Melini Hotel Suites

Fabulous family run hotel. They really cant do enough for you. From the owners the receptionist & the cleaners. Exceptionally clean. Rooms are lovely. & they Have a restaurant attached. The food is amazing! And thats not all. They have a bar called Rockafellas with acts very night. Best bar on the strip. The staff are amazing. I would recommend this hotel 1000% . I cant wait to go back. Plus the beach is a stones throw away from the beach.

One bedroomed apartment was very clean and large for 2 people, bathroom was large with walk in shower although not a lot of storage space for toiletries etc. View from the large balcony was amazing. We arrived very late on the 30th September but reception were friendly and gave us the safe key although we didn't pay for it or the deposit until the next day. We didn't bother with the TV remote control which is provided on receipt of a small deposit. Surprisingly the air con was included in our package price so a big bonus. Although the apartments are classed as self catering they are quite limited as although there is a microwave, toaster, kettle and 2 ring hob the apartment had 1 large saucepan ( not very clean ), a stainless steel bowl and a chopping board plus tin opener and some plastic utensils. There were plenty of plates and cutlery plus a tea pot but the bowls were shallow similar to pasta bowls so not suitable for cooking scrambled eggs in the microwave. Might be worth considering packing a couple of plastic bowls and a jug. Towels and bed linen were of a good quality and were changed several times during our 11 night stay but again pack a tea towel and dish cloth as they aren't provided. Other reviewers have mentioned the beds - they are on the firm side but we soon became accustomed and slept well even with the music from the sports bar which has also been mentioned on the couple of nights we retired early as had trips booked so didn't want to be up late. The swimming pool is deep - again as mentioned but I did manage to cool off as I'm a non swimmer also on the short side. Sunbeds weren't particularly comfortable although this didn't stop people hanging around 5 minutes before the pool area officially opened to put towels on the sunbeds at 8am, this is could be due to the pool area being partly in the shade from late morning. We did find this very frustrating however it wasn't just the pool area but people were on the beaches shortly after 7am to secure sunbeds - I assume partly because the beaches are much smaller after the storms earlier this year. The pool bar staff were very accommodating as were the staff in the restaurant which we only used a couple of times. There is also an ice cream outlet which has lots of choice and we did enjoy. Location of the Melini Hotel Suites are excellent, right on the strip and a short walk to 2 beaches and the bus stops to Ayia Napa or other local towns. We won't return to Cyprus but I would recommend Melini Hotel Suites with the proviso that you may eat out more than you anticipated although there's lots of choice including the well known fast food restaurants that we are all very familiar with although we didn't choose to check out.

Been going to Protaras for over 20 years but the first time staying at the Melini. The hotel is perfectly located in the middle of the strip. The hotel is very clean and rooms are of a high standard. The staff are all very polite and helpful. We stayed for 5 nights and had a room on the 6th floor overlooking the strip and sea. The room was a studio with a lovely roomy bathroom with bath and shower. The kitchenette was modern and had everything you need although we did not use it. There is Aircon which is free to use but you can only turn it on and off everything else is controlled by the hotel. There was 2 single beds and a sofa which can be made into a small double. Personally the beds were very hard and uncomfortable for me. The hotel did provide me with a mattress topper and extra pillows but it didn’t really make much difference. But not everybody likes the same firmness of beds so they cannot please everyone. When the door to the balcony is open you can hear the noise from the surrounding bars but once closed it isn’t an issue. The pool is on the small side and if you want to sunbathe you do need to get a bed near to the side of the ice cream parlour and bar otherwise you only get the sun until around midday (Oct). There are plenty of sunbeds but I can imagine in the height of the season it would be very busy but it’s only a short walk to the beach and the sea was warmer than the pool when we was there. I would definitely recommend this hotel and would go back again in the future.
