I’ll make a reservation right away: it’s difficult to give an absolutely objective assessment, since the hotel, after the change of owner, was preparing to close for repairs and there were very few vacationers in the hotel. But nonetheless.
Rooms. Since the choice was large, we looked at 4 rooms. Everything is in good condition, all the equipment is working, only the view from the window was decisive.
Room cleaning. Daily. Not perfect, but definitely good. Special thanks for the beauty of towels and flowers for my birthday and St. Valentine. It was beautiful and pleasant.
Territory. Everything is as before: clean, well maintained, compact, comfortable. The renovations going on in some parts of the hotel did not interfere with the rest in any way.
Nutrition. I'll start with the negative. Quite varied and tasty soups were very often oversalted, and very much (they promised to improve). The rest is nothing to complain about:
- meat: a lot and different (chicken, duck, turkey, beef) delicious;
- vegetables, fruits, berries: always fresh and in sufficient quantities (strawberries were probably every day, even in chocolate);
- sea food: fish, squid, crabs, octopuses - if not every day all together, then alternated, in general, it was enough;
- strong alcohol - definitely got better.
Beach, sea. This is also a big minus. The beach itself is clean and well-groomed, but 80% of the sunbeds and mattresses are rubbish that needs to be changed as soon as possible, because a calm place, a lively and beautiful reef with a variety of fish is an undoubted advantage of the hotel.
Bar on the beach (near the warm pool on the first line in the ". . . Beach") the guys are bartenders and chefs, you made cool cocktails and delicious food, cheered up. All class.
And in conclusion, special thanks to the animation teams and the restaurant for unforgettable congratulations on the birthday of my wife and son. And also guest star Yulia for her perseverance in solving any emerging issues, for diligence and attention throughout the rest. Julia, you are smart!
We hope to come again. Have a nice holiday everyone.
The settlement was quick, we exchanged a room overlooking the children's pool, for a room overlooking the central pool and the sea. Initially, the Standard number, the exchange is free.
The food is more restaurant than canteen. The chef is very smart and professional, he tried very hard, like he and all the other cooks. Meat, fish, seafood. Snacks, side dishes for every taste, spicy and not spicy. If you didn’t find it in the adult menu, feel free to go to the children’s puree, pasta, fish and chicken are always there. My favorite baklava and tahini halva were daily. Drinks: juice from packages, bottled beer, very good wine; alcohol, as in all hotels.
The service in the restaurant and bars is excellent, everyone is very polite and helpful. Thanks for the work to Ahmet - main restaurant, bartender Ahmet - beach bar, piceole Imeto - beach bar. To bartender Elsaed, lobby bar, for delicious cocktails and their decoration, as well as for his always good mood, which he shared with us.
Our daughter was constantly given special attention, these are bunny pancakes, and an omelet in the form of muzzles - for breakfast, and the most delicious cocktail and a lot of smiles.
The beach is a 5 minute walk or a minute by bus. You can't go to lunch. Food and ice cream on the beach from 12 to sunset, delicious pizza, french fries, burgers, pancakes, grilled vegetables. The beach bar at the Melton Beach Hotel and the heated pool too. The hotel has only a children's pool is warm, while there are few tourists.
Fruit festivals were held on the beach. Prepared a lot of delicious fruits, and fruit cocktails.
Cleaning in the room, well, a four with a minus. The biggest problem of the hotel is the Internet, it is practically non-existent. Even sending a message in Viber is a problem.
Meals: very varied and tasty, for breakfast yogurt, pancakes, scrambled eggs, milk porridge, fruits. For lunch, meat, chicken, fish, there were crabs, shrimp, a lot of fruits and vegetables, wonderful pastries ...Vegetables and grilled meat are made on the balcony. I haven’t tried a lot ...it’s just not realistic to eat so much ...Fast food on the beach without a limit: pizza, burgers, french fries, ice cream and, of course, alcohol, juice and sweet water. The staff is polite everywhere: cooks, cleaners, bartenders, administrator, animators ...all smiling and nice guys, they try very hard.
The territory is well-groomed, not large, the pool is unheated, heated on the 1st line in Melton Beach. If you need internet, then wi-fi in the lobby, we were without internet for the whole vacation, and that's fine.
To the beach on foot 5 minutes. By bus 3 minutes, every 15 minutes a bus. Beach: clean, there were enough sunbeds for everyone, the entrance to the sea from the pontoon. To see all the beauty of the underwater world, you need to wear a mask, be sure not to forget ...or you can buy it at a local store from Kira (prices are the same as everywhere else). There is a Blue Lagoon diving club on the beach, I highly recommend a dive (ask Misha Grisha), at a cost of $ 25 per dive, these guys also have parasailing and other excursions, which are several times cheaper than your guide at the hotel .
Leisure: the animators do not let the guys get bored, morning exercises, dancing, yoga in the evening. In the evening, show programs and competitions will be fun, special thanks to Carlo, Julia and Karim, well done guys. For those who do not want to sit in a hotel, there is an opportunity to go to Soho Square, it took 20 minutes to walk with a child, a taxi for $ 1 will take you faster, but we walked like that. In Soho, the prices in the stores are of course cloudy, but the square itself is beautiful, there are bars.
You also need to go to Naama Bay (on a local minibus 5 pounds per person), there are a lot of different souvenir shops, bars, discos, nightlife is always in full swing there. You can also "order" free transportation to the hotel in the famous store of George Clooney, low prices, and an excellent choice.
I recommend this hotel, we will definitely come again. We went to rest, and not to look for flaws .. .
Beach. Swimming from a pontoon, the entrance from the beach can be no further than 3 meters, live corals begin, the staff drives. For a child, the sandy shore, and not a lot of input and that was enough, swam from the pontoon with dad. The reef here is magical, the fish are different. A lot has been written about this, but you need to see)))
So the hotel itself.
20% loaded, quiet. There are shops on the territory, you need to bargain. The prices are reasonable, compared with the old city and Soho, they do not differ much.
Animators. Would change them. None. They do not light up, despite the declared program of the whole day, there was nothing like that. In the evening there are some performances in the amphitheater. For some reason they work for two hotels Milton Tyrant and Milton Beach, which is on the first line, on Christmas evening the program was there, we were too lazy to go down on a cold evening. On the beach they were almost invisible, it was quiet in general.
Staff + rooms. There are friendly guys, there are those who I wanted to shoot on the spot))) we have a 2 + 1 room, they brought a baby bed after several reminders, we didn’t wait for a normal blanket for a week, our son slept under a blanket, initially there wasn’t even a duvet cover on the blanket dressed, had to go to the reception. Cleaned every day, but cleaning in my understanding, it can hardly be called. the floors were not washed, I sneezed from this dust, it’s terrible what is happening under the bed. Towels were changed, cosmetics were replenished, garbage was taken out, once they noticed that they were wiping the dust, it smelled of polish, but this did not affect the cleanliness, stains on the furniture were trash. The furniture in the room is old, but real wood. In the room there is a gdadilka, you need to ask for an iron, but I advise you to check it right away, they first brought me a broken one, changed it. The territory itself is cleaned carefully, clean and beautiful))
Beach towels. I got the impression that they were not erased, but simply folded neatly. They never smelled of washing, a rotten smell was present all the time, but I could be wrong, maybe there was such a drying.
In general, I will say this. Despite the cons, we had a great time. Everyone makes his own mood, if you focus on the minuses, you won’t be able to rest. The hotel is not far from the airport, but still quiet. You can sleep peacefully at night, and not flinch from the noise of airplanes. Have a nice holiday!
We arrived at the hotel at 10 am. The manager named Moemen said that the check-in was at 2 pm. We had never given money before. But they didn't want to spoil their vacation. $20 - room overlooking the pool. After dinner, it turned out that the open restaurant next to the room was being renovated. In the evening we went to change rooms. Promised in the morning. In the morning, our Moemen announced that there were no rooms, they would be tomorrow (the occupancy of the hotel is 25%). Another manager Bassam gave us the keys and we moved. This is the first time this has happened to us.
The food was modest at first. Tasty - but scarce. On the 5th day of rest, the owners changed. The two Meltons bought out the Sunrise. And then we were stunned! Was "4-ka", became "5-ka". Food is the bomb! The hotel has been renovated and the rooms were ok. Housekeeping is excellent, service is excellent (not counting Moemen). Wifi at reception worked fine. We were lucky!
Close to the beach. The busik is worn back and forth. We often went to the sea on foot. Back - on the bus, go up the hill.
The beach is good, there are plenty of sunbeds. You can enjoy the benefits of the Mellon Beach Hotel. Snacks during the day, ice cream and more. You can only swim from the pier. He's short. Immediately depth.
The bay of Nas Nasrani is windless. There are no waves. They swam left and right. The reef is beautiful and lively. There are a lot of small fish, there are also enough large ones. Early in the morning at 6-6.30 a bracken comes to the reef near the pontoon. You can see it on the reef cover from the pontoon. We swam with it, filmed it, took pictures. Many triggers - also filmed in shallow. There is moray eel, files, electric stingray, blue balisthod, arotron, boxfish, yellow-lipped summer, napoleon and many other fish. Very nice photos of the reef.
We walked to the left from the pontoon to the pontoons of the hotels Baron, Sensatori and to the bay of Ras Gamila. Everywhere worth swimming. If you walk along the coast, then they let you in everywhere. If we walk through the territory of the hotels, they may ask where we are going. Answered - we walk. Near other hotels it is windy, near our pontoon - silence. We flew away on December 7, but on December 5 and 6 at 5 o'clock it was already cool on the beach and the breeze.
In the evening there is no animation on line 1, there are no discos. Everyone is having fun. We walked with a group in Soho. Walk 35 minutes, not hard. And it's just a holiday! Soho is a must visit.
We recommend the hotel! As a budget employee - excellent!
We always go in a good mood, read reviews and are positive!
