미츠스 발리 파라다이스

Not sure where to start. We got a great welcome. We got a lift with the electric car at the very entrance to reach the reception. For pure luck the always smiling and beautiful concierge immediately surprised us with an incredible upgrade of the room. A fantastic room that was beyond any expectation. The hotel is very clean. There is an army of cleaning personnel around you that remove empty glasses, redo your room even everyday, prepare your table and helps you with everything. At the bar they recognise you and you might find a glass of Raki ( or two) in front of you without asking and with a smile. I was initially sort of disappointed at the swimming pools as I was coming from a different hotel as they looked a bit small for the hotel. Then I completely changed idea. While one is warmer (135cm deep) for a late bath in the afternoon , the other ( 180) is calmer and fresher when it’s very hot outside and even partially in the shadow from a tree. Not overcrowded and you can find a sunbed without a very annoying reservation towel on it. There is a bar between the 2 pools and you can enjoy a fabulous view of the beach night and day. In the night you have even see the moon appearing from the back of the mountains. Everyone is really nice and polite and in our 2 weeks we never got any issue and we enjoyed every minute. The animation team. Personally I was initially not very fond of, due to the fact they tend to speak mainly in French ( the majority of the customers are French). Within few days I reconsidered the thing, even with not knowing any French, they filled our evening with songs, gags, activities and more. They don’t know what is fatigue, they run, dance, smile, act , in the sun with 32 degrees and more. They create a personal relation with you and you can say that they are having fun while they do their job. Facts: beach towels are provided and changed at your request, The beach is reachable by 2 set of stairs, one part of the hotel to reach to road. Pretty steep steps. The second stairs is to reach the beach from the main road. 48 steps. It is a good exercise but not something you want to do it twice up and down ( in case you forgot something in the room). Mini club. This was the love of my 8 years old son. He spent there the most of his time. Nadia was fantastic. She was incredibly nice and made our trip to the airport a total nightmare having our son crying loud because he didn’t want to leave. Food. Surely the best catering we had in all inclusive hotel. We kept saying at every meal how good it was and enjoyed all the mediterranean food. Probably the only downside was the wine. Get a glass of sparkling wine at the bar and bring it to the dinner table instead. Beer instead was very nice. Cocktails and drinks were pretty good for all inclusive hotels. Premium brands at additional costs but we didn’t bother. So many choices anyway there is no need. Advice: end dinner with some backava and get some raki at the bar. Beach. It’s Greece. No need to say anything else. The water is very warm and flat. A close beach called Karavostasi has water so flat that looks like a lake. We did a lot of snorkelling in several beaches. The closest to the hotel have the most fishes and they swim very close to you. We saw a few cornet fishes too. The hotel has a section of the beach with free sunbeds and umbrellas. There is also a bar there that as part of the all inclusive has ice-creams, drinks, salads, hotdogs and fresh fruit served in boxes. Super addition for who spent much time at the beach. We had really a wonderful time, a beautiful holiday, a second honeymoon and planning to go back next year.

The hotel is very good, dated in some parts (some room furnishings), but all out-weighed by amazing staff. Nothing is too much trouble. Would go back in an instant.

This was a surprise. The Hotel was very accommodating, and comfortable. They took very good care of us. We would stay here again.

L'hotel est mal placé sur l'ile, rien à faire à coté. La FRAM est présente mais les animations moyennes ( soirée pétanque ou dancing, bon j'ai vu beaucoup mieux!). Les repas sont très moyens, toujours la même chose, peu de specialités grecques à part le tzatziki, la feta, et les baklawas). Les chmabres sont correctes pour 3* en France mais pas plus, meme plus de baignoires. Piscine non chauffée. Les +: hotel jolie, animateurs FRAM sympas, complexe sympa avec tennis, basket, ping ping, plage à 3 minutes à pied bien, rapport qualité prix plutôt satisfaisant selon la periode.
