هتل‌های آپارتمانی (کاندو هتل‌ها) Melissa Garden Apart Hotel

Very Good

+ The location is quite good. There was a shuttle to the beach, and there is another beach near the hotel—about a 10-minute walk away. An excellent choice for families with children.

− They didn't replenish the toiletries, water, or towels.

Excellent

+ The hotel was nice, clean and child friendly. But I need to thank to the one man who made our stav special. It was Kasim, he made the hotel what it is. He was kind, helpfull and we could come with any question or request, he helped us solve it. We really enjoy our stay!!!

Very Good

+ The pool area was nice…we had fun and enjoyed our stay. The staff were nice, especially Kassem at the Breakfast.

− Dinner for halvpension or all inclusive must be improved. Limited options on the menu… we had to eat dinner outside a few times for change. Otherwise, breakfast was good.

Enjoyable managable and friendly staff

+ Its locality and pool facilities inside

− The sofa-bed mattress was hard and was not comfortable . Living room air con unit was not functioning well. There was no microwave in the apartment.

Highly recommend if you're looking for a pleasant good value stay!

+ We had a great time during our 13 night stay at Melissa Garden, and we definitely recommend it if you're looking for a very good and great value place to stay. It's not a 5 star resort so it's not luxurious, but it's comfortable, has tasty food and decent enough facilities. These are our highlights: - most of the staff were very nice and helpful, especially Kasim who manages the breakfast! Mustafa who managed our diners was very nice and accommodating as well. The guy who manages reception during the day (don't know his name) was great and very friendly and helpful as well. - the food was very good, choices were limited here and there (especially soup, salad and dessert), but the main courses were very nice and with a good variety for our 13 night stay. Breakfast was very decent as well, especially because they accommodate requests for omelets, fried eggs, pancakes etc. - The (1 bedroom) apartment was very spacious and the beds were very comfortable - the beach area which can be used by guests of the hotel was very nice, lovely sand, lovely sea, very safe for kids, and toilets and showers available - the pool areas are limited in size, but because the hotel is not very big there is enough room (and sun beds) available for everyone, and though there is only 1 slide it is a very nice one, good fun! - location of the hotel is good for doing a quick shop outside, and (long) walking distance from Side old town using the lovely boulevard - the air conditioning (which for us as Booking.com customers was included) was very necessary and worked great! - the spa at the hotel, which works independently, was very good and great value for money. Highly recommended! - The foam party was fun, and we enjoyed the quizzes and karaoke.

− - when you don't take (a lot) of drinks, some of the staff treat you as second class guests, which was annoying. There was a sense of being pushed to take more drinks, and we understand that it's an important part of the business model, but all guests should be treated equally in all circumstances. - drinks are very expensive, at the same level or even higher as UK prices. - there was a pretty strong smell of cat poo around some of the green areas of the hotel - the warm water often ran out around 7pm, presumably because a lot of people were taking showers around that time. - the entertainment only starts very late in the evening (9:30 pm at the earliest, usually later), so we skipped the entertainment most of the time. - we asked for a quiet room and were given a room that is apparently one of the most quiet in the hotel (809), but there was unfortunately still quite a bit of noise from the road behind. We were offered other rooms but they had other issues (another road, or noise from the hotel behind), so we decided to just keep our original room. We did sleep pretty well during our stay, but light sleepers may struggle. - the curtains in the rooms block very little light, so the rooms become very bright very early in the morning, which isn't great for sleeping. The staff did accommodate our request to put more/ darker curtains, so that was very good, but blackout curtains would have been great to have. Overall we were very happy with our stay and our expectations for a 3 star stay in Turkey were definitely exceeded, but there is room for improvement. The above are the things we did not like, these should not dissuade you from going to this hotel (we will definitely consider coming here again in the future), but I think it's good to have realistic expectations and perhaps give hotel management ideas on how to improve the hotel. Still highly recommended if you're looking for a very good and great value place to stay!

+ Although you might feel a little disappointed upon arrival, after check-in you are greeted by a lush green garden. The reception staff are as polite and efficient as possible to complete your check-in and escort you to your room. My room was very clean and was cleaned daily. All the items you need for a holiday are available in the room. I made my reservation including breakfast and dinner. The buffet items at breakfast were very fresh and delicious, and there was no shortage of variety. Dinner is prepared fresh from an à la carte menu. The portions were large, filling, and delicious. I would especially like to thank Kasim, who is in charge of breakfast service (and is also the night manager). His kindness and quick solutions to problems made my holiday even better. I would also like to thank the hotel staff in the dinner service. Yaz and his team are doing a great job. The hotel has an agreement with two beaches; both have free sunbeds, and both establishments were very clean and attentive. However, in terms of drinks, the most delicious cocktails were prepared at Melissa Garden's bar. The only downside was having to leave Melissa Garden when my vacation ended, but I've already booked again. See you in 2027!

Very Good

+ Very good accommodation, friendly Staff, nice pool areas. I would really recommend it to others and also go there again

Great place for all the family

+ This was our second year and stay here! Yaz, Mustafa, Emir, Aran and the whole team are friendly, brilliant hosts and so accommodating. From helping with sun beds, drinks, or dance moves, these guys are great! The food is delicious, fresh and actually a pretty good price too. Everything you need is to hand and a quick bus or taxi ride takes you straight into the Side Old Town for the ruins and boat tours. Will be back again!

− That we had to leave and come home :(
