I cannot deny I was a little disapointed with the accomodation. Having never been on 'All Inc' holiday before I was obviously expecting too much from the 5 star rating. The rooms were however, spotlessly clean, and cleaned daily (regardless of the 'do not disturb' sign!)
The other major let down was the bathroom, the shower did not attach to the wall and was just slightly to short to reach my head.
The staff, in general were friendly (the reps could be a little too full on - but arn't they always) I did get the impression they were more interested in going home, as we were in the last week before the end of season, think they were all a bit knackered.The entertainment is more for kids really, very participative so if you dont want to join in steer clear!

Having booked to go to Rinella beach thinking it was a 5 star, was very dissapointed to find it was only about a 3 star property.
My partner and I were very lucky as the hotel was at capacity when we were there so we had a VIP room which was around 4 star standard. The other rooms looked not to comfortable to say the least.
The hotel and its facilities had everything you needed to enjoy a weeks holiday, two weeks may become slightly tedious??
Food was excellent... especially the chinese.
All staff were lovely and fell over themselves to help you.
Definately recommend this hotel.

The Hotel was in an excellent location with its own beach, the sea was quite rough while we were there as it was very breezy.
We had upgraded our room which was lovely but talking to other guests their rooms were not as nice.
The reception area and the restaurant had been re-furbished as had some of the rooms, but the rest of the hotel could really do with being re-furbished as well then it would be a 5 star but at the moment it is more like a 3 star.
The food was good, plenty of choice, but the staff were very slow serving drinks. The hotel staff were friendly.
We only went to the theatre for the entertainment twice in the evening, it was not very good at all. There was quite a few activities going on in the day, volleyball, aerobics, darts, etc.
Overall we had a good holiday, the weather was excellent and we met some nice people and had a nice chill, which was what it was all about.

We had the 5star rooms in the main block, which were recently renovated and immaculate. Deffinately a 5 star room, much higher than many 4star rooms I have experienced on the greek islands.
The food was good a huge assortment, salad bar, pasta chef, soup, hot food, cold food, doner chef, doughnut and crepe chef. Food always fresh but got a bit samey after a few days. They have a taverna and chinese (which was excellent) Both the taverna and chinese have to be pre-booked and I'd suggest you do this as soon as you arrive as they get booked up a week in advance. Would suggest the taverna for lunch and the chinese for dinner as often as you can book it.
The location is good - on a nice beach with a few shops, bars, tavernas etc right on the door step. Also a few supermarkets around which are good places for buying water etc.
The staff were friendly especially in the main restaurant.
The entertainment by the animation team was good as far as hotel entertainment goes but the lads there tend to try and get a little over familiar with the ladies as my friend and I found out.
I would visit the hotel again as it is deffinately the highest standard of hotel that I have found on the greek islands to date.

We found Rinela Beach Hotel perfectly acceptable the week we were there. Our room was spotlessly clean close to the main pool and beach. I think we were fortunate to have one of the renovated ones. For a very busy restaurant we found the food was quite nice. As for the staff, none were rude to us and we found them very polite. It was my birthday while we were there and the management sent a bottle of champagne and flowers to our room.
Bingo is not our thing, and the entertainment provided by the animation team in the evening was quite poor so we gave it a miss. Luckily we made new friends and were happy chatting and drinking in the main social area. We have not been all-inclusive before and were pretty open minded about the experience. One aspect we did like there was no embarrassing moments as to whose turn it was to buy the drinks.
We hired a car to tour around the island so buses were not a problem for us. We were provided with a perfectly adequate picnic for lunch, although we did have to visit once a proper Taverna and have Mousaka.

We holidayed as a family of four (kids aged 7 and 18months) in August. We had in fact won the holiday so could be objective about the whole experience. The hotel foyer and staff were great - the entertainment team work their socks off (although it can all get a bit cheesy & a bit much at times)- The food was fantastic and the main restaurant has a small childrens restaurant with kiddy-friendly food and staff where they can eat with their friends.
The chinese and taverna are outstanding but get your name down in advance! Unfortunately all the pools are very salty - our daughter commented that the sea on the (great) beach stung her eyes less!The rooms are barely 3 star really and certainly not 4 or 5 star rating.
There are NO lifts in the hotel, and no ramped walkways so we did spend two weeks lifting the buggy up and down steps all over the hotel complex!
Overall a great holiday but NOT very baby/toddler friendly and though the main parts of the hotel have been re-vamped the rooms (and we saw several) all need some gutting & updating desperately.Butlins in Greece sums it up !!!

The All Inclusive option is good value, no problems with number of drinks for each person and the vodka levels are huge! The hotel is 14 years old and in my view hasnt really been refurbished since then. The food quality is very good, however its the same choice every night - it gets a bit boring after 3 days. The hotel does have 2 other venues to eat in, but unless you book as soon as you check in they are full. The location was very nice, its right next to the beach.

Hotel was the best i have stayed in for at least ten years. Hotel was always clean and tidy,the food was always plentiful hot and very nice. Waiting staff always eager to be of assistance. Location was right on the beach, and a good number of shops for visitors where just outside the hotel. You must try the Dotto train which picks up outside the hotel as is only 7 euros and is a good 45 min land train trip.

The food is excellent, we had a 4 month baby, 4 year old and 11 year old, the taverna does great pizza and pasta all freshed cooked. The main restaurant is great with special counters for omelletes, crepes, and terrific salad, fruit, puddings, etc. The chinese restuarant which we visited twice in a week was great.
The only thing was the waiter service for drinks in the evening was a bit slow. Not particularly suitable for pushchairs or young children because of steps. We were originally put in a room two floors up with no lift and the room they moved us to was very cramped. The accommodation is split into hotel rooms and bungalows and some of the bungalows are rather old and shabby
