Grecotel Meli Palace

This is the most modest of all the Grecotel properties — very calm, with nowhere to go outside the resort. 

The grounds are compact, featuring 155 rooms, most of them family rooms. It’s a family-focused hotel, clean but a bit worn.

We had lunch there; though the selection was limited, the food was tasty, including some seafood. 

However, given the hotel’s high price point, you’d expect a slightly broader range of dishes. T

he pool bar stays open until 11:00 p.m., and there’s a nighttime snack available. 

I wasn’t overly impressed with the beach - swimming there doesn’t feel particularly convenient. 

The rooms are older, and the rates are somewhat steep for what you get.

Sun loungers and umbrellas are complimentary. There’s one а la carte restaurant, plus a lobby bar and a pool bar. 

Activities include pedal boats, kayaks, yoga, and fitness. The spa is extra: sauna, Jacuzzi, and the gym cost 4 euros per day. 

For children, there’s the Grecoland mini club, a mini disco, and weekly cooking lessons on Thursdays. 

Guests can reserve a rest lounge in advance for late departures. Checkout time for rooms is 11:00 a.m.

It’s worth suggesting to clients, but be sure to explain all the nuances.
