The hotel offers a beautiful setting with clean grounds and a variety of engaging activities, making it a delightful choice for a getaway. While the dining options could be more varied and the main restaurant is quite noisy, the themed restaurants provide a special touch. The staff really contribute to the warm atmosphere, though some aspects, such as the room layout, could use improvement.

Our stay at Mitsis Rinela Beach Resort was a rollercoaster ride that ultimately turned into a delightful experience. We were initially disappointed with our transfer to a sister hotel due to a plumbing issue, but once we returned to Rinela and were upgraded to an amazing swim-up suite with a magnificent sea view, everything changed. The food options were diverse and delicious, and the pool areas were stunning. However, there were some shortcomings in service consistency, particularly in specific dining areas, and the need for better management in certain situations was evident.

I had an incredible stay at this hotel, with outstanding dining options and a stunning beach just steps away. The accommodations were spacious and well-maintained, ensuring comfort throughout my trip. However, there were quite a few stairs, which may be challenging for some guests, and the location is directly under the flight path, which might be bothersome for those sensitive to noise.
