Amazing hotel

Reviewed By Melissa F

We have just returned from a week here. Cannot fault it. Location perfect - just a 20 minute taxi ride from the airport. Everything was immaculately presented at the hotel. Rooms spotlessly clean with toiletries provided. Fully stocked fridge mini bar. Staff friendly. Food excellent - wide choice of restaurants and all of very high standard. The food at the main buffet restaurant was also of high quality with lots of lovely choice. There’s also the bonus of the beach cafe, creperie and snack bar. 3 very clean pools catering for kids, those wishing to relax or for those that preferred music. All pools had a bar serving food. There was evening entertainment every evening and activities in the day if you wanted to join in such as pool Zumba, darts and beach volleyball. The beach is just across the road and there’s a little land train (not related to the hotel) which gives you a 2 hour tour of some of this beautiful island. We’d love to return to the Mitsis Laguna. Highly recommended!

Absolutely beautiful hotel

Reviewed By Mark-hu85

The most beautiful hotel, such a big property but so well maintained. Gardens and walkways are beautiful. Plenty of pools, lovely beach. Traditional in style but not at all dated. The food, even in the buffet restaurants is ridiculously good quality with so much variety. Even snacks at the water park are outstanding. Cocktails are good quality and they don’t hold back on the spirits! Loads for kids to do. A short walk takes you to some nice beach bars if you fancy a walk out (one with a small kids area, perfect for us). I just can’t compliment this hotel and how it is run enough! Would love to return one day.

Stayed in May with family of 8. The resort is fantastic, with great buffet and great al a carte restaurants. There is a water park attached to the hotel which is out of this world, you can spend all day there. Bar staff were brilliant especially the outside bars, were nothing was too much. A bit confusing at first in what bars and eating places you can use if staying at Stella Palace as shared with other Stella hotels. Lovely pools and good amount of sun beds. Highly recommended

Great hotel

Just came back from a short stay with some friends and it was really awesome. Tasty food, a lot of snack stations, great cocktails, including international branded alcohol. All staff is very friendly, starting from the reception and to housekeeping ladies, everyone smiles and tries to help. Beach is very clean, new rooms have stunning design and overall the infrastructure is perfect, both for companies and for families. We had fun and definitely will come back!

A pleasant stay

Reviewed By JaneReid

Stayed for a week with my husband and another couple. Lovely staff, very welcoming. Perfect location. Couple of mins stroll to a gorgeous stretch of golden beach. Shops and Tavernas nearby. Pool clean. Loungers a bit worn and uncomfortable. Food pretty good but not very warm on several occasions. Puddings disappointing, only fruit available was kiwi, orange and apple slices. Would have loved done grapes or melon. All inclusive drinks stop at 11pm. Had a bit of a run in with Stef the barman on our first full day. We had been out in the resort since an early breakfast. Arrived back at 10:40pm and 3 of our group tried to order a round of drinks for the 4 of us. He was happy to give one drink each, was stroppy about us asking for a 2nd drink and refused a 3rd drink. Now I get that he can't have everyone stocking up on loads of drinks just before the 11pm cut off and I agree with this but bearing in mind we'd not used any of the all inclusive food or drinks in the past 12 hours I thought this was very unreasonable. . .but it really was his unprofessional, stroppy, rude manner in dealing with us that really shocked us. I think he might have had 2nd thoughts and maybe felt guilty about it because a short time later he came over and slammed another round of drinks down on our table. No smile, no apology. Anyway, the following day our husbands and to make the peace with him and apologise and he apologised too. All was fine after that, it didn't ruin our holiday but did leave a sour note. Would we go back again?? It's a really decent hotel and lovely location. I am not a fan of all inclusive though and there were hardly any UK people there. Mainly German I think, who weren't the friendliest and seemed to get preferential treatment with table service when the outdoor entertainment was on one night. We seemed to be the only people not getting offered table service for some reason? We probably wouldn't go back but others do and I can see why they have a really nice time.

Reviewed By Brendan L

Lovely hotel, best I’ve ever stayed in. We we’re in a group of 13 and we all had a wonderful and relaxing holiday. The staff at the hotel couldn’t do enough to make our stay special, the bar staff at the beach, pool bar and main bar we’re brilliant, always very friendly. In the main restaurant they always got us tables all together which must of been a challenge with there been 13 of us. Didn’t see much of the cleaners but we always went back to our room been spotless. Friendly entertainments team and three good sized pools. The food was best I’ve experienced in an all inclusive always plenty to choose from, even the most fussy eaters could find something, plus you could always get something to eat from early morning to late at night. The bars also had a good selection of soft drinks, beers, spirts and cocktails. One tip you pay for drinks after 11pm at night. The hotel also has got it’s own private beach and a water park, the hotel is situated on a hill but had a train which took you up to the water park, they also have buggies which you could ring them up and they would pick or drop you off at your room or the beach. Our room was 933 which had stunning views and very modern with a flat screen TV which had a few English channels, you also got free Wi-fi all over the hotel and on the beach area. Thanks to hotel and all it’s staff for making it fantastic week for our family with some great memories.

Few let downs

Reviewed By alisone118

The hotel itself was nice and clean and the majority of staff are polite especially the entertainment team and Gina, she was lovely and always stopped for a chat with myself and my daughters. The restaurant staff were also very good, especially in the onsite Italian. The pools can get very busy and it's hard to find beds, we had an incident on one occasion when a game of water polo was being played near us, the ball was knocked over near us several times which resulted in all of our drinks being knocked over and spilling on our clothes, shoes and my bag and almost hitting my daughter in the face twice. When I complained about this I was told it was an activity pool so accidents happen, the lifeguard who was supervising the game didn't even apologise. The food was OK, but not a lot of choice if your not a big meat eater other than salad. I would highly recommend the Italian, we went twice and had amazing food and service ?
