I am in love with this hotel and its staff. 🫶🏼🙌🏽They are wonderful people with a kind soul. The first time I came with a friend in 2023 and we cried when our exciting vacation in Stella Village ended. This year I brought my parents on vacation. I was very happy to meet 💁🏻‍♀️Lindita again - a very nice and pretty girl. Very attentive and responsive. She brought me to my senses when I fainted, and was with me until I felt better. 🙋🏻Ledian is a wonderful guy who works immediately. He will always advise you to try something new in terms of food. 🥃💁🏻‍♂️ Temour is a very nice and smiling guy at the bar, with whom my family and I have the same views on some things. And, the most important person, for whose discos we travel from another country for the second year in a row - 🎶DJ SPIROS 🔥🎧!!! This is a unique and inimitable guy who with his sets will create for you not only the most pleasant atmosphere for the evening, but also set a great mood for the entire vacation! Customer focus at the highest level! We had a blast! The whole family thanks you for your support and care, for the pleasant emotions and moments spent in Stella Village.💃🏼🔥✨

What can I say, from the moment we arrived we felt like family members, the staff treated us so well. The room was absolutely stunning, with spectacular sea views. The food was amazing in all restaurants. Our favourites were the Pan Asian, Meditteranean, Fish restaurant and the Brunch. The staff were always so lovely in all of the restaurants, especially the Brunch. The staff absolutely make this hotel, always helpful, always friendly, always smiling and always go the extra mile to help with any request. We have to say a huge thank you to Anna in guest relations, who was always there to help, gave us advice on places to see when we rented a car and made our holiday extra special. We are so grateful. Thank you, Anna x Thank you also to Rula, who always made sure our room was spotlessly clean. We have stayed in all three premium Mitsis Hotels and this hotel is as good, if not better. We highly recommend Mitsis Royal Mare and cannot wait to come back! Thank you. Love Melanie & Martin xx

This hotel is beautiful. The staff go out of their way to check that everything is perfect. We upgraded our room to the Taurus Suite with an outside Jacuzzi and partial sea view, it really was a beautiful and private room. The only downside which can’t be helped is it didn’t have direct sun during the day but it was beautifully pleasant and quite large and very comfortable with chairs, table and bean bags as well as the jacuzzi. The breakfast was lovely. The hotel is well situated convenient for the beach a few strides away. The ***** is near by as are the beautiful villages which I would recommend for evening meals out. No problem with sunbeds and the pool is nice with a lovely temperature even in October.. Food and drink prices are reasonable and good quality. Such a relaxing and chilled hotel. Forgot to mention the lovely massage and you also get ten minutes free which is a lovely bonus. Final shout out is for the WiFi which is free and excellent throughout the hotel and grounds, you can even get free WiFi on the beach!! Well done to the staff here, would recommend this hotel and brand of hotels based on our experience.

Hotel is located in an excellent position for the 2 villages, just inside Koutouloufari and straight into Piskopiano where there are plenty places to eat of good quality including shops for provisions, not all were open as just at start of season. Hotel offers free mini bus from top of stairs into Hersonissos resort, 3 times a day. Arrival – booked with Jet 2, dropped off at top of stairs, next to restaurant (this is where you will eat your evening meal if booked half board), leave luggage here, hotel will take it to your room, by van. One of 2 ways down to reception, yes very steep, some rooms located either side of steps, limited privacy, can be noisy, overlooked by restaurant, late/dearly arrivals/departures, general footfall. Parking opposite hotel, or on road, or at bottom of hotel, if parking inside hotel, some cars stalled when coming up bank, be aware if using this to leave hotel if on foot, there are some steps. Pay up front for safety deposit located in room 2 Euros a day, and room tax 7 Euros per room a day ( personally do not think the hotel warrants 4 star rating, also effects tax price). Others have already commented on rating being too high. Staff are pleasant. Room Cleaned every day very basic clean, bedding towels changed every second day. Rooms spread out in blocks, if you get one near the top of road, you don’t have to deal with steep decline unless using bar/reception (which has library to leave/take books, rep’s board and information books, Jet2 rep did visit), pool, or looking at small church next to pool. Rooms are noisy, can hear neighbours, be aware of this, already mentioned. Food Breakfast all buffet, not best quality food, plenty of choice, including fresh fruit, not fresh juice, served next to bar. Evening meal choose from Al-la carte menu same as offered to passing customers, service slow even when restaurant is empty, you get starter, main course and dessert, not a large amount of choice, fine for 7 days, but any longer could be a bit repetitive, it is good value if upgrading to half board from self catering. Did not buy drink at bar, restaurant prices not too bad. While it was term time for schools, there were still more school age children of different nationalities at hotel, another thing to be mindful of if trying to get away when the children are supposed to be back at school. Issues Noise from other guests, included damage to rooms, hotel and private property in and around hotel. Hotel said was one off, but happened again on second week, and they were not British. While there were apologies from staff, they acknowledged that there were several complaints, already made, what we would call ant-social behaviour in the UK. Jumping in pool, in middle of night leaving a mess, damage, drunken behaviour, noise, loud music, throwing rubbish around, gathering around one room to party, kicking footballs around, encroaching on other people’s balconies, but they were allowed to stay. The second incident

My parents have just returned from staying at this hotel and have had a great time. However, there was a slight issue in that they had booked via TUI a superior double room with balcony or terrace in the main hotel but got ‘upgraded’ to a new part of the hotel across the road. They were very disappointed when they saw their room and have said they would rate the new hotel a 3 star rather than a 5 star. The bathroom had no privacy (no door) and a clear (not frosted) window from the bathroom into the bedroom. I expect most couples would feel uncomfortable with this so I’m not sure who the hotel think this is suitable for. But it certainly wasn’t suitable for my parents being over 70! That being said, after I emailed the hotel and asked for them to be moved, this happened the next day. They were back in the room they should have been in all along and they loved it. They said the staff were very friendly and the food was excellent. So what could have been a bad holiday turned into a good one after all. What I would say to the hotel managers is that, if a customer books a room in the main hotel then let them have the room they paid for. If you are offering them an upgrade then make sure it is one and it’s suitable for the customer. It seems you’re just trying to get more customers over to your new hotel and perhaps you’re overbooking. So this needs to be resolved as it would be a real shame if my parents choose not to return in case this happens again. From what they said, there were a number of others who were in the same situation but they unfortunately had to put up with the room as the hotel had no more rooms available. Perhaps advise this part of your hotel separately so customers can make an informed decision?
