Mitsis Hotels Rodos Village

After reading all of the negative comments on this page I had to write a review as it was one of the best holidays my family and I have ever been on!!
I am 16 and enjoyed every minute of the holiday!
The entertainment during the day was extremely good, with water polo, darts, ping pong and sometimes mini golf. The animation team were spectacular and really friendly!
In the evening the kiddies disco was great for the kids, with dances which everyone could join in. Bingo/raffle was a bit of a rip off and we never won anything. But the entertainment done by the animation team was fantastic! A few nights it was a bit of a let down when the show wasn’t as good but I must stress that was only 2 out of 14 days.
The food at breakfast was pretty much the same every morning, but it was lovely, the croissants were extremely good. During the day at the pool bar at the bottom pool the food choice was outstanding (for a snack bar), the staff were very friendly and cleared up straight after you.
At lunch time the restaurant food was lovely and the staff were always willing to stand and chat with you if they weren’t to busy.
In the evening the food varied, the selection of salad, fruit, deserts and grill foods was lovely and kept being replenished even before the trays were empty. The chef made a different thing each night at the hot plate. Everything from crepes to Chinese noodles.
Our room was huge and very clean, and even though the water from the shower flooded the place each night we always had 4 sets of clean towels available to mop it up. The room was cleaned every day and the sheets were changed and the towels replaced.
With one double bed and two single beds it was perfect for my family as my brother and I didn’t have to share a bed. There was a TV in the room and a fridge (unfortunately we didn’t see the mini bar drinks during our holiday).
The cleaners were friendly and even though they didn’t speak much English they said hello in the morning and were very pleasant.
The bar service at the 3 bars within the hotel were quite slow, however when you did get served the bar tenders were very friendly and always up for a laugh.
Over all our holiday was fantastic.
It was the first all inclusive holiday we have been on and we are going back in October as we enjoyed it so much!!
Most of the negative comments are from last year and from what we saw when we visited, the hotel has definitely improved!
I would recommend this holiday too anyone!!! I had such a fantastic time; this was also made better by the friendly staff and lovely people I met whilst on holiday.

Just come back from 2 weeks holiday here and the 9 of us that went found the hotel fantastic; true we did not use the tennis courts but the spa/massage is available at the sister hotel over the road, and water sports on the beach.
We had no rude staff as such (although one of the grill chefs and restaurant floor managers could have done with some better people skills), and as the restaurant is self service buffet, not sure why one reviewer was asking hotel staff to fetch a desert!!
It is a 5 star by greek hotel standards; we dropped off people at some awful looking places so would go back.
The separate pizzeria was excellent and the staff there top notch. As for the entertainment staff they were faultless; can only assume some professional wingers went on holiday just to moan for the sake of it!
The food was okay, a bit repetitive but catered for the nationalities of the holidaymakers.
There were Greek nights (food and music) so again the reviewer who could not see that must have stayed in his room the whole time. Rather be there than at work!

Upon arrival after expecting 5star facilities was told that it was Greek 5star, we arrived 1230am and asked if their was anywhere we could get a drink of water to which the man at reception replied you can use the tap in the bathroom. We were then given a key for our room as we walked through the corridor finding our room, there was filthy floors all the way dotted with clusters of dried blood on the tiled floor. Upon entering the room my first thought was that I’m not sleeping here there was tea stains all over the floor, there was hair all over the floor, the bathroom was rusty and dirty.
The room was filthy so we requested another room to which they gave us, this room was cleaner but very shabby and old our view was a block wall with a roof by this time we were very tired and decided to make the most of a bad situation.

At breakfast was even less encouraged after meeting the local fly population, the food was awful not only looked awful, the cutlery was dirty, staff were rude and very long winded and on the whole most staff seemed like they didn’t want to be there.
Entertainment was rubbish, beach is very noisy and pebbly very uncomfortable, sun loungers matching hotel standards going back to Greek 5star its like the two hour time difference. We paid £700pp and thought we were going into 5star quality as advertised by the operator, definitely misleading think very carefully before choosing this holiday, boring only one supermarket and no tea making facilities in the room.
Only saving grace was that we found a restaurant that was great and quite reasonable at 70 euros for two three course meals that’s were we ate every night and that is what we call 5star. Go to another area of Rhodes as this area is rubbish.

Just returned from two weeks at the Rodos Village and for the first time in a few years I really did not want to come home when the two weeks were up. We had a great time, found the staff really helpful (I find if you want people to be polite to you it pays to be polite to them). The food was nice, with something for everyone.
I have read the other reviews and some people must have been staying at another hotel. We went in August and it was a heatwave and there was not a fly problem in the restaurant. Our air-conditioning broke down but was fixed within a couple of hours of my reporting it. The animation team are excellent, especially Bebe and Adela.
The evening entertainment was in the Amphitheatre which was an uphill walk, but the hotel description clearly states that there are a lot of steps at the hotel so I don't know why people are moaning about this.
If you want a nice relaxed, good fun holiday with friendly staff and good food then go to the Rodos Village. I don't believe in going to the same place twice, but we will definately be looking at another Mitsis Hotel for next year.

Great holiday. Hotel was superb. Spotlessly clean, friendly professional staff, excellent food. This was our first experience of all inclusive hotel holidays, and I would definitely recommend it without reservation.
Hotel and resort good for couples, families, etc. Maybe a bit quiet if you're looking for Faliraki-style nightlife etc. Beach was only a couple of minutes' walk across the road. Hotel's own beach is good - plenty of sunbeds and a beach bar (all inc.). You can also find a few deserted spots just a bit further round the coast if you're prepared to walk a bit.
Resort is a quiet village away from the noisier end of the island. Rhodes is a fantastic island. Rough, arid, hot, with plenty of space away from the busier spots. Hire a car or scooter and explore the south of the island. We loved it.

What a super holiday. 9 out of 10 (come on, no one gets 10 out of 10!!) Like many people like you I’d read reviews about the hotel and was a little dubious about whether or not I would be happy.
We arrived at the airport in the early hours. The coach took us to our hotel (last to be dropped off) and we arrived to be met by a gentleman in reception. The hotel was magical looking in the early hours. We checked in and were directed to our room which was on the second floor near the main swimming pool. The pool was brightly lit and looked beautiful.
Once in our room we turned on the air-conditioning which to be honest was a little noisy but once you got the knack of how to work it the noise lessened. There were four of us, me, my husband, and our two boys (aged 10 and 12).
The boys had put you up beds which were OK. The main bed was made up of two large singles and was quite comfortable. The bedroom was well decorated but the bathroom let it down a bit. The look was shabby chic when originally decorated but looking a bit more shabby than chic nowadays!
I would recommend popping into one of the pound shops here in the UK and buying a bath mat. Bath mats are not provided and if you have young children it would be worth taking one with you.
We slept like logs, excited about seeing the rest of the hotel in the morning.
We got up early and went for breakfast at about 9am. On route to the restaurant we noted that the sunbeds were all taken with towels draped over.
When we arrived at the restaurant we were greeted by a member of staff and asked whether we wanted to eat inside or outside on the terrace. We were taken to our table. Breakfast was lovely. Huge selection. Of course there was the Continental breakfast but also there was bacon, eggs, sausages (not quite the sort we have at home), fresh fruit (watermelon to die for!), cereals, bread etc. Lots to choose from and always replenished.
Never did they run out of anything. Tea, coffee, and soft drinks. No real fruit juices were available, more like squash. Lunch and dinner were also fabulous. Vast selection again. We stayed for a week and enjoyed every meal. At dinner shorts are not permitted to be worn by men so they must wear at least three quarter length trousers and no trainers.
On our last day we booked to have lunch in the Pizzeria. That was OK and to be honest I would have preferred to have eaten in the main restaurant but the children said it was the best pizza that they had eaten so it was worth it for them.
Unlike other all inclusive hotels I’ve been to in Bulgaria and Tenerife it was such a pleasant surprise to be waited on at your table when it came to drinks. Soft drinks, wine and larger were brought to your table. Your plates were quickly cleared away on a regular basis. Excellent service.
There are three swimming pools. The main one near the restaurant was the busiest. Activities included water polo, water aerobics, and other activities around the pool like darts etc. Next to the reception area is another pool. This one is indoor and very warm. The third pool was at the top of the hotel. This was quieter and more used by families with young children.
Then there is the beach. Again across the road but you could use the bridge that links the Mitsis Village to the Mitsis Maris (sister hotel across the road) and go to the beach that way. Lots of sunbeds and umbrellas on the beach as well as the beach bar which provides more snacks and drinks as part of your all inclusive.
We hired a car for two days from Marathon car rentals, literally across the road from the hotel. Easy to book and no fuss. We met a lovely young lady who quickly organised the paperwork. We hired a Hyundai Altos for 85 Euros for the two days. Cheaper than the company that have a desk in the hotel. Unlimited mileage and full collision damage waiver. No deposit required.
We showed our driving licenses and told them our hotel details. The main reason we chose Marathon is was their insurance covered everything, including tyre damage or damage underneath the car which was not covered by anyone else we had spoken to. If we broke down all we needed to do was call Marathon. They have several rental places in Rhodes.
We collected the car at 9 am and took it back two days later at 10 pm. The car was small but it did the necessary. We drove around the bottom part of the island and visited Lindos (a must to visit) on the first day and drove to Rhodes Town (must see) on the second day. Driving around was easy and parking was plentiful. Petrol is cheap and we put 20 Euros of petrol in the car which was more than enough for the driving we did. Took the car back with more petrol than we needed to. Envisaged parking problems in Rhodes Town but none at all. Parked outside the Police Station and Post Office in the car park there for 2.6 Euros at 10.40 am until 5.10 pm. Bargain. Free Parking between the hours of 2.30 pm and 5.00 pm.
If you don’t want to hire a car there are plenty of trips on offer. Immediately opposite the hotel is the bus stop which can take you to Rhodes Town (approx 60 km away) for 5 Euros each single journey. Apparently the bus runs 4 times a day with the first departure at 8.05 am.
Fantastic beaches just off the main roads. Just pull over and sit and enjoy the view on the beach. Most beaches were empty so make sure you take some cold drinks and snacks with you in case you want to stop a while.
Sunbeds started being “towelled” by about 11.30 pm. Needless to say one nationality stood out the most as being the culprits who put out their towels and didn’t turn up to use the sunbeds. Must be something in their genes! So if you can’t beat them then join them is what I say.
We got into the habit of putting our towels out before we went to sleep, say about 12.30 am. There are signs up that all towels will be removed that are put out before 8 am but that didn’t happen. The hotel do provide towels to use on the sunbeds but you need to place at 10 Euro deposit for each towel. Could be quite costly if your towels are taken. So I would suggest taking your own old towels instead of leaving a deposit on theirs. New towels can be purchased from the supermarket across the road from the hotel for 5 Euros.
Snacks were provided in the day and these included rolls, fruit, ice cream, pastries, chips etc. But to be honest it was so warm that once you’d had breakfast etc you didn’t really need to eat again until the next main meal. Free drinks available all day. Again, no fruit juices so if you fancy a vodka and orange you’re out of luck. Cocktails are limited due to lack of fruit juices.
The staff that I came across were pleasant, polite, and helpful. The lady who changed our sheets and towels everyday was also lovely (Katerina). The staff work hard and are there all hours but always have a smile on their face. There was just one person, a young lady, who worked on the reception desk who did let the side down in so much as she was no way as happy or welcoming as the other staff. I suppose there has to be one.
Entertainment for the children was on hand. Internet access (1 Euro for about 20 mins), table tennis and table football, snooker/pool etc. Deposit needed for table tennis and snooker (5 Euros) so you may like to take your own table tennis bats and balls. My boys didn’t join in the kids club as they were enjoying the pool too much but the other kids seemed to have a good time and took pride in wearing their t-shirts with their names on. Evening entertainment was not really that great. It was OK if you like that sort of thing. Perhaps it was just me.
Checking out time is midday and as our flight was a night flight we were due to be picked up from our hotel at 10.45 pm. We were able to pay 40 Euros to keep our room until 10 pm. It is possible to pay less and vacate your room earlier. Check with the hotel directly as one couple we met had booked their late checkout with the travel agent until 7 pm but could not keep their room until 10 pm like us.
I would recommend having a look at the Mitsis website for more information on the hotel. I would certainly be happy to go back there and would recommend this hotel without hesitation.
Rhodes is a beautiful place to holiday. Lots to do and fantastic beaches. Wonderful people.

We have just come back, when we arrived in the early hours we checked in but then got sent over too sister hotel for the night, they did not really explain why just ushed us to our room.
The next morning we found our own way back to other hotel were the reception staff were a bit vacant as they were all holiday if you needed anything.
The hotel itself is lovely the food has such a variety and was nice the staff very pleasant, the bar staff in the courtyard were very good and the entertainment staff also the complex is spot on rooms a bit of a let down could have done with a bit of TLC but you only sleep in them. Ours was at side of pool brilliant.
Could recommend to anyone with kids as al inclusive takes out all the hassle, a1.

We had a terrific holiday and have just returned. Family of 5 with an extra friend along. Two rooms and we were all inclusive. Coach ride was about an hour from airport but was quite pleasant.
Hotel staff were very friendly from the outset when we arrived about 2330 or so. Rooms were not together and when we asked to change were accommodated immediately with no complaints despite the reception being very busy.
Rooms were cleaned every day and towels changed. The restaurant is a buffet style with a good choice of varying styles of food. Children ( aged 10 - 16 ) were all very happy to eat whatever was there, and were never hungry.
Best bit about the holiday without a doubt was the entertainment. The animation staff were fantastic despite working what seemed like horrendous hours. Always full of energy and keen to get everyone involved in water sports, darts, aerobics, volleyball, French bowls etc. This really was good fun and got everyone to interact. In the evening the animation staff then put on a show in the Amphitheatre which just showed how talented they all were.
The shows were very well put together, and very entertaining. It climaxed with the final night show which was quite stunning.
Beach was a short walk over a bridge and down a path. Beach bar serving all drinks and snacks. Again there were activities on the beach with free canoeing. The water sports adjacent were good fun i.e. banana boat, doughnuts etc.
All in all a very good family holiday, which I would recommend to anyone with children of all ages.
Don’t be put off by negative reviews, try it yourself. Some people are just a bit too fussy on holiday and don’t respect the fact that other countries have different standards.

This hotel is not as bad as people make out. Food was ok with plenty of variety.
The italian restaurant is worth a visit, just book at reception as often as you like. Snacks are varied but are ok, hotdogs, sausage rolls, chips, salads, baguettes, ice cream. Drinks are pepsi,sprite, beer, wine cocktails the usual. Pool games if you want to join in.
The down side was the air conditioning, rubbish!!!!! the room was never any cooler than 85 degrees.
Room was done every day with fresh towels and bed changed often.
The resort is quiet but knew that before we went, nice and relaxing.

Hotel better than expected having read some reviews. Family of 5 ,children 15,14,10.
Very hot when arrived air con probably needs updating especially in main hotel (was 48c.) Coach transfer was long but family of 5 would have needed two taxis.
Hotel is like a village lots of Bouganvilla covered bungalows very pretty. Pools excellent very clean. You will have to get up early to claim sunbeds though! There were really not enough.
Staff were excellent especially in the restaurant and pizzeria. Food was excellent lots of choice, may be a bit samey by the end of 2 weeks, book early for the Italian pizzeria, food is wonderful cooked fresh from an open kitchen where you can watch it all being prepared while you enjoy your pre dinner drinks.
Rooms are pretty basic but do have fridges which is great and the views are wonderful. Lots going on for the children, particularly sports wise.
Evening entertainment ok for little ones ,not very varied and nothing really for adults. Few shops, Rodos Maris opposite, can have use of their facilities but no food or drink.
Need beach shoes-shingly but lovely, great watersports facilities, free sunbeds/umbrellas and a beach bar. Local buses stop outside to Lindos, Faliraki waterpark and Rhodes Town.
Really enjoyed our week. Great value for money with teenagers.
