Porto Carras Meliton Hotel

First of all, this property doesn’t meat true 5 star standards. Whoever did their photos - congratulations!! They don’t lie but are polished to make you believe hotel is new and luxurious. Hotel is huge, with almost 500 rooms but only 3 elevators. During peak season using elevator is game of patience. We walked most of the times. The most important thing you should know, and we didn’t, is that if you book any suite - you have access to separate restaurant and beach (attached photo). Otherwise you are forced to use the main restaurant where you can have hundreds of people at same time. You will wait in line to enter and to get the food. We Visited in July and went for breakfast around 8-8:15 when there’s much less people and skipped the dinner. There’s plenty of food choice (cudos for that) but not many healthy options - not a 5* level. Rooms have nice views no matter which side you chose, though the pool side has sunset which is incredible! Beds are huge and comfortable, that we really enjoyed. Our bathtub had serious leak that couldnt be fixed (hotel sent plumber immediately but the only thing to make it better was to use plenty of towels). There’s something wrong with their AC sistem as the coridors had horrible odor all the time. The good sides - the nature is beautiful, so much green, and natural shadow on the beach. Water is great, pool is huge and well maintained. Reception and concierge service is friendly and ready to help. Marina is old but charming. This is old giant hotel which must have been a miracle at its prime time. The value for money is ok, but if you are coming you must be prepared that it is not a 5 star hotel because 5* is not about facilities you have on paper but also its quality, service, hospitality and overall feeling that your holiday means no stress. The only thing worth of coming for is golf course and padel/tennis courts. Avoid the stables though.

The hotel is beautifully maintained, with spotless rooms and impeccably clean facilities. The staff were exceptionally kind, professional, and always willing to help. The facilities are outstanding, but the true highlight is the hotel’s breathtaking location. Set in a stunning natural landscape with a crystal-clear, beautiful beach just steps away, it offers the perfect setting for a relaxing and unforgettable holiday. We highly recommend it and look forward to returning.

I booked this vacation after having stayed for a conference last September. Turns out that it was one of the best vacation we had as a family so far. The beach is one of the best you will find in Greece. the hotel is great, it's very beautiful and especially clean. The suites have their own reserved area with big sunbeds. The suites also have their own restaurant for breakfast and dinner, so we were lucky to enjoy this food quietly and easily. The marina is a must visit, many bars and restaurants to choose from. We had our bikes with us and had nice rides inside the resort.

We chose Porto Carras because this year, it was more suitable for us to go to a resort since everything is close - pools, restaurant, the beach. It's really great for families with kids and pregnant women. If you are looking for a silent vacation, this might be slightly annoying for you-there is always someone crying or screaming. Service is great, staff is really friendly, always at your service. Rooms are cleaned daily, sheets and towels changed. The food is amazing, no mistake wherever you eat. Breakfast was also very good, a variety of options. Gluten free bread is available upon request but the choice isn't wide if you are gluten and lactose intolerant. The pools, beach, landscape is very well maintained. The only issues we had were with the people who don't obey the hotel rule to not put towels on the sunbeds and then go away-not being back for an hour or two-the beach is almost always full "of towels". The second thing is that it's a pretty big hotel with just three elevators and the wait is a bit longer to get to your room. Overall, we would book it again, it was a beautiful new experience. Also, I have to say that the food and the staff at the nearest restaurant of italian food called Tucan are A M A Z I N G so you should definitely check it out!

Overall, had a good stay at a hotel that is huge and needs to have extremely high levels whilst serving 1000+ people, which is no easy task. Most of the staff are quick to respond, and all are friendly. There were a couple of occasions, where housekeeping entered the room at 08:30, which was less than desired, however. There is a private beach, which holds the Blue Flag high quality status. You can easily spend a few days there, it's wonderful! Overall cleanliness and room quality was good. I wouldn't say 5 star, but still nice. Depending on where you room is, the views can be incredible! The food can be improved in all honesty. The selections were not as good as other hotels of a similar nature and some fresher seafood options would have been nice to have.
