Vacationers are mostly Europeans, a lot of French.
There were several pools on the territory of the hotel, we preferred the upper one, with sea water. The beach is sand and pebble, the entrance to the water is pebble. The sea is clean. In the second half of our vacation, the weather had already deteriorated a little, it became windy and cooler, the sea and the pool did not have time to warm up, so we did not swim much.
In general, we were very pleased. I would like to visit some other hotel of this chain, perhaps on another island.
So, the Mitsis Rhodes Village hotel is much further from the airport than Mitsis Faliraki. The bus took us about an hour and a half. Of course there were two more short stops at other hotels along the way.
So, the hotel is located in a remote area of Kiotari, across the road from the beach. The road is serious, so tourists are encouraged to cross it over the bridge. I saw how they ran across it, but personally I did not have such a desire.
The territory is green, a lot of fir. The rooms are quite scattered, we lived approximately in the middle of the territory, so it took 3 minutes to walk to the restaurant, and 6 minutes to the sea (this is along with the bridge).
Room: tiles on the floor, two double beds, bedside tables, a table with chairs, a dressing table, an old TV, paintings on the walls, air conditioning. In general, the condition of the room pleased. Everything is clean, dry, there is enough space for one more bed. There are also bathrobes and slippers, which is important if you have a tiled floor. We had a balcony overlooking a very green part of the hotel.
The beach of the hotel is sand and pebble. At the entrance to the sea clean pebbles. The sea is calm and clean. On the beach you can rent scooters, ride bananas and cheesecakes. Pizza is baked right here, you don’t have to go for lunch at all! The bar serves alcohol (beer, wine, rum, brandy, etc. ), soda, coffee.
I liked the evening animation in the style of the Greek evening, these are dances in national costumes, sirtaki, etc. Whoever is in Greece for the first time is generally delighted!
We did not meet Russian workers at the hotel, but at the bar on the beach, the maid, as well as the animator spoke good Russian, although they themselves were from different countries.
You can rent a car at the hotel. Prices differ from the rental cars of Rhodes, but not much, you can bargain.
There were four of us, my husband and I and children 5 and 7 years old.
We got a room in the main building overlooking the sea pool (218), with a small plasma, one double bed and a sofa that unfolded.
Meals for 5 plus. An excellent choice, I especially liked the lamb and seafood, which were not every day, but they cooked very tasty. I really liked the octopus with grape vinegar sauce, good spaghetti and turkey. Very tasty cakes!! ! After such plentiful meals, with a clear conscience, we walked to the beach, overcome the stairs of the bridge.
I also want to note the work of the waiters, who quickly brought drinks and were always very friendly with everyone, especially with children.
The beach is clean, pebbly, the sea is mostly calm. There is also a pizzeria and a bar on the beach. We do not drink alcohol, we took a very tasty frappe.
Children's animation at the hotel is not bad, especially the mini disco was popular with us, they did not participate in the adult, they went to put the children to bed.
The hotel is very soulful, we liked even more Mitsis Rhodes Maris, which cost more, through which we went to the beach. They did not regret a bit that they chose him.
If you have no pretensions to some kind of deluxe hotel, and there are no problems with your feet, the hotel is quite suitable!
Territory: large, beautiful, well-groomed. The hotel stands on a hill and therefore the architecture is quite interesting and intricate (for example, we found the amphitheater only on the second evening : -)). But the sea view is just amazing.
Number: I immediately advise you to pay extra for a sea view, otherwise it may turn out that other vacationers will constantly walk past you - many rooms go inside to the garden or pools (there are several of them in the hotel). We paid extra (not much) and lived in the main building on the top floor above the entrance. At first they thought that it would be noisy from the approaching cars and buses - but no, absolutely nothing disturbed, and all 12 days enjoyed the seascape.
The room is cleaned cleanly, towels are changed every day, bed linen - every two days. For some reason, tips were taken only twice, although they were left daily. Beach towels were changed at the reception.
Nutrition. We had "all inclusive premium" and as we understood, only Russians have this type of food. On the day of arrival, we were wearing black bracelets (disgusting, of course, but we periodically took them off), all foreigners had orange and pink ones. The food is delicious, the choice is large, but in the end, of course, it gets boring. Cons: Not enough seafood. Plus - a very good dessert table. Any drinks throughout the territory and on the beach, where tips are especially loved - they thank you and offer delicious cocktails (much better than in a hotel).
The hotel staff speaks English and begins to learn Russian words (due to the fact that the hotel has just appeared on the Russian market).
What is really unfortunate there is the animation team. And the point is not that they do not speak Russian (this one is just nonsense), but in unprofessionalism. They dance somehow, the comedy numbers are boring, and in some places vulgar. More or less they succeeded only in competitions such as karaoke, Mr. Hotel, dance - among the guests of the hotel.
The beach is good - small pebbles, and clean. Although we were from the beginning of the season - maybe that's why it's clean : -) Only small tables under umbrellas were missing. The sea in May is +20 degrees, so cheerful. Who is not afraid of the cold - just right. In general, in Rhodes, as we were told, the sea warms up only by September + 25-26 degrees and does not cool down until November.
The weather was hot, up to +33, only at the very beginning it rained twice. And in the summer, as the guides said, it doesn’t rain at all in Rhodes.
In general, I gave the hotel 4+ - it doesn’t pull on the top five in places. But if you are not looking for supernatural service, but just want to have a good and inexpensive rest in a clean, comfortable hotel with delicious food, I advise Mitsis Rhodes Village. By the way, we visited the neighboring Rhodes Maris from the same Mitsis chain - it turned out to be much simpler and less comfortable (this was also told to me by the manager at the Southern Cross).
Excursions. We took two - to the city of Rhodes itself and a cruise to the island of Symi. Everything else can be seen by yourself if you take a car, which is very convenient there. We took two days and everything was in time.
Very good host company - Beleon Tour. Everything is accurate and on time, friendly and knowledgeable guides. The hotel guide Elena is constantly on duty in the evening and in the morning - a wonderful girl. She will answer any questions and help you with everything.
I can fully attribute the same good words to the "Southern Cross" - another time to Greece only through them.
