This hotel is truly incredible, both in terms of location and comfort. The food is impeccable, everything is perfect, and the cleanliness is flawless. As for the bar, I really want to thank Despina and Joanna for their hard work and good cheer.

We are just home from a family holiday to Mitsis Rodos Maris. We were a group of 6 adults and 6 children (age 5-10 years). On first impression the rooms are dated and could do with an upgrade but to be honest for the little time spent in the room this was not an issue. The rooms were cleaned daily, beds made and despite the dated bathroom the shower was powerful and the water always hot! The fridge was restocked every day with a range of soft drinks and bottles of water. You could also request wine to be restocked. We had a bungalow garden view with terrace that was close to the beach. The outside space was lovely to relax in during downtime in the afternoon. My sister though had a room at the other side of the complex that was advertised as bungalow garden room but they had only a small balcony that looked over other rooms. Definitely request a ground floor terrace room. The best thing about the hotel was the staff. All staff were friendly and very helpful. No request seemed too much and anything we asked for was actioned within a few hours. A particular shout out to Diego and the animation team who worked long hours and always with a smile on their faces. The evening kids disco and entertainment kept us all happy and ages ranged from 5-50! The pool was busy but not unexpected for August and you could always find a few beds if you arrived later. The buffet was smaller than other resorts I have been to but to be honest the food was amazing each time. The à la carte restaurants are definitely worth booking for a change of menu but do book in advance especially if you are travelling with a large group. We partially enjoyed the food area at the beach for lunch time “snacks” and the kids (and adults) enjoyed a crepe or ice cream in the afternoon. The beach is less than a 5 minute walk from most rooms and had a range of activities to make use of. The hotel beds and umbrellas were a great extra touch included with the stay. You can get a ferry style boat from the beach directly to Lindos. Lindos is worth a visit for sightseeing, food and shopping. We did take a walk to the Rodos Village across the road. This hotel is more modern and the facilities at a glance seemed newer but to be honest it didn’t have the same atmosphere as the Rodos Maris and didn’t feel as safe for kids to walk about- it was a bit too big! The children could enjoy a bit more freedom at the Rodos Maris because it was smaller and the amenities were situated around the pool area or close to the main hotel. One of the main negatives is the transfer times and distance to the larger water park in Faliraki but despite this, there was enough to do to keep us all busy for 10 days. If you enjoy walking there are lovely bars along the coast road where you can get a drink and food and enjoy the beautiful scenery. Overall a great holiday. We were sad to leave and would definitely visit again.

We have stayed with Mitsis before in Kos and decided to rebook with the same chain. It’s a beautiful place, absolutely no doubt in that. Great facilities, views and various foods for different tastes. The beach set up seems good but doesn’t open as advertised in high season and only one person serving drinks, so there’s always a queue. There is one pool bar for the whole place with ONE member of staff serving in the middle of August, so best believe you’re queuing for your drink, snacks and ice creams. Kids being told they can’t have any more drinks on more than one occasion even when it’s their first drink. Snappy staff that are over worked and under pressure to work such long hours. The dining room was heaving so again, you queue to get in, queue for food and a plate possibly for there to be none left of what you wanted. Having said that, the food was great and tasty. You’re able to book at the Al La Carte restaurants. These fill up fast so you’re pushed for choice. More than one occasion I was ignored at the dining room when queuing with my children and staff chose to speak to a male guest in another party. The pool areas are cleaned every morning and presented well. The communal areas are beautiful. Entertainment variable but good nonetheless. Evening bar is very busy, so guess what, you have to queue. Only one waitress taking drinks orders who is so pressed you only see her once an hour if at all. I comment on the queues because having stayed with Mitsis before, in comparison there were no queues and we were treated like guests as if nothing was too much. No cocktails at some bars, no coffee at others. Staff sighing at your drink choice probably due to the length of their shift with very little relief. The staff seem to have honestly had enough by 6PM and you’re almost scared to ask for anything else. Plenty of shops in the complex and a small row including pharmacy and cafes over the road too with a few more down the road. All in all we have had a lovely stay but the queues have really taken the mick. We’re talking 25-35 minutes to get a drink. Without the queues it’s certainly 4/5.
