Food was excellent, plenty of choices with both fresh fruit and cooked options. The hot pre cooked food was sometimes Luke warm - so perhaps this needs attention. All four A'la Carte restaurants were very good, we especially enjoyed the Eastern and Western cuisines. All A'la Carte restaurants are charged at 5 Euro's per person, well worth trying. The hotel staff are very helpful and friendly especially the service staff at beach level restaurant. This really is a great hotel to visit, the amenities are excellent with a beautiful beach a stones throw away. We had room 1302 - fantastic sea view and everything needed to make us very comfortable.

This hotel should introduce no smoking outside areas. Obviously no smoking is implemented inside, but if you are a non smoker you will be disappointed that there are no smoking sections outside. So if you are sunbathing around the pool bar, eating outside at one of the restaurants or watching entertainment you will be effected by smokers. This was the most disappointing issue for us, you just cannot get away from it. The hotel should and could easily allocate an area for non smokers in all outside areas. The WiFi was a little disappointing, struggled at times to receive signal in both our room and on the beach. Needs some boosters!

Everything perfect. Food at Buffet Restaurant was good and varied. Rooms were nice and beach well maintained. Nice little gym, enough chairs everywhere. Decent entertainment programm even in low season. Staff very friendly and helpfull.

Asian theme restaurant is imho really low quality. Please introduce an asian cheff because sadly non of the courses tasted like they should. Sushi very bad. Staff expects people to speak german what feels a bit off.

It was generally a great vacation. The property is clean, well maintained, rooms are spacious. We loved the food and most of the service. Some people mention beach walk and beach rocks as an issue, there were not big problems for our family.

First of all, Wi-fi does not work well, if you plan to check on your work during your stay, it is close to impossible. Other areas for improvements are Spa, disco, i hate to say it but some of the servers attitude needs improvement…

The property was absolutely perfect and the location was also ideal. The staff were also brilliant, they really went out of their way to help, they were also genuinely happy to help which is a big bonus for us. The staff at the reception were very friendly and helpful, they made everything stress free, they always tried their best to help. I have been to Turkey over 10 times and I can honestly say that this hotel, staff and the management team are one of the best I’ve come across. I would definitely come back and stay here. thank you for making our stay very pleasant to all the staff and the management team at Melas resort. I hope you guys remember us (Me, wife and the little sister) Salik miah

Breakfast was perfect. The variance of the cuisines and alcohol. The view, quiet, entertainment, and quality of the coffee. The massage was also very good.

Just one thing that made me unhappy: On the beach, the way to go to the sea was a little dangerous. You always need to be careful and watch your steps. The bottom of the coast is strewn with stones.

The food was very good and varied, themed evenings with many variations. Very good selection of drinks, practically everything you need - including spirits, cocktails and very good wines. The staff was very pleasant and helpful. Clean room just like in pictures, with daily cleaning service, beach towels changed daily. Large sandy beach, clean, smooth entry into the sea, enough sun loungers. In the evening you can walk on the seafront of Side that passes through the resort.

The hotel was nice and clean with amazing pool and beach area The food at the restaurants was great but the staff throughout the hotel were friendly and helpful The room are spacious and nicely decorated

Very minor but for a 5 star hotel not to have a Iron in the room and had to pay to get anything ironed

Adbullah very polite and helpful, friendly!

for couples, you have to take into account that you sleep in separate beds because the two beds are pushed together and fall apart, this is a very big minus, there could still be one bed!

Hotel and employees was nice. We paid for sea view and got better room who was more expensive for free and have own jakuzzi and terrace. Pool is good, food was delicately, drinks too, rooms great.

Uncomfortable beds. The sea was dirty, you couldn't even see your feet. If u dont speak deutch is problem 99% guest are germans.

Nice staff, delicious food, comfy room. The whole resort is spacious, clean and convenient in every aspect.

As a foreigner, it is much easier to communicate in German than English.
