Our stay was filled with contrasts. While the location was quite convenient, and there were some decent facilities around, we were disappointed by the general state of the hotel and the dining experience. The rooms felt dated and had some maintenance issues. The service was hit or miss, with some staff members offering great help while others seemed indifferent. Unfortunately, it didn't quite meet our expectations for a relaxing getaway.

The Mitsis Rinela Beach Resort is a wonderful place for relaxation, featuring beautiful pools and beach access. The staff is incredibly attentive, making every visitor feel valued, though some bungalows can be a bit cramped and not reflective of the hotel's overall luxury. Dining options are great, especially at the themed restaurants, and the entertainment adds a fun touch to the evenings. Overall, it's a great choice for families and couples seeking a laid-back getaway, although some minor issues with room sizes should be considered.
