Absolutely superb hotel, facilities and location. We will be visiting again! The staff are amazing here, so attentive and polite, nothing is too much trouble for them.
Great vacation, great staff. Lots to do on and off the resort property. Make reservations early on in your stay for a la carte & try to get the shared swimming pool as the beach flags were almost always Red for the strong currents.
We stayed for 2 weeks & we had a fantastic time. The Hotel is very clean. The staff were excellent - very attentive & professional. The restaurants were all lovely, with the main restaurant having a wonderful daily choice & again very helpful staff.
I would recommend this Hotel!
Hotel was well laid out and good facilities. Staff were hit and miss in terms of service, the main buffet staff were good but the staff at the 2 of the themed restaurants were slow to take orders, deliver each course, and remove plates. When the staff were paying attention they were excellent.
The staff was extremely friendly and service minded! Really impressive. We stayed at a room with direct access to the pool and it was fantastic. Very calm atmosphere and plenty of space in the pool and surrounding areas. Food was overall good to very good, but the meat at the buffet was usually overcooked (chewy). In some cases you could ask the chef to get it medium or med rare, but not always.
Very nice property. Location is a little out of the way, so definitely rent a car OR see about renting the car they have on the property. We went March 25-31 and most of the restaurants and stuff around the resort were closed. Food at resort is good, but some restaurants 30 mins. away are amazing. Tons of cats around the property so don't go it allergic. Would go back.
Wonderful stay at the Mitsis Royal Mare, the room and facilities were elegant and perfectly maintained and all staff were lovely and welcoming. We found the food in the themed restaurants great, maybe they could improve the food options for the main restaurant, especially for vegetarian guests. As in many resorts in Crete there were few stray cats and it was nice to notice one of the staff leaving some food and water available for them. They clearly look very hungry and the hotel could certainly leave some more food for them. We have been to other Mitsis Hotels and this is by far our favourite, particularly the rooms with sharing pool and themed restaurants.
We got an upgrade due to the Expedia VIP Access program and had the pleasure to stay in a wonderful Suite with Sharing Pool. Everything was wonderful. The cleanliness was great, the cocktails absolutely amazing. Food in the buffett restaurant was fine, but more variety would have been great.
Gutenfree eating (cealic disease) during our stay was no problem, but more options for dessert would have been nice.
The speciality restaurants need a reservation, but are often fully booked, which makes it necessary to reserve a few days in advance (not ideal for short stays) - that is why we could only try the beach tavern, which was delicious.
Thanks for the great stay!
The property is very well maintained and clean, pools are beautiful, staff friendly and welcoming. Guest Services show a real desire to ensure you have a great stay. A la Carte restaurants served very well presented food but I found all restaurants to be a little bland for my taste, Pan Asian was the best restaurant we went to. In addition there are a wide range of drinks on offer but wine, beer didn't taste of high quality. A Prosecco I ordered was flat and tasted like it had been open too long which was disappointing. In all in all a great place for ultra relaxing holiday in a clean and friendly environment.

This hotel was NOT 5 stars, more like 3.5. Worn carpets, tiny rooms, stained carpets etc, the hotel is in desperate need of renovation. The food was also terrible. No variety or taste. For the price being paid, I expected a lot more. The staff was lovely and really helpfully. The hotel itself was pretty, but it needs a serious makeover and new chefs.
The hotel is well worth a visit.
There are 6 a la carte restaurants and we thoroughly enjoyed 5 out of the 6.
However, due to this we were given another visit to one we enjoyed.
The concierge was fantastic as was customer relations.
Restaurant staff in the 5 we enjoyed were amazing. They just couldn’t cope with the numbers in the one we didn’t enjoy.
Some of the bar staff are incredible. A couple seemed to work in slow motion.
We found the staff to be very polite and always served with a smile.
Disappointed you have to pay extra for tennis.
The reason for the 4 stars is purely due to end of season. We are sure the place would be different during high season.
