Melidron Hotel

The accommodation provides varied daily breakfast, beautiful pool, spacious rooms with sea views, exceptional customer service, and convenient location near the beach and amenities. It maintains high cleanliness standards.

I am quite sad that I have to write this review. First stayed at the Melidron in June 2023 and had a great time. But this stay was not the same. I know the hotel is in the process of being sold and I am well aware that our stay was towards the end of the season, but that is no excuse for not making an effort for the paying guests. For example, when we visited last year, bread was delivered every morning by the local baker. It was lovely and we went to breakfast every morning looking forward to eating the very fresh bread. This time we were greeted by supermarket sliced loaves - why? Not the same experience at all. Felt overall the breakfasts were not as nice as last time. The bar was not fully stocked either - no Diet Coke or Pepsi (don't drink full sugar drinks) and the wine I enjoyed during my last visit ran out the first day I was there. I kept being promised that they would get some more but after asking each day for the first 4 or 5 days of the holiday, I gave up. The lady who did the food at breakfast and lunchtimes left 2 days after we got there (and was not replaced) so there was only a very limited lunchtime menu available between 12.30 and 3.30. Last year the food available each lunchtime was great and we spend quite a few days eating there. This time we chose to eat elsewhere every day. Wendy was as helpful as she could be, cleaners did a good job but we left for the UK feeling that our stay was not what we had hoped and expected based on our previous visit.

This is a gret hotel! The rooms have AC, which is must. Our room had a little kitchen too. Beds are comfortable. You get a safe with a key in your room. The maid refreshes towles etc each day. They provide pool towels. The hotel is clean in all areas. It is 3min walk to the super crystal clear waters of Skala beach, a 2 min walk to the first restaurant and a 9min walk in to central Skala.The staff are so welcoming. Nothing is too much trouble. The breakfast is varied but always hits the spot. Theo, the pool barman is a legend and looks after you. The Pool bar offers snacks from a cheese tostie for 4 euros upto chicken Gyros for 12.5 euros. All the ususal drinks available from Mythos beer on tap to proper coffee depending on your mood. We went away for a week to just chill out and the hotel made sure that happened. When I go back to Kefalonia I will 100% staye here.
