Excellent resort for chilling holiday
Kirti, 6-night trip

10/10 Excellent

Excellent hotel, everything very clean and well kept. Pool area and beach are excellent. Lots of steps if you have mobility issues but we really enjoyed our stay and will return again.
Christopher, 7-night trip

10/10 Excellent

Nice rooms, well maintained grounds, clean and comfortable. Staff is great and make you feel welcome, one of the biggest assets . Food is good though the Asian a la carte and the late night buffet less so. Good massages at the spa and nice beach. It was a very relaxing week and I would definitely recommend.
Leticia, 7-night trip

10/10 Excellent

Lovely property. Excellent swim up rooms and clean hotel with good selection of drinks. Our only honest criticism would be the quality of buffet food and range of Greek food which was lacking. The kids pool is substandard and not to the same quality as the pools and facilities elsewhere. Other than that, we had a lovely time and would still return.
Charles Taylor, 7-night trip

10/10 Excellent

Best resort I’ve stayed at in years. Great food, pool and private beach. The room was immaculate and the staff was friendly and helpful.
Vinay, 3-night trip

10/10 Excellent

A convenient mid size resort. Decent food. Amazing beach and big size pool. Pool never gets too crowded. Friendly staff. Only complaint could be lack of staff. Staff seems working long hours and exhausted,They try their best though.
Roozbeh, 6-night trip

10/10 Excellent

My siblings and I had a pleasant stay at Mitsis Rinela. The rooms were extremely comfortable, clean, and the staff were very helpful and accommodating. The restaurants had a wide variety of food to choose from, and there was entertainment on every night we were there. Definitely a hotel to stay at during a visit to Heraklion.

Our stay was very nice. Thank you very much. Organisation is Perfect!
Veit Urban, 7-night trip

4/10 Poor

Lovely property however, if you are expecting 5 star service this isn’t the place. You barely receive table service by the pool so you constantly have to get drinks yourself. Mini fridge was only restocked once, buffet for breakfast and dinner is of very bad quality - you have to book well in advance to get into the restaurants. However, Staff in the main bar were very lovely and attentive and the Italian restaurant. I would personally rate this hotel a 4 star.

Mick, 7-night trip

10/10 Excellent

This hotel has the most stunning setting of any hotel I’ve ever stayed at. The main pool is especially gorgeous. Their all-inclusive meals were high quality and dining room service was great. Bar service was a little slow during happy hour time. We couldn’t check in until an hour after check-in time which was slightly inconvenient; looking back, it would’ve been helpful to unwind somewhere on the property and get a text when our room was ready. We did get upgraded to a suite with a swim-up pool attached to our terrace, which was lovely. This was a nice place to bring our toddler. It felt family-friendly but sophisticated, too.
Madeleine, 1-night trip

10/10 Excellent

We had a fantastic time here. Food and facilities were great. Staff were so nice to us and treated us very well. I would recommend this hotel to everyone and I will def be coming back again
Mahmood, 7-night trip

10/10 Excellent

We stayed at Mitsis Rinela to celebrate a milestone birthday and our anniversary and the experience was flawless from start to finish. Having already stayed at another Mitsis in Rhodes, I expected great service, but Rinela somehow exceeded even that. As vegans, we were especially impressed by how well the resort catered to our dietary needs. From the moment I emailed ahead of our stay, the resort’s in-house nutritionist, Maria, responded promptly and clearly explained our options at every restaurant. When we arrived, she met with us personally to ensure everything was in place and it was. We were introduced to the Executive Chef, Georgios, and Sous Chef, Ionis, who went out of their way to customise our meals. The service across all à la carte restaurants, cafés, and beach bars was simply incredible. We were constantly offered more food and options — the à la carte dining felt limitless, and every meal left us full and happy. It honestly felt like visiting a beloved grandmother who keeps lovingly feeding you. The staff were exceptional; always smiling, always helpful. A special thanks to Sha, Magdalini, Kelly, and Eleni, who made every dining experience extra special. The setting itself is stunning, with a grand pool, private beach, and beautiful architecture — but it’s the people who truly make Mitsis Rinela what it is. I work for a global travel company and can confidently say this was one of the best hospitality experiences I’ve had anywhere in the world!

Annemarie, 7-night trip

4/10 Poor

I had a mixed stay for our honeymoon, I found all the dinner and service staff really lovely and the cleaners were really good, however there is a massive negative which really ruined our stay, the air conditioning which was advertised was set to heat mode for the first 5 days of our trip… despite complaining each day and being told it will be fixed tomorrow… it was not changed to cooling mode for 5 days, this really effected our sleep as it was so hot in our roo, they would not move us to a different room and just told us to put up with it… really disappointed by this otherwise I feel it would of been a lovely stay… Complained afterwards and was not offered any kind of compensation or refund on the stay. Also the area around is not that great I would recommend staying somewhere near chanai.
Joshua, 7-night trip

In my over 50 years of travel, lucky me, this has to be one of the best hotels I have ever had the pleasure of staying at. Wonderful food. Wonderful staff. Pure luxury. I cannot praise this place enough. Thank you Mitsis.
