Review of Mythos Palace Resort & Spa

Stay 9/19 August 2019

Stay 9/19 August 2019
Synthetically a high price in relation to the holiday as a whole, compared to a 5-star Italian is definitely a 4-star offer below the details:
The sea that we found to limit the stars given in the globality of the review and absence of soft animation has had a great impact

Sea: the sea point where the hotel is located is anonymous, near the mouth of a river the area is silty (river with turtles and trout) and the water is a little conditioned by the river terrain. The sand is golden but similar to the ground being shallow and being often shaken with a red flag is not a pretty sight. We visited the beautiful beaches of Greece - Falassarna / Elafonissi - as a beauty on a par with southern Sardinia, but this point of sea is not worthy of note to enjoy it for 10 days in an all inclusive. A lot of wind always also force 6, we had only 10 of a calm sea but still windy on 10 days.
The gazebo in the front row for shade and wind is indispensable, even if paying extra with fruit service.

Structure: collection, excellent distances, possibility to eat almost always, a good all inclusive. Rooms to be preferred with the shared pool, a salvation on days when there is so much wind that you cannot stay on the beach especially for children. Our room, however, after the shower did not dry on the floor, there was no slope to drain the water and there was always a bad smell of sewage. Room x 4 really small, just a small path from balcony to bathroom remained. Council to take 2 adjoining rooms x 2. Considering that there is always a lot of wind the pool (and the places in the pool are so few) is small. The central bar available, except the one in the pool and on the beach as a welcome. Often the bar lacks chips and no spritz is provided.

Beach restaurant with limited personal offer. Better central restaurant but little variety for food (for example, only 2 fish offers and 2 meat offers for a 5-star is cheap, in Italy in 5-star like Robinson or Tanka there is much more variety and grilled than many types of fish and meat every evening at the same time) after 7 days you are fed up. Good variety of bread, fruit and vegetables. Good variety for breakfast. Italian restaurant nice but with reduced offer compared to the central one, the pizza obviously only in the form resembles ours: it is more a bun similar to bread crust. Used to reuse all the remnants of the previous days and not as intended by us. It is similar to seasoned bread ..... There are no gluten free and lactose free products packaged for a quick choice, there is no label with what composes the dishes which is an attention found in other 5 stars that is very caring especially for those who are allergic to multiple products.

Animation: totally absent, it is a resort for adults or for families with children. After midnight ... there is no entertainment for kids, not even a simple disco. The animation guys also try but they are few and poorly organized. In the evening the shows are slow and boring, only one evening there were comedian acrobats who raised us a little. The stage is small and there is no seat for everyone if they wanted to see the show. For Ferragosto, 10 seconds cash and a bowl of sangria .... very sad ... if we weren't in the company it would have been really depressing. Unfortunately we did not know about the structure so organized. . .with a son of 7 and one of 17 it was a relief the moment of departure ... so for our personal needs the Mythos was not a good choice.

Staff: very kind - Angelica makes the difference - except for a really rude cook I think of Indian nationality ... the request was for some white rice for the child ... as there was only with raisins ... to my specification that he didn't like it he also repeated me doing the caricature. Really unpleasantly whipped by his work.
