Mitsis Rinela Beach Resort & Spa at a Glance

A Proper Look at Mitsis Rinela Beach Resort & Spa

Mitsis Selection Rinela is a polished five-star beachfront resort in Kokkini Hani with a strong family programme, upgraded accommodation, multiple pools, beach facilities and a much broader food-and-drink offer than a simple buffet hotel. For 2026 Mitsis introduced new family rooms, refreshed superior rooms, new children’s and teenagers’ areas and upgraded water attractions.

Accommodation ranges from doubles and superior rooms to family rooms, suites, villas and categories with shared or private pools. The 2026 family upgrade added 16 new family rooms, including ground-floor rooms with shared-pool access, private decks and daybeds. Families should compare true two-bedroom layouts with open-plan family rooms before booking.

The resort combines main swimming pools, children’s and teenagers’ pools, splash areas and waterslides. Some room categories also have shared or private pools. Mitsis notes that the main family water facilities are seasonal and not all are heated.

Step Outside: What Is Around the Hotel?

Kokkini Hani is a low-key beach resort east of Heraklion, with sandy stretches, tavernas, cafés and easy road access to the capital. It is much calmer than central Hersonissos, which makes it useful for families and couples who want a resort base without constant nightlife.
