Luxury All Inclusive Mitsis Alila Hotel
Just back from a fabulous week at Mitsis Alila – would highly recommend to anyone of any age (we didn’t have children with us so can’t give you any insight into the family side of things). RESTAURANTS Buffet -open for breakfast, lunch, dinner and a late-night option. Can sit in or eat out with lovely sea view. Great range of food as you’d expect for such a hotel, a good option for those who prefer numerous choices and not necessarily wanting sauces or spices. Also has feature cuisine evenings. Tex-Mex – Good variety of all variations of Mexican food, surf-and-turf a good choice, with sizeable steak. Minor quibble is the courtyard setting. Italian – Great setting, nice menu, very much a family atmosphere (good buzz when we attended). Pizza and pasta for all plus some classic Italian dishes. Portions medium-sized but large appetites can order more. Greek – next to Italian so same sea view. Classic local dishes served to a very high standard. Pan-Asian & Sushi – evening only, very interesting varied menu, a number of sushi options plus varied Asian choices. A shout out for the Mongolian beef. Ouzerie – we didn’t do brunch but lunch was excellent. Service fantastic – George and Nanna the best duo you’ll come across, extremely friendly and welcoming, visit once and they’ll remember you the next time. Great food and view. Portions not very large. Not open for Dinner. Burger Restaurant - Never made it to this restaurant, not open for dinner but very popular. On same site as Ouzerie so excellent view. Pizza on the Beach – Pizza Oven next to the Beach Bar Ice Cream & Popcorn served from Beach Bar Others – you can only eat so much so we didn’t make it to the Creperie (looked amazing), Pitta Corner or sample Afternoon Tea. A big shout out to Evi and Charis and all of the Food & Beverage team and staff throughout all the restaurants and bars. BARS Wine & Champagne Bar – great option, wide range of wines and champagnes all included in your package and overseen by the fantastic and extremely knowledgeable pairing of Magda and Nicole. Whether you want to learn more about Greek wines, just want something wet and white or want help with a wine for your dinner they can talk you through it all. Cocktail Bar – also the (outdoor) site for evening entertainment which can vary in quality – great tribute bands (Supremes, Drifters), decent saxophonist and average rock trios. Note the music by law must end by 11pm. Bar staff make a wide range of cocktails and less complex long drinks with top-shelf spirits. Long Bar – large bar off main lobby, open till 1am. Beach Bar – has a small seated area and live music some Thursday, Friday, Saturday. The site from which numerous waiters/waitresses (Spiros was very helpful) carry drinks to thirsty sunbathers. Clean toilets and outside showers are next door with pizza on other side. BEACH/POOL AREA Pebble beach is tough to walk on in bare feet, need swim shoes, crocs and flip flops don’t work. Sea is usually very calm. Sunbeds of excellent quality, fresh beach towels are delivered to your room daily. Kostas and Mohammed and team do a fantastic job here. Large Pool area with lots of sun beds, but come early to avoid disappointment. Separate family pool with water feature and kids clubs etc ( we didn’t make it here) Daily Fitness Activity Programme – There are lots of things organised to cover all needs Yoga, beach volleyball, table tennis etc I took part in the Aqua Aerobics every day at 11,15 with Nico (great motivator), for 30 mins of fitness to burn off the large amount of food and alcohol. SPA – of no interest to us so can’t comment. TIPS As an all-inclusive there is absolutely no pressure to tip but with staff generally of a very high quality and both helpful and friendly we viewed it as we would any restaurant or hotel so tipped where appropriate. As it is near on impossible to obtain low denomination notes or change at the hotel it is better to come prepared. I made the booking direct with the hotel and had fantastic advice and help especially from the Reservations Manager Tasos. Also prior to our visit and during our stay we had continued support from the Front Office manager Michael and his Concierge/Reception team. We look forward to returning to Mitsis Alila VERY soon!Show less Date of stay: June 2022
