Our full take on 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.
