We stayed for 9 days at the Mitsis Summer Palace, and overall, our experience was very pleasant. We had booked a room with a sea view and a private pool, as requested, and it fully met our expectations. The unobstructed view was simply magnificent. The room service was impeccable, with thorough cleaning, a constant supply of beach towels, and a well-stocked mini-bar. We have no complaints about these aspects, which greatly contributed to our comfort. Regarding the restaurants, we appreciated the variety of options, but it is undeniable that an improvement in the quality of the dishes could elevate the overall experience. At the Med Restaurant, in particular, we noticed that the main courses sometimes arrived too quickly, while we were still enjoying our starters. This lack of timing slightly marred the experience, although the service remained courteous and professional. As for the buffet, we found it a bit lacking in variety. However, it’s worth mentioning the exceptional quality of the gyros, which were one of the highlights of our stay. One drawback, though: we occasionally noticed that some glasses were still dirty, which is something that should be addressed in an establishment of this level. The hotel has enormous potential, especially with the ongoing renovations, which promise to make it an even more remarkable place. However, it would be a shame to offer such an idyllic setting without ensuring that the service matches the standard. Certain details require special attention, as shown by an incident on our last day at the beach. I went to the bar 10 minutes before closing to get one last beer, but the server informed me that he could not serve it due to a lack of clean glasses. This is simply unacceptable, especially when it is clearly stated that the bar closes at 6:00 PM. This kind of minor inconvenience should not occur in a hotel of this category. The hotel still has a few adjustments to make to live up to its exceptional setting. We believe that with a bit more attention to detail, it could truly reach another level. Despite these few remarks, our experience remains very positive, especially with an 8-month-old baby. The staff was smiling and attentive, and we made some lovely acquaintances, particularly with Junior, whose kindness and warmth brightened our days. We would also like to thank the team at the Dusk Restaurant, especially the bartender, for her warm welcome every evening, as well as Lamine, who made numerous trips to help us with our journeys between our room and the reception. In conclusion, we thank the Mitsis Summer Palace for these wonderful 9 days. We are convinced that with a few additional efforts, this hotel can reach excellence.
