Melissa Garden Apart Hotel

Our holiday was absolutely brilliant, and those 14 nights just flew by – we seriously didn't want to come home! As a family of five, this was easily the best holiday we've had in years. From the moment we arrived until the day we left, EVERY single member of staff looked after us so well. A massive shout-out to Ahmet, Alfie, Muhammad (the Dragon!), Mustafa (both of them!), Muhammad, Emir, Rojhat, Aziz, Joseph, the chefs/cleaners, and let's not forget their very own lifeguard (so sorry if I missed anyone!). You guys are all such hard workers, and you made our holiday an absolute blast. You were always there to help, always smiling, and nothing was ever too much bother. The entertainment every night was fab, and the food we had (pretty much every night) was delicious. Alfie, you make the best steak in Side… medium rare, of course!! We really miss our chats with Ahmet at breakfast, you're a fountain of knowledge and gave us some excellent recommendations for trips and traditional Turkish restaurants. Muhammad, can't wait to push you in the pool next year, and Libby will definitely duet with you again on Karaoke night 😊. It really says a lot that families keep coming back year after year. We're already missing you so we've only gone and booked for next year! Thanks for making our holiday so brilliant and unforgettable, and we can't wait to make even more awesome memories with you next year.

Really nice hotel friendly staff small hotel but everything needed there Muhammad the Dragon was lovley with my children and made sure i had what i needed at all times shout out to him

Stayed here many times. Accomadation is basic but spacious. Staff are all awesome. You get a very personal feel about Melissa garden that far exceeds any 5 star all inclusive resort. Extras are to be expected ie aircon, wifi in your room. The food is fantastic. Entertainment brilliant. All the staff will know you personally,by name before you leave. For anyone looking for a budget holiday, especially with kids, this place ticks every box. Great location, nice little shopping strip,bars and restaurants. Mini market right outside of the hotel. Cash machines and bus stop just across the road. Stay away from the red machines,huge charges!! Originally i went solo and returned for another week within 24 hrs. All of my girls, grandaughters have been here and had an amazing time. Been 2x this year already and going back in late August. Hoping my review helps you all get the best of your hard earned money on a holiday that makes it so memorable. 5 stars for staff. 5 stars for cooks. 5 stars for the cleaners.

We arrived at tea time amd was treated by a lovely guy at reception and then Ahmed turned up. We was given details off the hotel and some information about the beach they use. We where shown to our room which was a ground floor. The rooms are very basic to say its self catering, u get a kettle cutlery plates a 2 ring hob and a fridge with a small freezer which was full off ice so couldn't be use. U have to pay for all extras, air con, microwave toaster. Don't forget your hairdryer cause u have to pay for that as well. We paid £28 for 10 days wifi as the free guest 1 didnt work much. The food is nice but is more dearer than places around the hotel. So we ate out. We took a can of sprite from the shop to the pool and was rudely addressed by a member of staff and told it was forbidden to take our own drinks around the pool and had to buy from the bar, even though its self catering. Don't expect anything going on during day except music from the bar. Entertainment at night starts at 10pm, only alcoholic cocktails are 2 for 1 between 9 n 10pm. Our room was cleaned only twice in 10 days. The rooms are dated or ours was. We tried to book a trip at reception but the guy who was on that day wasn't very helpful so we went elsewhere. Beware though if you don't eat at the hotel the staff ignore you, we did eat a few times but found better places. The sunloungers aren't the best so check before you sit on them as most are broke as we found out. They say u get what u pay for n that is exactly that. We came at a quiet time, wouldn't like to visit during the summer holidays as it would be way to crowded.
