CANVAS by Mitsis Messonghi (ex. Messonghi Beach)

Wow! What a fantastic place. Have had an amazing time here. Food is great, pizza, sandwich and pasta bar was brilliant. Saves having to go inside to the restuarant as it was very busy. Sunbed situation was stressing me out so ended up bringing inflatable sun loungers and umbrellas and sitting on the grass which was sooo chill! No way I was getting up at stupid o clock on my holidays!😂 would defo recommend doing that as they were so much more comfortable and could be moved about. All the staff were super friendly and worked so hard with a smile on their face each day and are a credit to the hotel 😍 Best part of the holiday was getting a free upgrade to a Seaview bungalow as well! It really made our holiday as im not a great sleeper and it was so quiet down at the front at night and im so grateful to the hotel for this 🙌 The bungalows are unreal, beautiful views over the aegean sea 😍 I will 100% come back here one day. I cant fault it and we call had a lovely time . Thank you xx

Gemma from te U.S was friendly, professional and hard working. Thank you.

The hotel is really good. Animators Maty and Janek are the goats. Football with them is the best experience here.

Set on messonghi beach massive complex very suitable for families not so much for adults entertainment in the evening which was pretty good but finding a seat was difficult nay impossible stayed on 5th floor overlooking garden no problem with lifts food was surprisingly good value for money unfortunately the beach/pool sunbed situation not so good towels left overnight to save beds had to up at silly o’clock to nab a bed not great

Loved the Pilates classes with Panos at the gym

We had an amazing 10 nights at this hotel. It was very clean and the staff were very welcoming, especially at the beach river bar where we spent most of the holiday. Alexandros and Georgia were both amazing and made our experience very enjoyable. We would definitely recommend this hotel and would love to return soon.

If I could give 0 stars I would. ⭐ Hotel Review Takeaway: This stay was overwhelmingly negative due to unsanitary conditions, repeated room issues, misleading staff behavior, and hours of lost holiday time trying to resolve problems. 🛏️ Overall Experience My stay at this hotel was deeply disappointing and far below the standard any traveler should expect. Instead of enjoying a holiday, I spent countless hours dealing with room changes, reporting issues, and trying to get basic concerns addressed. 🚫 Room Quality & Cleanliness - Unsanitary conditions throughout the property, including visible dirt, poor hygiene standards, and a general lack of upkeep. - Infestations of bugs in the room, which made it impossible to feel comfortable or safe. - Sewage spilling into the room — an unacceptable and hazardous situation that should never occur in a functioning hotel. - The room I was given was not the category I booked; it was a clear downgrade with none of the features I paid for. 🍽️ Food & Dining - The dining area was unsanitary and unpleasant. - Food quality was extremely poor, and the service was consistently rude or dismissive. - The overall environment made eating there feel unsafe and uncomfortable. 🧑‍💼 Customer Service & Staff Conduct - Staff repeatedly gave incorrect or misleading information, including false claims that I “did not want to be contacted” by Jet2 customer service. - Several interactions felt unethical, dismissive, or intentionally obstructive. - Despite providing photos, reports, and spending hours trying to resolve issues, staff failed to take meaningful action. ✈️ Travel Impact - Jet2 provided wrong information about the flight location, forcing me to rebook a new flight through another company at additional cost. - This added unnecessary stress and financial burden to an already ruined holiday. ⏱️ Time Lost Instead of relaxing, I spent a significant portion of my trip: - Calling for room changes - Reporting issues - Speaking with staff - Trying to get basic problems resolved This was not a holiday — it was a series of avoidable problems caused by poor management and unacceptable standards. ⭐ Final Verdict I cannot recommend this hotel under any circumstances. The combination of unsanitary conditions, downgraded room, infestations, sewage issues, unethical staff behavior, and incorrect travel information resulted in one of the worst travel experiences I've ever had

Great hospitality, very good hotel, unbeatable price-to-quality balance. Second year in a row we spend our vacations here and still very pleased

Nice view, good food, very clean, perfect pool

This hotel is massive however check in was quick and easy. On our first night we were in a separate building to our children which was clearly unacceptable but it was quickly resolved the following day. Thank you to Reine and Michael at rec eption for arranging. The hotel grounds are spectacular. Lots of trees and nature and very blended into the environment. Reusable drinking cups etc. Our room exceeded our expectation ( ( as we'd looked at the reviews). The food is bog standard although I personally found the fresh salads to be superb. The alcohol is, again, like other all inclusives... Fine. The staff are all lovely, the grounds are beautiful, our air conditioning was perfect and getting loungers by beach was easy if you get up at 6.30....which I'd recommend on account of the beautiful sunrise. The views from the beach are world class and the wayer is shallow and safe with lots of fish to see. I didn't even bother with the pools as the beach was so good although bring pool shoes as its stony. Nice wee town beside the resort for meals etc if yoh fancy a change and we did trips into corfu, Albania and the blue lagoon. An amazing holiday and a great hotel.

This was our first family holiday so we really enjoyed every moment and every day, all the staff from Bars and Restaurants were exceptionals and done the extra mile for us, Christoforos especially, Reception ladies very helpful at all times Ioanna and Eleni they were lovely and made our stay so nice and comfortable, many thanks to all again, really lovely holidays, we will be back 🙂🙂.

This is our second visit to this hotel, the first time we loved it however this time has been even better. We stayed in a river view room (the building closest to the river) as these tend to be the nicer rooms we’ve found. The rooms were comfortable and made clean everyday. We spent every day on the beach, we managed to get good spaces by putting towels out at 7:30am. We spent the day near the river side beach bar with Georgia and Alex who looked after us amazingly. The food was different everyday with fish and meat and cuisines from different countries. There was also repeat items I assume for fussy eaters including soup, chips and spaghetti bolognaise. I never went hungry. There is also pizza and pasta at one side of the beach and sandwiches at the other that are all lovely. We also ate at the beach restaurant which tended to be less busy than the main restaurant. We didn’t go to any of the entertainment but opted to sit at the bar by the river side hotel to relax or a walk into town either side of the hotel. There’s a €1 boat that takes you across the river to a lovely bar that takes care of the stray cat population. Or the town the other side of the hotel with an elvis bar if you fancy some wild entertainment and cocktails. Or the first bar after the beach restaurant which is lovely in an evening. Overall would happily come back but definitely will be going for the river side again

One of the nicest holidays we've had, beautiful location (we had a beach front bungalow) all staff are extremely friendly and helpful, we were here for our anniversary and they made it one we will always remember with a beautiful private candlelight dinner on the beach front, with beautiful views and food to die for. Thank you to the whole team, Eleni, George, Chef, (too many to name, and all were fantastic) for a magical, memorable holiday that we will always remember 10/10⭐️

unfortunately we have had a horrible experience in this hotel, which has ruined our trip to greece :(. the staff were unwelcoming and kept making snide comments and following us when were were in the beach shop (which other customers did not like experience) I would urge other poc to look elsewhere

The best holiday experience I have experienced, the hotel accommodation was luxury, the staff were very friendly and kind, the food was amazing, will definitely come again.

Food Luke warm in the main restaurant at lunch time. There are no disabled toilets. There's only 2 toilets on the beach. Which are filthy worst mitis hotel.

Amazing trampoline class with Panos! Great instructor all round for beginners and for experienced class members!

Really enjoyed the trampoline workout with Panos!

Hotel is a bit dated but ok.for a pretty cheap holiday you pay for what you get so don't expect 5star. Plus points are nice grounds and close to a shingle beach which is littered with cigarette buts. I was always up about 7am to get a sunbed on the beach. Breakfast and dinner were lacking a bit of choice but was something for everyone but food was always like warm Worst part of the holiday was the most miserable barmen I've known we're at the beach bar,nickos and dorian.rude and never see them smiling. Also the queuing system for the beach bar was a free for all.the rooms were ok but dated and need a refurbishment. Bed were terrible with a big dip in middle of mine and lumps in the mattress of my wife's bed.overall an average hotel

Lovely location, right on the beach and it’s so shallow, I recommend beach shoes as it’s more shale than sand, but still beautiful. Entertainment is for the French audience barely any English spoken, that is probably my only negative as it would have been nice to be included. We are a party of 9 so had 4 rooms and although dated, we wasn’t concerned as not spent much time in them. The staff do a wonderful job of keeping the place clean even mopping around the pools first thing in the morning. As for the bars yes there are queues but isn’t there at all of them. You can also use the self serve larger and wine upstairs in restaurants 24 hrs. We have loved the place and would come back I have nothing negative to say about the hotel, food or staff all amazing, and with 9 of us to please this hotel was amazing. Also thought for the price you can’t go wrong.
