moments of inconsistency in service, particularly in communication with a few team members. The food quality was good, though the bathroom facilities need improvement. Overall, it provides good value for a short, restful escape, but some areas might require attention.

Had a wonderful time at the hotel, where the ambiance was family-friendly and the atmosphere was relaxed. The staff truly made my experience enjoyable with their attentiveness. The dining was diverse, but some meals felt repetitive over our two-week stay. Additionally, while the beach was mostly nice, we encountered a bit of plastic debris on some days. Overall, it's a great choice for a family getaway, with strong points in service and facilities.

Grecotel Meli Palace offers a fantastic all-inclusive experience with friendly staff, delicious food, and engaging evening entertainment. The serene location by the beach and well-designed family amenities make it an ideal choice for families. However, the Wi-Fi connection could be better in the rooms, and the decor in some areas seemed a bit dated. Overall, it is a great value for a relaxing holiday.

We had an incredible experience at the Grecotel Meli Palace. The family-friendly atmosphere was perfect for our kids, and we loved the engaging activities for them. The food was fresh and varied, making each meal a pleasure. However, the evening bar service could be improved as there was a queue at times, and we would have preferred fresh water bottles instead of refilling from a filtered source.
