Mitsis Selection Alila

This was our 10th visit to Aila & it never fails. The staff, too many to mention, all make the holiday - they make you feel more like family & friends than guests. See you all again next year.

VERY BAD

Never has such a bad vacation Bad service Bad food No AC most of the areas Irs a tourist factory not a 5 star hotel

I hate doing this as I rarely write about a negative experience but this is NOT a 5 star resort! No AC in the main areas of the hotel, (which just sets the tone from when you walk in) followed by an extensive wait to check-in which took over an hour, limited dining as your only allowed 1 reservation per entire stay at the (as they call them 3 themed restaurants but are actually 1 space divided making it very crowded) food is mediocre for a 5 star resort, the 3 main restaurants have limited seating all outside and very crowded, limited staff around the pool and on the beach, and the absolute worst is having to wake up at 5-6am to go save seating for your family by the pool or on the beach!!! Too many decorative pools that are inaccessible make the main pool area very crowded and not enough seating. Met and spoke to about 7 different families. Everyone we met had something to complain about from check-in taking hours to not having the rooms reserved ready and placing them in other rooms. We are very positive people and made the best of it. Really enjoyed the company and conversation of the bar staff at the main outdoors bar on the main floor. Teodora, Jenny, Alex, a few others forgot their names and the lovely Josephine who works so hard around the pool and the beach! I also want to highly encourage guests to tip the staff as we sadly noticed this to not be very common at all. They work hard but there’s not enough staff for this size facility.

Fabulous hotel staff all lovely- many remembered us from last year - such a relaxing break.

We have had a fantastic holiday at this resort. The hotel, staff and facilities are exceptional. The food is very good and the highlight was the fireworks and full moon party on our last night. I highly recommend this resort and will definitely return again.

We recently stayed at the Mitsis Alila and had an overall pleasant experience. The rooms were very clean, modern, and offered plenty of storage space, which made unpacking and settling in really convenient. If you’re booking, I’d highly recommend choosing a sea view room—the views of the crystal clear water and beach are absolutely worth it. All the staff were friendly, from reception to housekeeping and restaurant staff. That said, I would say this hotel felt more like a 4-star experience overall. The main restaurant buffet could be cleaner, and the quality of some food was disappointing—most of the bread was stale, for example the gyros, crepes, and hot dogs buns. Soft drinks were also often flat. Despite that, the beautiful beach, great staff, and clean, well-equipped rooms made this a relaxing and enjoyable stay. With a few improvements to the dining and beverage service, it could easily live up to its 5-star promise.

The perfect place

Second year in a row and fantastic. The service levels are exceptional - thank you Mitis

We had a good time... Lots of places to eat from. You have to make reservations in some restaurants days ahead.

Rooms - could do with more attention to detail in the decor / paint scuffs etc Service - 50:50 some interactions were excellent, some were really below expectations as of the staff didn’t want to work there and customers were a chore. But there were others that were really excellent. I’ve never been to a hotel with sich a range Facilities - excellent, couldn’t ask for more Catherine - excellent, the best of any hotel I have been to incl much more expensive locations Advice - use some of the excess space to give a better gym experience, potentially an inside:outside gym Convenience - excellent, close to airport and major attractions
