- Melas Resort Hotel Side

The hotel enjoys a great location on a long, sandy beach just 3 km from Side's impressive amphitheatre, museum and Temple of Apollo, all easily reached by public transport or taxi, both of which are available from in front of the hotel. Refurbished in the winter of 2011-2012, this large 300-room, air-conditioned resort shares 70,000 m2 of land with its sister hotel and is suitable for couples and families. The hotel features a range of recreational and culinary facilities, including a 4-slide aqua park, spa & wellness centre, patisserie, buffet and a la carte restaurants.
Due to the surrounding area and the number of steps around the hotel, it may not be suitable for those with mobility difficulties.
Great food 10/10, hospitality, fresh hotel rooms and very nice staff that assist you before you need it. Also a special thanks to Ali Murat and Fatih who was great entertainers at Melas Hotel.
Close to the beach and good pool size with volleyball almost every day at the beach.
Would choose again :)!
Very friendly employees especially Fatih. They always help people when needed and don’t let anyone feel left out by trying to include people in activities we loved our stay here and the staff were amazing
Hotel and all its surroundings are very clean, very looked after beach too. Nice and very spacious hotel room with very comfortable beds. Every night I had a good sleep. Restaurants a la carte style. Food is very good , everybody will find something they like to eat. Every night is different cuisine in main restaurant. I liked atmosphere in this hotel also because its very European guests and their very well behaved family members. Staff is very friendly, very hardworking even during days when temperatures reach over 40 degrees Celsius . You are being served in no time. My parents and me with my partner , we had fantastic holiday here. Highly recommend this hotel. Thank you Melas for great experience, thank you behind the scene hard working staff in the kitchen I loved the food and cakes , thank you for clean dishes, thank you all waiters and waitresses, thank you man on the beach who cleans sun beds and put the parasol up. Thank you lady who kept our room clean. Location wise, very convenient to anything you want to do, eat out , shopping, sightseeing , Turkish bath and also there is a bus stop outside of the hotel hop on and enjoy very cheap ride to Old Side Town. Honestly I don’t know the price we paid like 1€ per person.
I have been in many hotels in Antalya but this hotel has been the best so far. From the start, they welcome you warmly at the reception. Especially Dilara is very kind and she has a huge smile on her face all the time. Our room is on the 6th floor , room 1644 and has a garden view. We partly can see the sea as well, bonus! Mrs Ates has been making our room ready for us every single day with lovely decorations. Your towels are replaced, mini bar is topped up, tea and coffee are stocked up. You don’t need to chase after anything! Our room is in a quiet area, lovely! The food is delicious! It’s not repetitive. Fresh food, fruit, salads, pastries are served all day long. Cocktails are made with original spirits. There are everything that you think of, you name it -they make it😊 My son says he has the best milkshake here! The sea is the warmest part of the Mediterranean sea. Hotel has a private beach with both sand and shingles. Non stop food and drink service carried on at the beach as well. Aqua park is in the next door Melas holiday village. Short walk , not a problem. Last but not least the STAFF! They make our experience lovely. Every single one of them whom I came across was so kind, friendly and helpful. They are doing a great job and making this hotel different than others. I really hope that they are being treated well and fairly! Huge thanks to Yasin, Idris, Cemile, the guys at the beach bar, the waiter who served us at the fish restaurant! I am so regretful that I can’t get all of their names. But thank you so much! Highly recommended!
Best Animation Team and good food
