Hi Reviewers & Visitors! My first visit to Crete was back in 2005 and it was a holiday of my lifetime! I fell in love with the island, its history and cuisine, and the people who are friendly, courteous and love children. So I just knew that my first trip with a baby would be to Crete. Rinela by Mitsis was recommended by a friend and this was a great choice! It was again a holiday of my lifetime but in a different way because it was with a 10-month old baby. Most of the guests were families with young children.
We were welcomed with champagne by a friendly receptionist at 3 am (!) and our daughter got a wooden shape puzzle. We had a swim-up suite, which was absolutely gorgeous! We spent most of the time at the beach, which offered great sun beds and lots of shade and the beach bar staff made the best cocktails in the world! In the second half of the day we would come back to our suite so that we could practise some swimming & diving with our daughter in the shared pool.
There's also a small terrace leading to the pool where we spent the nights watching some movies and enjoying the view of the stars reflecting in the pool. ;-)
The staff were very friendly and nice, I can't praise them enough: the waiting staff, the cleaning ladies, who would drop in to ask if everything was ok, the beach staff.
I was a little cautious about travelling with a baby abroad, but thanks to all staff at Rinela Mitsis, our first trip was memorable and would always stay in our hearts!

Our experience at this hotel was nothing short of exceptional! Having enjoyed several all-inclusive holidays in the past, we can confidently say this one stands out as the best by far.
The variety of food options was simply incredible—there was so much to choose from that we were spoiled for choice! From an abundance of healthy dishes to excellent vegetarian options, every meal was a delight.
Our room was immaculate, chic, and beautifully decorated, with a spacious and modern bathroom that exceeded our expectations. Housekeeping ensured our room was spotless every day, always adding a personal touch with their care and attentiveness.
The restaurants provided top-notch service alongside an impressive selection of dishes. Every meal felt like a special occasion, leaving us consistently impressed.
The hotel’s location by the sea was breathtaking. Sipping expertly crafted cocktails on the beach while enjoying the serene views was an absolute highlight. The pizza and burger station added a fun and convenient touch that we absolutely loved.
If we could give this hotel more than 10 stars, we absolutely would! We're already planning to explore another Mitsis hotel in the future, thanks to this unforgettable experience.
A heartfelt thank-you to the entire team for making our stay so remarkable. If we return to Crete, there’s no question—we’ll be back to stay with you again!

We’ve stayed at several hotels from this chain, and each time we’ve been thoroughly impressed. What sets these hotels apart is the exceptional quality of the food and drinks. There are virtually no queues at the bars, as waiters bring drinks directly to your table, sun loungers by the pool, or anywhere you wish.
The hotel’s aesthetics are truly remarkable. Every bar, reception area, pathway between buildings – every corner of this place is a feast for the eyes. It is beautifully designed, and even the drink selection by the pool is outstanding.
We spent two weeks here with our children, and we’re absolutely thrilled. The only downside we noticed is the main pool – while it’s large, it’s also very deep (2.5 m). At 168 cm tall, I lost footing as soon as I entered the water.
If you’re planning to stay at this hotel, we highly recommend booking a room with a pool, preferably one with a sea view and a shared infinity pool. This is important because many rooms with shared pools are shaded for most of the day.

Best hotel for your summer vacation. Very nice rooms, stylish design of the whole hotel. Beautiful beach and a ton of options for food. This was a very enjoyable holiday thanks to the brilliant team in the hotel.
The staff and customer service helped us with our requests. Themed restaurants were delicious, and eating your breakfast by the sea is a vacation within a vacation. Great shows and entertainment.
The sunset is amazing. Stunning. Simply stunning.
The only disappointment were the photo team ladies, who on our last evening constantly jumped in the pictures and almost tried to push us out so they could take pictures for their clients. This was rude and unexpected. Especially since all other staff were extremely nice and careful.
Rooms were nice and spacious, clean and well maintained.
Overall, very very nice. Can only recommend.

We had an absolutely fantastic stay at the Mitsis Rinela Hotel & Spa! From the moment we arrived, the staff made us feel incredibly welcome. The rooms were spacious, clean, and beautifully designed, offering all the comforts we needed as a family. The facilities were top-notch, and the kids loved the pools and the beach.
Speaking of the beach—it was simply stunning! The soft sand and crystal-clear water made it the perfect place to relax and enjoy the sunshine. The proximity of the beach to the hotel was very convenient, allowing us to easily move between the pool and the sea. It was an ideal spot for both swimming and lounging.
One of the highlights was the incredible food—so many delicious options, and something for everyone, even the picky eaters in our family. The spa experience was a relaxing retreat for the adults, while the entertainment kept the whole family engaged.
The staff were exceptional—friendly, attentive, and always ready to help with a smile. It’s rare to find such a well-rounded experience where everything from the service to the amenities exceeded our expectations.
We highly recommend Mitsis Rinela Hotel & Spa for anyone looking for a perfect blend of relaxation, luxury, and family fun. We can’t wait to return!
