Porto Carras Meliton

“Very good experience”

We had a business meeting for 50 people for 2 days. We had all support from the events team (thank you Maya and Mala). Everyting was perfect, including the weather and the sea: meals, accomodation, meeting room, internet. Very nice and helpful staff. Nice evenings with live music. Thank you!

Lovely hotel well equipped. Bedroom had kettle with tea and coffee items. Bathroom had a bath with shower and soap conditioner shower gel. Also a retractable clothes line if needed. 2 large wardrobes one had safe in it. Robes and slippers provided. I had booked a sea or marina view and got sea view room. Which also looked out over the swimming pools. Large bed which was extremely comfortable nice and firm. Table with 1 chair. Dressing unit had large puffer. Large patio with small table and 2 chairs. I opted for all inclusive food package and pleased I did. Had option to dine for 3 lactate meals, could be taken for lunch or dinner. This also gave me large water in room on daily basis. Food for buffet service I found good choice although it was never hot. For me that was perfect. Staff all friendly and helpful especially the waiting teams and guest customer service. Room cleaned daily and no issues on standards. As it was last week a lot of shops closed and also some bars and restaurant’s which was slightly dissapointing. Had thought as at Marina that lot more to see again closed. Great short walks around easy to get into town and water taxi reasonable at 4euro each way.

“Don't believe every review you read”

After reading some of the reviews on here i thought i would add mine, as some are so petty. Yes the Hotel is a fair way from the airport and if you get the Jet2 Bus don't moan that it takes to long. What do you expect it has to go to other Hotels to drop others off. Private vehicle booked takes you… more

After reading some of the reviews on here i thought i would add mine, as some are so petty. Yes the Hotel is a fair way from the airport and if you get the Jet2 Bus don't moan that it takes to long. What do you expect it has to go to other Hotels to drop others off. Private vehicle booked takes you straight to the Hotel 1hr 20mins max. Worth the extra! As we arrived late into the night 10pm we checked in and was given details of the Inclusive range in the Hotel where we can eat/drink and times. Went up to our rooms (Sea pool View) On entering our rooms we were treated to a plate of cold meats and cheese. This was perfect after a long day travelling. The "Inclusive" information was a little confusing and took a short while to get used to. However we got into the swing of where and what to have. Breakfast/ Lunch /Dinner in the main area was great. Loads of choice for each meal. You should not complain as there was something for the fussiest eater. (You wouldn't think that if you read some of the reviews). Yes i admit that some of it was cooler than expected but again to have that much food out and trying to keep it hot all through the sitting is a great ask. Only complaint is some of the guests!. On the Gala night there were king prawns and Lobster & prawn linguine, One family 2 Adults and child (7-8years) decided to pile their plates high with this. Then leave most of it. Then go up again for different stuff main meals /cakes/sweets then again leave. This is just wrong! These people should be called out for wasting food like this. Rooms Nice sized room, massive bed and lovely views of the pool area/sea. Fridge and kettle provided. rooms cleaned everyday Perfect. Restaurants Pefcos, outside near the Beach. The food was massive portions and very tasty. As it was October there were not tat many people eating but still great. News Cafe, Although the choice was limited on the "Inclusive" menu it was top notch and the staff were so helpful. Shout out to" Theodore" very helpful & friendly. Beach Bar Its a Bar on the Beach! just what you need. The staff always smiling, friendly and very helpful. Shout out again to "Eliana", Anna & Stavros. Reflections Bar Again its a bar that serves drinks. Some of the staff rotate between the bars. As we found Eliana & Anna were as helpful as usual. There is also a small area that over looks the Harbour and you can sit at a table or relax on sofas. Some nights have live music. Area Due to its location there is not a great deal to do outside the Hotel. The other Hotel is being rennervated at the moment (no work being done till the winter) If you wanted to relax its perfect. You can go on the local water taxi for 4 euros to Neos Maramaras. The walk back to the Hotel is about 2 miles (including a walk on the beach) Due to it being October there is nothing going on in the marina. Which i am sure in the hight of summer would be very busy. We went on a Bus trip to a local market and caves on the Wednesday. The caves were well worth the visit. However the market was just local produce and clothes. If you wanted the same market without the drive on a coach go to Neos Maramaras on Thursday as its the same market! Thank you for a relaxing week away

“Excellent food, great views, lovely white sand beach, we liked it all”

We had great time at Porto Carras. The view from our room (we had the marina view), was beautiful. What a nice view to wake up to. The beach was very close, with a beautifully white sandy beach.

We had great time at Porto Carras. The view from our room (we had the marina view), was beautiful. What a nice view to wake up to. The beach was very close, with a beautifully white sandy beach. I loved that the beach is about 2km long with no other hotels close by. The whole beach is for you. In October not many people were staying, so it really felt like the beach sometimes was just for us. The food was really good, fresh. My favourite the nuts at the morning buffet. They tasted so good. Most of the nuts in the UK and Germany taste like cardboard, but these were so good, I couldn't get enough. It turns out this part of Greece is famous for their nuts. I want to buy bags of those and take them to London. The food was excellent. And I am difficult to please as I am celiac, no gluten, no dairy, no eggs. But the selection was so large. And every evening the wonderful chef Meletis would give me a tour and let me know what I can eat. Honestly, everything tasted just so good. MY favourite - oven baked aubergines with sweet fried onion and tomato stuffing (and I'm usually who avoids aubergines). Gyros, salmon, beef stew (soft and meat breaking not chewy at all). The fish soup is like my grandma used to make. Whole, nutritious, delicious. But literally everything I had was excellent. And I liked how they did not add flour to everything. In some placed, they add flour to sauces, soups, even potatoes when frying, or fish. Why?! Nature provides you with delicious tastes and this chef Meletis knew that. He used good quality ingredients that tasted excellent without any chemical additives. As you can see, I liked my experience a lot. We will definitely come again. Maybe for 2 weeks next time. Thank you to the chef Meletis, to the friendly staff. It was my first time on this part of Halkidiki and its my favourite. Or and don't forget, you can go for a long walk if you like to Neo Maramas and take the water taxi back. Or a walk to secluded beaches. The only small improvement I would suggest is: having a water fountain with filtered water at the hotel. We bought litres and litres or water in plastic bottles. Which is not the best for the environment. Having a station where the water can be refilled, with filtered water, still and sparkling, would be such a simple solution. Thank you!
