Super stay at the Norida. Great food, drinks and pools.

We stayed at the Mitsis Norida in early September. We had a thoroughly nice, enjoyable 10 days. Food and drinks were excellent at restaurants and bars. Our favourite bar was the pool bar has a great vibe to it and around it. Also the Beach bar is in a great spot for a beachside beer or Mojito. Our rooms were spacious, clean with a great view of the mountains, with the sea to the side. The pools were busy but never too crowded. There is a problem with all the pools in that they seem to have been refurbished but the floor and steps in the pools are extremely abrasive and not well transitioned. My son and others I had witnessed were treated for cuts to feet. Not good. The A la Carte restaurants were excellent but need to be booked well in advance to secure tables. Pop into Blue Domes next door for a more upmarket feel and enjoy some of their facilities too. Not perfect but overall a great stay at the Norida. A solid 8 out of 10.

Holiday in August 2023

We travelled to Mitsis Norida Beach Hotel with another family in August 2023. The flight was smooth and we were welcomed nicely to the hotel. The room we were given looked tired but was well positioned close to the pool so we decided to stay. Overall, the hotel has a good selection of pools and generally sufficient number of sun beds. It has a good and accessible beach line which is joined with other resorts. We had an impression that the hotel facilities are overall tired and could benefit from some updating. For example, the hotel next door Mitsis Blue Domes looked far superior and very modern. Other things that we thought were not going that well included dining options. When we arrived we discovered that all a la carte restaurants had no spaces for us to dine and we ended up pushing for a space every day for an entire week. The wonderful thing was that customer services in this place is superior and they were really genuinely tryig to help us. Eventually we got there but it was an effort. Most of the times we ended up eating in the main restaurant which lacked, in our opinion, a variety of food choices which one might expect from a place where a family is expected to eat all meals (breakfast, lunch, dinner) every day for 2 weeks. The useful variety was provided by the pancake place (close to the main restaurant) which we found delicious...it gets busy though so you might need to queue. Entertainment was mostly oriented towards families. Cocktails were of a decent quality but queueing for cocktails takes ages. So our advice consider taking a drink in a beach bar and coming back to the main building for the performances. This review will not be complete without giving a big thanks to Mitsis customer services. I dont think i would call our holiday a good holiday if it was not for their efforts to make our stay enjoyable and respectful and kind attitudes towards us. A special thank you for an extra effort to post a few things that i left in the hotel room! I think we will return but we will try pother Mitsis resorts.

Lovely hotel, food to be improved

Firstly, we did have a really nice relaxing time away at Mitsis Norida - there were a few gripes which did leave us feeling unsatisfied (mostly the food). We stayed the last week of the hotels opening times (end of October) which definitely has an effect on our experience. We are huge foodies and the 3 a la carte restaurants were a huge pull for us (having visited an Atlantica hotel last summer we had high expectations). I booked all 3 dinner options in advance (after reading the reviews about demand!) and saved the fish restaurant for our last night as this looked to be the nicest - we also booked lunch at the grill and 2 brunches instead of the main buffet. Unfortunately on the last evening when we went down for dinner they informed us they had closed a few days early and therefore were not open (I showed them the email booking and asked why this was not communicated but they just shrugged). Really disappointing - this was the same for brunch the next day on the final morning. As for the meals at the grill and the Asian restaurant - they had most of the choices missing from the menu, small portions (not allowed to order more than one starter either if you wanted to share!) and left us feeling disappointed - one night we went back up to the buffet to get some cheese and crackers as was still hungry. Overall the food was quite basic and a little stingy with quantities. The good thing was we didn’t have to queue for anything as it was quiet at this time of year. Noticed a huge lack of veg - the sweet and sour salmon for example is a bowl of plain rice, plain salmon fillet and a little pot of sauce. We were only allowed one big bottle of water per day - usually at all inclusive you could have as much water as you like! Breakfast buffet was ok ( no back bacon, no hash browns, no smoked salmon etc) you could have poached eggs downstairs in the grill which were really nice, but as above our last morning we booked was cancelled. The pizza and gyros on beach was good and the crepes were nice. Our room was clean and tidy - we actually got upgraded to a sea view room for free on arrival which was lovely. The only thing I would say was quite noisy as right above the entertainment area (not a problem for us but may be for others). The air con worked well and was nice to have a cosy dressing gown and slippers provided! The shower / bathroom was good although intermittent hot and cold though on water supply (also not a big issue for us!) The service was usually good / friendly, especially the ladies at reception who were really helpful and kind. Cleaners did come in to our room at quarter to 9 on our last day asking if we were ready to leave yet (check out not till 12) which was a little strange and felt like we were being rushed out. We did feel this vibe a few times over the last 48 hours when they were trying to wrap things up before closing. The location was good, it’s so close to airport (10/15 min drive) and easy to get around the island by bus or taxi. We went to Kos town on the bus which was about 45 mins and also went riding in Marmari which took about 20 mins by car. The pool and sun beds were really nice and very easy to get a place at this time of year. The weather was still 25 degrees and you didn’t have to get up at the crack of dawn to get a space! The view was so so nice to look over the sea and dip your toes in the pool. The renovation of the new pools is probably the best part about the hotel 😊 Similarly the private beach was very nice - easy to get a place and the pool bar was good - probably the best tasting cocktails. Drinks were good, and they had real aperol not a brand copy like lots of all inclusive have. Lots of choice - mojito bar nice and we liked how even by the pool you didn’t get given paper / disposable cups - but a nice glass / hard plastic tumbler with nice garnishes. We didn’t have an iron in the room so had to pay for €10 for 2 clothes to be pressed. But I appreciate the precautions regarding fires in the area and it was done very quickly for us. Overall - loved the location, the pools, the beach and the overall layout of the hotel but food let it down!
