All was great from pickup at airport meeting at reception with glass of wine till the end

Great service, great food and excellent views across the Ionion Sea. All the things you would expect for a high-end resort. However, a few repeating issues we encountered throughout our week: 1. Constant upselling by staff. I know I can order a bottle of wine, I want a glass. I know it can order a starter, I don’t want one. At one point was recommended a €100 bottle of wine (unprompted) which I was promised would pair best with dinner (it wouldn’t). 2. At dinner there were several skilled instrumentalists. Namely a piano and guitar duo one day, cellist the next. Unfortunately they were all made to play rehashed tracks by Ed Sheeran, Celine Dion or a number of modern artists alongside a naff backing track. By day 4 we had heard A Thousand Years played by both sets of musicians and again in a calypso lounge cover at the bar. Let the musicians play up to their skill level, they all looked bored and were clearly forced to mute their abilities. Very good week all being said (the beach bar is brilliant) but the above points did make the experience feel disingenuous in part.

Such a beautiful place to stay ! Kind staff, beautiful rooms and excellent meals.

The staff are outstanding. So friendly and accommodating. Peggy was especially wonderful for friendliness and attention. Our pool was spectacular. The architecture of the resort is outstanding. We had the 11 course menu at Melia with the wine tasting. Should Michelin star at least! Exceeded our expectations in every way.

Everything was great. The beach is small and grey-beige with raw sand. not really attractive, but waters are transparent and clean. The swimming pool is fresh but beautiful with an amazing view.

Amazing staff and nice property. Coming from the U.S., it did feel a bit less than a 5-star hotel but we had a nice time

The service here was excellent, facilities are top notch, staff was always very attentive and super nice. If you are into the gym and spa amenities, you will happy with the equipment and services offered. Gym was open 24 hrs so you don’t have to worry about waiting to work around others in a relative small space. This hotel has direct access to a small private beach area, which was a huge plus when compared to other hotels and just trying to snag a good spot at other beaches around the island. If you want to explore you will need some transportation and they offer drop off and pick-up at the hotel, which is very convenient. Food was excellent. All rooms have ocean views, I chose one with a private pool, which was nice occasionally but probably would have been just fine walking 2 minutes to the main hotel pool which was very refreshing. Highly recommended and very happy with my choice. I will definitely stay here again when I come back.

Beautiful property, best hotel on the island according to the locals I spoke to. Great pool, great beach highly recommend. Rooms were good. Services excellent, full, turn down service and dilligent cleaners who were very helpful. Will stay again.
