Mitsis Hotel Norida Beach Reviews

My wife and I just returned from Norida beach hotel, oh, wait, actually we were stuck in Summer Palace hotel because Norida beach hotel was oversold. This switch-up was the first in a long list of ensuing events that lead me to NOT RECOMMEND going to stay at this Mitsis hotel complex - and it literally feels like you are in a WWII war camp (not that I ever had the misfortune of knowing what that feels like...). The staff are extremely rude, the food is poor (not sure what these other folks are used to eating, but...), the beach has to be characterized as one step larger than pebble that is actually challenging to walk on in bare feet and the depth of the water reaches 2 metres in about 8 steps into it. I read in another post of a family that experienced issues related to the smell of diesel fumes, and yes, near the Norida beach hotel reception (the main reception), you can definitely smell diesel fumes, especially if you are out on the patio of the adult bar - not nice. If you are unfortunate enough to believe the majority of these postings and still end up going to Norida, the best advice we have is to rent a car from kosmos and drive every road you can find (it doesn't take that long to drive the entire island) - if you do this you will salvage your holiday investment for the cost of a car (about 30 euros/day). What this means is, you could have had the same holiday, albeit not all inclusive, for much less investment and done the same things, seen the same sights, and eaten much better food, by simply venturing out yourself. We would recommend staying in Kardemana only if you are into the bar scene - if not, go to another village on the island and find a nice hotel that is near a sandy beach (from our tour of the island it appears all other beaches are sandy, just not the one at Norida beach, err, rock slide). One last piece of advice for those who still end up at Norida beach hotel: if you want to experience good service and very good food, take the bus into Kardemena and eat at Avli. My wife and I actually ended up going there three times during our 8 days in Kos. The wait staff are super, the food is fantastic and the atmosphere is lovely.

Although this post on Hotel Norida Beach, Kardamena is long, I have tried to include everything I can think of to enable you to make more out your holiday. If any advise helps anybody, then it was worth the effort of writing this.

We have just returned from a 1 week stay at Norida Beach Hotel Kos. (20th Sept - 27th Sept 07)
This is not a 5 star hotel, we would rate this hotel 3 star.

FUME SMELL.
We stayed in on the ground floor rooms just past the adult bar. The smell of diesel / fuel fu ...

Just got back from Norida beach, and I had a wonderful time! There is nothing to complain about this place. The room we got was fantastic, with a view over the sea and it was always clean and fresch. I am coming back next year for a 2 week staying. I loved it.

The Norida Beach is in no way a 5 star hotel! We are a family of four with kids aged 3 and 11. Firstly, most of the reception staff are very rude and give you the impression that you are putting them out, even when you are only ordering a taxi! Yes I know they work long hours for little pay and that they deal with some horrible people but I was always pleasant and thankful, yet they still treated me like dirt! The food is horrible! It does not cater for the English at all, it's the first time I' ...

I wouldn't rate Mitsis Hotel 4* it is more a 3*, only 1 bar at the hotel and no music around pool and bar area.

Just got back from Norida Beach Hotel and despite some very negative reviews, we had no major problems at all. Our room was spotless, the food choice was very well thought out and fresh, the staff in all areas work themselves to the bone and despite that, are courteous at all times. If you have children then I would highly recommend this, as the entertainment is centered around them, even the shyest of children enjoyed themselves. Just a few tips, let your bathwater out slowly to prevent overflo ...

By nature my wife and I don't complain, we'll usually put up quite happily with small glitches or failing standards and concentrate on the positives but on this occasion all I can say is that I wish this website had less than 1 point ratings.

We stayed at Norida Beach in August 2006 and were a bit disappointed on arrival. Our room was shabby, dull and equipped to perhaps a 2 or 3 star standard at best. The first thing we noticed though was the smell of raw sewage, and despite a number of comp ...

The staff were friendly at the Norida Beach Hotel in Kos, but they were overworked. Food got monotonous and didn't cater much for the English, especially children. The orange juice was diluted and not fresh, and fresh fruit was not fresh, as the brochure stated. We tried the Chinese one night, but we were rushed so much, that we had our 3 course meal within 30 minutes. The tiles were very slippery around the pool and also around the hotel. I slipped down coming out of the supermarket and twist ...

Hotel Norida Beach - Me, my husband and 3 teenage daughters booked this holiday on the basis of it being a 5 star hotel but were sadly disappointed! The 5 star is the Summer Palace which we had a snoop around and is quite luxurious. The problem with Norida is it caters for Summer Palace as well so just hasn't got enough staff, sunbeds, food, drink and decent entertainment to cope with the volume of people. We ate out every night in Kardamena and at Big Mike's which is a short walk down the be ...
