Was a lovely property to stay at; would definitely recommend the rooms with a sharing pool as they're quieter. The main pool was really busy with families and kids.

Couple with friends

Lovely people from reception to departure, all friendly and helpful. Too crowded to get a chair after dinner or a beach/pool bed on a nice day unless you got a towel on one early ( very irritating) beach beds need reviewing as some were coming apart. Food ok but not kept hot and sometimes was well cooked but cold. Equipment seemed old and toaster was on last legs. Animation team not really interested but it was last week of season ( so?) beach is fantastic with a shallow shelf for bathing. Reasonable venue but have been to better Mitsis hotels.

Sehr schönes Hotel Resort, sehr nettes Personal, ein schöner Ort um Ferien zu machen. Ausserhalb der Anlage sieht man aber schnell die schlechte wirtschaftliche Lage des Landes..

Hotel and the hotel area are very beautifull. Main restaurant have not been renovated yet so it is in original condition. There was no pictures in advance of the restaurant so this was a shock. Other restaurants were beautiful and peacefull, but impossible to reach. We tried reservations on our first day, but it was too late. Also the fitness area was on the beach in the description, but IRL it was in the old tenniscourt and open only few hours per day. So that was disappointing. Overall, hotel is very beatiful, beds are comfortable, rooms are quiet and the food is ok. Service is not so friendly neither quick. We had a very nice vacation here in late October and the weather was very good. I would rate hotel area 5 star (exluding main restaurant 1 star), service and food 3 star. I would go back when they renovate the main restaurant.

Dear Guest, Thank you for taking the time to post a review on ebookers and sharing your holiday experience. We always appreciate candid comments from our guests as they help us to improve our services. We are sadden to hear you were not satisfied with some aspects of our services, despite all our efforts and assistance during your stay, as we aspire to create an environment where they are embraced as part of our extended family. It is this authentic, heartfelt connection and a commitment to creating a welcoming atmosphere that distinguishes our approach to hospitality.We would like to kindly mention that driven by the latest luxury travel trends and the commitment to serve the experiential needs of the international traveller, Mitsis Hotels has been redesigning a number of its venues. Every season, our hotels and resorts are being refurbished to make sure they are offering upgraded services and surpass our guests’ expectations. Moreover, the renovation of Rinela is still ongoing as there are still outlets for renovation like you kindly noted below about Main Restaurant and fitness area. Regarding the table reservations, we would like to kindly mention that we designed specific online reservations system, so everyone can have the chance to enjoy our dining and book online a table at our hotel’s theme restaurants. We understand that guests would like to book multiple times at the à la carte restaurants. However, we have implemented specific rules and limitations on our table reservation system, aiming to satisfy each and every one of our guests and giving all of them the opportunity to try our à la carte restaurants and this service is provided upon availability, which is stated on our official website. To enhance our guest assistance, our colleagues at the lobby accept requests for the theme restaurants every morning. This service is designed to assist guests who may encounter difficulties securing reservations through the concierge platform.We really hope to welcome you again in our hotel, letting us offer you additional and exciting experiences in the Greek tradition, with authentic hospitality and memorable moments – something we have provided travelers with for more than twenty years. Best Regards,
