Mitsis Hotels

Mitsis Selection Laguna

Mitsis Selection Laguna is a 24-hour ultra all-inclusive on Crete's north coast, for families who want five pools and five a la carte restaurants. It is about 28 minutes from Heraklion's airport, with 351 rooms, seven bars, and a heated pool complex with a waterslide and children's pool, above a beach that mixes sand with pebbles. The pools are the reason to book; the beach is the compromise. Guests praise the staff, the a la carte restaurants and the buffet's range, the heated pool landscape, and the clean rooms and their family layouts. The complaints are a beach that disappoints beside the pools, a la carte tables that need booking ahead, room service and spa charges outside the top suites, and a main pool that is anything but quiet. The thing people wish they had known is that 24-hour ultra all-inclusive is not the same as everything being unlimited, and that water shoes are worth packing. The plan runs around the clock across the buffet, the five a la carte restaurants, the snack outlets and the bars, with a minibar refilled daily with water, soft drinks, beer and wine, Wi-Fi and the kids' club for four to twelve; the Zeen Spa and the water sports run through an outside provider and are charged, room service carries a tray charge outside the Presidential and Royal suites, babysitting is extra, and the free Heraklion transfer comes only with a booking on the Mitsis website. Bungalow Garden View is the value room, Bungalow Sea View with Outdoor Whirlpool Spa the one worth the step up, and Bungalow Family Sharing Pool the family choice. Couples who want quiet should compare the island's adults-only resorts.

Mitsis Selection Rinela

Mitsis Selection Rinela is a premium all-inclusive beach resort on Crete's north coast, for families who want polished food minutes from the plane. It is about 15 minutes from Heraklion's airport, a five-star with seven restaurants, five bars, five pools with waterslides, swim-up rooms and private-pool suites on a beachfront. It has the quality of the Mitsis flagships with a shorter transfer than any of them. Guests praise the food variety and the a la carte restaurants, the friendly staff and the polished condition of the resort, and a beachfront so close to the airport that the first swim comes within the hour. The complaints are that the a la carte restaurants need booking early, that the main pool is deep for young children, and that some family room bed layouts and storage disappoint. The thing people wish they had known is that the restaurant bookings are the one piece of planning the week needs. The plan covers the buffet, the a la carte restaurants with reservation rules and the daytime snack outlets, a minibar restocked daily and Wi-Fi; the spa and the jet skis are extra, babysitting is charged, and the airport transfer is included only on certain honeymoon or promotional packages. The Family Swim-Up Room is the family upgrade and the Private Pool Suite the couples' one. Anyone who wants an adults-only calm should compare the quieter resorts along the same coast.

Mitsis Selection Alila

Mitsis Selection Alila is a 24-hour ultra all-inclusive beach resort on the east coast of Rhodes, for families who want a dozen places to eat. The transfer is short. It is about 19 minutes from the airport, with 313 rooms, three pools with waterslides, a main buffet, four a la carte restaurants, a burger truck on the beach and six bars including a champagne bar and a wine bar. The dining list is the reason to book, and the bookings are the thing to plan. Guests praise the dining roster, the staff and service, the family facilities and the Storyland kids' club, and the beachfront and the views. The complaints are the difficulty of getting a la carte reservations, which may be limited to once a week, buffet repetition in peak periods, sunbed and towel logistics, and family layouts that use partitions rather than separate bedrooms. The thing people wish they had known is to reserve the a la carte restaurants the moment booking opens, and to fall back on the 24-hour buffet and the beach snacks when they are full. The plan covers the buffet around the clock, the a la carte restaurants with reservations, the bars with branded drinks and a minibar restocked daily with wine, Wi-Fi and the Storyland club for ages four to twelve; room service and motorised water sports are extra, spa treatments cost extra, and the airport transfer is free only on direct bookings through the Mitsis website. The Family Sea View Private Pool room is the family upgrade and the JAZZI junior suite with its heated whirlpool the couples' one. Couples wanting adults-only calm should look elsewhere on the island.

Mitsis Selection Blue Domes

Mitsis Selection Blue Domes is a large 24-hour ultra all-inclusive on the south coast of Kos, for families who want the widest dining choice in Greece. The crowd that comes with it is part of the deal. It is about 20 minutes from the airport, on a Blue Flag beach, with 499 rooms, nine pools, a water park and a dining roster of one buffet, seven a la carte restaurants, four snack outlets and six bars. Everything is here, and everyone knows it. Guests praise the restaurant variety, the pools and the shared-pool bungalows, the family amenities and the beachfront setting. The complaints are the friction of booking the a la carte restaurants, queues and crowding at peak season, and a footprint that is tiring on foot. The thing people wish they had known is that the food choice is only as good as your planning: the popular restaurants need booking as early as the system allows, and the resort is large enough that room location matters, especially for anyone with limited mobility. The plan covers the buffet, the a la carte venues with reservations, the snack outlets, the bars around the clock, a stocked minibar and the kids' club; the spa is extra, room service is 24-hour but charged, and the airport transfer is free only when you book directly on the Mitsis website. The Bungalow Sharing Pool is the upgrade that buys easy pool access without villa prices. Couples after quiet should look at the island's adults-only resorts.

Mitsis Rodos Maris

Mitsis Rodos Village

Mitsis Rodos Village is a 24-hour all-inclusive on Rhodes, for families who want the Mitsis dining spread at a lower price. It has seven restaurants, four bars and a long list of room types, from twin sea views to family suites with a shared pool, spread across a hillside above the beach. The layout is the catch: this is not a flat walk down to the sand, and guests notice. Guests praise the value of the plan, the dining variety, the staff and the family atmosphere. The complaints are a la carte reservations that are hard to get, the hillside walking, crowding at the pools and public areas in peak weeks, and rooms that vary. The thing people wish they had known is to book the specialty restaurants as early as the system allows, and that anyone wanting effortless beach access should choose a flatter resort. The all-inclusive runs around the clock across the buffet, the five a la carte restaurants and the bars on local drinks, with reservations needed at some venues; room service is charged, the spa is extra, premium bottles depend on the rate, and the free airport transfer applies only to a direct booking on the Mitsis website of at least seven nights and 2,500 euros a room. Twin Sea View is the value at 26 square metres, the Family Suite sleeps five, and the Superior Double Sea View Private Pool is the couples' upgrade. Anyone with mobility concerns should ask for a room near the dining and pools before arriving.
