A bit late, but i stayed in the Melay last year with my pregnant wife, had fantastic time, look out for the desk clerk Osman, a really nice and helpful man. Really nice hotel!!

Well. No compaints here about not being able to have a brew in your room! Who wants to go to Turkey and have a tea/coffe? This hotel is very good indeed, well, the hotel is of a very good standard but attached to the hotel (well, next door) is the club atrium which they have joined forces with which makes it much better to mingle! Both hotels have 2 brilliant and very well kept pools and share a night club, The Cuba Club (which is ALWAYS empty, but is open till 4 for drinking! (I think)). Also within the small "complex" is the Havanna restaurant, which has an outside eating area with a stage that has performers every night while the kids play in an outside adventure playground similar to the places that you pay a fiver for one hour, free of charge (I think), or there is a small football pitch for the older ones at 10TL (about £3) an hour. There are 4 pool tables and a 4 stall market selling DVD's, toys, gifts and Lilo's for the pool (I had one that had a hole for a bottle of Efes (local lager) in it!! The Staff are second to none and cannot do enough for you. They hold games poolside and hand out free cocktails for participants! They are not adverse to be being pushed in the pool fully clothed either! They work by the pool all day and then serve you at night in the restaurant, they work very hard indeed, are extremely friendly and love to entertain. Also at the Club Atrium, they have their own Turkish bath, which you MUST have. You are put in a sauna to sweat and then rub all the dead skin off you and massage you for about half hour, this is supposed to prolong your tan by upto 7 months as you are tanning fresh skin, which means do it early on in your holiday, but not if you are burnt as it can hurt!

This hotel is well worth the money I paid and is good for couples but we are going back next year with the kids!!

PS if you do stay here, go and see "oscar" (or 007 as his friends call him!) at the Muyara travel agent which is next door to the Havana restaurant. He is excellent and one the nicest people we met. He sells excursions and you can go on a full day out boat trip including a visit to Dolphin Island for £7, which is well worth it.

We stayed in this hotel from the 19th of june to the 25th and its our first time going to turkey and we loved it and the weather was perfect. We watched shows everynight it was brillant and the staff were very friendly and funny i miss them all. The food was excellent and there was 2 swimming pools they was nice and big. The turkish people were very friendly and spoke good english and we even watched 2 england games in the bar there it was brillant had the best time watching it on holiday the atmosphere was amazing and i wont forget it the turkish people loved the england football and they were all blowing whistles and banging drums and dancing to the music with sparkles it was ace. I would like to accomadate this hotel to anyone it was the best and the staff were so friendly i wont forget them and i miss them already. We will be going back to turkey next year it was beautiful and very hot we loved it in marmaris.

We stayed at the Melay Hotel in August and October of 2005 and are returning again inSeptember 2006. The hotel is kept very clean with very friendly staff the complex on which the hotel shares with the Atrium Apartments has everything anyone could require on holiday, there are 2 very well maintained pools, large play area for the children with entertainment everynight.
All the waiters work very hard running about the pool serving everyones needs during the day and then again at night in the restaurant which serves very nice food with entertainment.
holiday at the melay and you will wear a smile all the week through.
