Mitsis Selection Laguna

Mitsis Selection Laguna

8/10 Good
"A very nice upscale all inclusive. Meals were all good as well as the drinks. The only suggestions I can give are- put thermostatic mixing valves on all showers as the temperature swings wildly from cooled to scalding rapidly and place wrapped soap in the soap dish so guests will not assume that the hand lotion is the only available source for washing hands. The breakfast buffet is large and varied and unlike so many other Greek hotels the food on buffets is served hot. Many made to order stations exist. Numerous pools are available and the al a carte restaurants are great. The drink and wine section is also exceptional with a wide choice and excellent recommendations. A nutritionist (currently working on her Masters) consults with those who have dietary or food allergy considerations. Overall the best hotel we stayed at in our three weeks at the point of writing this review. We stayed two nights but you could likely stay a week and not exhaust the choice in bars, menus or drink options. No problem finding a nice lounger by the pool either. "
