Melas Resort Hotel

Nice swimming

We were on a family vacation at the Melas Resort Hotel in Side. Hotel was very clean, food was excellent, staff were so friendly and the outdoor spaces were beautiful. We enjoyed very much. We will definetely come again and can warmly recommend the hotel.

We’ve just come back from our first stay at the Melas Resort Hotel and it did not disappoint. There were 5 of us - myself, husband and 12 year old son and my parents in their 70s. We arrived for a 10 night stay in August and reception staff were fantastic. Very helpful and could not do enough for us. My Dad’s case was left in the UK by the airline and the reception team were super helpful in calling the airport and getting updates for us. The rooms were brilliant. A very good size and plenty of room for clothes. We were on the 5th floor, the first one above the pool. The balcony was amazing and looked out over the beach. The buffet restaurant was great - we had lots of really nice food. Having been to Turkey resorts a number of times, you can sometimes get bored with the food. However, it’s not the case at the Melas. The food was varied and very nice. We also went to the Chinese Al a Carte restaurant which was fantastic. 6 courses of amazing food. The pool is good, great location. There are a number of loungers but they can get taken early. The slides at the sister hotel (Melas holiday village) are also great and worth going to. We ate at the beach bar most lunchtimes for a break. It’s waiter service and there is a separate menu which is also really good. Drinks at all the bars are second to none. Loads of options including international brands. The staff in the whole resort are just brilliant. Special mention to Melek Ekici and Fatama Ata who made us feel very special and looked after us at each restaurant. I would absolutely stay again at this hotel. Just one thing to note - there are a lot of stairs due to the location of the hotel. There is always a couple of flights to go up or down even with the lifts, which may not be ideal for anyone with mobility issues.

The stay was excellent and the staff was really friendly and polite. The entertainment team and especially Yunus were great! Everything was very clean and modern. The food was also super various and delicious. All in all, would definetely recommend.

My wife and i have stayed here about 5 times. Love the place. But ever since Thomas Cook UK went out of business, i can't seem to find a holiday company that includes this fine hotel. When i do find it , it shows no avaliablity . Any uk based people can help. Tell me who you use thanks. Tui doesn't include Melas. We want to come back. Great staff and hotel. Thanks for any help.

Just back from a week's holiday at Melas resort. Myself, my mum, 16 year old daughter and her friend. We had a lovely time and we were very impressed with the hotel and complex. My 60 year old mum unfortunately broke her ankle a week prior to our holiday and so she was hobbling around. The staff could not of been any more attentive and helpful to her. The rooms are spacious, modern, clean and well equipped. The food was to a very high standard infact one of the best all inclusive hotels we have stayed at. We particularly enjoyed visiting the ala carte beach bar at lunch time which had fantastic views of the beach and a great menu of pizza's, burgers, salads, pasta, chips etc. The entertainment was ok and the girls particularly enjoyed the pool parties over at the Melas holiday village. The on site aqua park was a little tame for teenagers I felt but we still all enjoyed a few short visits. The location of the hotel was excellent and it is possible to walk the whole promenade next to the beach into Side old town which is beautiful and well worth a visit. It is about 30 minutes walk. But you can also take a bus or taxi from the front of the hotel along the main roads for about 6 euro. As other people have mentioned in their reviews, the hotel is mainly German and has very little English visitors. This was not a problem at all, all the staff are very welcoming and actually love having English guests. The other guests were all polite and lovely and infact there are many different nationalities around the pool during the day. It did not alter our experience at all and actually we enjoyed this about the hotel. I'm sure over time more English people will choose to visit the Melas as it is a fabulous hotel and we would recommend it to anyone. Thank you for a lovely family holiday Melas.

I’m just sat in the pool bar in the evening enjoying my last day or so at this amazing hotel. Hotel is spotlessly clean, great food ! Staff are absolutely so friendly and helpful it is untrue nothing is too much trouble at all. If I can give any advise at all if you do venture out the hotel don’t bother bringing Turkish Lira, just bring Euros. Everything out side the hotel is priced in Euros they really do not want the lira at all. Over all as a family we have had a great time at this hotel.

We have just come back from a fabulous break at this hotel. Fantastic location, excellent foods and drink but our highest praise is for all the staff who were both professional but very welcoming and made our holiday a memorable one. However can we just give a mention for the entertainment team. I dont think we have ever come across a team so enthusiastic and full of fun, we loved it. Highly recommend this hotel and we would love to return.
