Ожидания оправдались. Мелисса - для молодых и бешеных! Expectations were justified. Melissa - for young and crazy!

Our expectations from the rest and from Melissa were justified by 200% - largely due to careful monitoring of such reviews, so I consider it a duty to leave my review about Melissa 4 *. choosing the golden mean between a lot of positive, negative reviews for each of the hotels and an objective ratio to these reviews of the proposed price for the tour, my friend and I chose Melissa. especially a week before the tour, the travel agency offered us a price that suits us very much))). our expectations were justified, since we both went to Turkey for the first time and were aimed at communicating with young people, active. fun and sleepless vacation. we got all this in Melissa. From the first day a huge noisy cheerful company (which is constantly changing with new visitors) has gathered. Mostly in the hotel - Russians and Turks. The rooms are absolutely standard - exactly as in the photo. removed in a day. towels and shampoos were not changed at all - but we read about it. and came with their own. On the beach, the hotel issues rooms. We had no problems with the settlements and the described bribes. officially they are required to provide the room by 14:00. We had it by 11:00 am. we heard that things were missing from friends in the rooms, but we always kept everything of value in a safe (hotf left phones on charge - normal). Other guys, on the contrary, said that they almost scattered money on the bed - also ok.
I agree that the hotel is not very suitable for example for a honeymoon or a family relaxing holiday. This is a small friendly hotel exclusively for those who go for a walk (we were in the room 2-3 times a day to change clothes or take money). after all, by the pool until late at night everyone is buzzing, bathing, having fun (those who expected calmness complained). There is no animation as such. sometimes the well-known administrator Tanya held contests. we mostly danced by ourselves and asked for certain songs from the bartender Mamed. which he gladly did. Thursdays - Turkish night. but we just got to live music, others caught the Turkish wedding ceremony. By the way, the bartenders are very friendly and welcoming. it’s just that they won’t give out their knowledge of Russian to everyone, because they are exhausted, they work seven days a week, sometimes it’s easier for them to pretend they don’t understand))). The free bar is only available until 22:00. fall in the pool could at least around the clock. all the staff (led by Tanya) are friendly and good-natured - they themselves like the hubbub that everyone makes.
I advise everyone not to look for a bathhouse in the city and not to be led by the offers of the tour operator. Immediately go to the bath in lemon balm (you won’t find better anyway) - for 25 dollars a hammam to the songs of the Turks)), a face mask and a massage with aroma oils (the whole procedure lasts more than an hour). Feelings are incredible. it is very good that the administrator of the SPA center monitors the normal behavior of masseurs. but you still control it too! (they still don’t know how to control themselves).

Walking to the beach is a pleasure - not far away - 10 minutes through the heavenly landscapes and the city center. There were enough sun loungers on the beach, but to get to the first glad it is better not to sleep for a long time. ))
In a word, I got the hotel I wanted to get to and am absolutely satisfied with the rest. because I didn't have time to find fault with everything. I enjoyed. Think. next year I will have completely different selection criteria. That's why. I will most likely choose another hotel.
But who eats for the first time and have fun. fear not Melissa!
