We visited the Meliton Hotel for a week at the end of May. We were excited to go as this was our first holiday together. When we arrived we were greeted at reception and completed online check in which was quick and easy. We were offered food at a small fee as we arrived after 11pm however, we declined as we were so tired we just wanted to go to bed. Throughout the week we ate at the hotel multiple times and all the food was very good. All of the staff were excellent and very friendly. The room was cleaned every day with new towels provided. By the third night we decided we needed an extra pillow each which was provided without any problems. The atmosphere around the hotel was lovely and calming as you were slightly out of the way of the town, which was exactly what we were looking for. The hotel provided a shuttle service from the hotel to Theologos beach everyday, however we chose to walk as it was around 20 minutes away. On Tuesday they had a karaoke I night which we unfortunately missed out on, however, we were there on the Saturday for Greek night which was brilliant as everyone was up dancing and singing. We travelled to Rhodes by bus which was a 15 minute walk away from the hotel to the bus stop (Lemon Tree). I would definitely recommend using the times provided by Google Maps to find the times of the bus as we had used the Moovit app which ended up telling us incorrect times, so we wasted quite a lot of time waiting for the bus. It was €14 for 2 of us to get a return from Theologos to Rhodes which was definitely worth it. Each night there was music which stayed on until after the bar had closed, but this was no issue as we could not hear the music from our room. The hotel also provided an excursion service on a Sunday where you could chose to visit either Farma of Rhodes or the Butterflies Valley for €10. This was a brilliant experience and would definitely recommend. If you are looking for somewhere else to eat rather than the hotel for a change, we visited Dundees and Seaview Restaurant, which were both brilliant and good food for the price. Overall, we would definitely recommend the Meliton as it was very good value. The staff are lovely and so welcoming, which made the stay even better.

We’ve just returned from a wonderful stay at Meliton Hotel in Theologos, Rhodes and would definitely recommend it to anyone looking for a peaceful and relaxing holiday. It’s a lovely, quiet, family run hotel and because it’s nice and small it never feels overcrowded or too busy. All of the staff were extremely friendly and helpful throughout our stay. A special mention has to go to Anna, who greeted us every morning with a warm “kalimera”, Lynn who looked after us so well during the afternoons, and Manos who was excellent every evening and always made us feel welcome. Their hospitality really made our holiday extra special. The food was quite basic but always very tasty and fresh. Every lunch and evening meal included fresh Greek salad with feta cheese, soup with fresh bread, and a couple of different hot dishes such as pasta and chicken, so there was always something enjoyable to eat. All inclusive drinks include beer and wine from 10am until 10.30 pm, soft drinks and tea and coffee from 7.30am to 10.30pm and local spirits from 4pm to 10.30pm The rooms were comfortable and spotlessly clean. We upgraded to a superior room and definitely felt it was worth paying the extra for the added comfort. We had a room overlooking the small pool at the front of the hotel and the surrounding fields. There are two pools at the hotel — the main pool by the bar area at the back, and a quiet pool at the front of the hotel which was perfect for relaxing peacefully. The surrounding area of Theologos is overall very quiet and ideal if you’re looking for a laid-back holiday away from busy resorts. There are only a couple of bars which are around a 15–20 minute walk away from the hotel including Billy’s Bar, Dundee’s, and our absolute favourite, Sunset Bar right on the beach, which was perfect for chilled evenings watching the sunset. It’s also really easy to get into Rhodes Town as the bus stop is only about a 5-minute walk from the hotel. The bus costs around €3 each way and takes roughly 40–45 minutes, dropping you right by the port in the centre of Rhodes. If you’re looking for a large hotel with entertainment and lots going on, this definitely isn’t the place for you as a few guests did seem to arrive expecting this and then spent their time complaining and being disappointed. But if you want a very relaxed, peaceful and friendly holiday, with no large groups, no young parties (average guest age around mid 40’s plus and mostly couples) in a lovely family-run hotel, Meliton is absolutely perfect. Overall we felt this was really good value for money for a small family run hotel. We will definitely be returning! 👌🌟

“Do your research”

It’s important people read reviews before booking their holidays! This is a lovely quiet hotel, off the beaten track and reasonably priced.

It’s important people read reviews before booking their holidays! This is a lovely quiet hotel, off the beaten track and reasonably priced. If you’re looking for standard all inclusive, pool games, kids entertainment, loud, lively with burgers served every half hour this isn’t the hotel for you. It’s everything it says on the tin, chill, quiet and probably not suitable for families or party goers. We really enjoyed our stay because it was exactly what we were looking for 😃
