The staff were friendly and very helpful. We had two stays in the hotel within a week as we booked a few extra days. The dining options were excellent and the rooms we had were both lovely. Also noteworthy was the spa. The ladies were very nice and I enjoyed my pedicure. The hotel was very clean and well maintained. Hope to visit again soon.

The staff was incredibly kind and professional. We went for part of our honeymoon and offer the dinner as complimentary. There are some mosquitoes and bees in the room because the independent pool is surrounded by tree but, we had plug in repellent that we brought which was useful. The buffet quality and staff from dining was awesome.

New name still the great quality as before.

We last stayed here when it was called the Elysium. Then it was superb hence the easy choice for returning. Barring a door key issue that was resolved easily enough everything has been perfect. The food here is really good, breakfast is buffet but high in quality. The dinner we had here the food was plentiful and again buffet. Drinks are good quality too. Another great stay this time we picked a designer room with a pool. Just brilliant. Good quality for a fair price. We will be back again. They upgraded the sun loungers to proper comfortable ones and the umbrellas are also changed. Barring that it’s the same great service and quality your money deserves!

Nothing was too much trouble for them and they really made the stay memorable. Restaurants were great with plenty of choice.

We have just finished our 2 week honeymoon at Nema. We had the King and Queen treatments at Nema’s spa which had been a gift from my sister, this was a great surprise when checking in and was incredible, the spa itself is beautiful and so relaxing. The hotel is lovely, clean and modern and we were so happy with our room (design independent with private pool) what made our stay even better was the hospitality from staff members, they truly made our experience and were so helpful. A special mention to Odysseas, Soumaya, Nikos, Rustiv, Paris, Marianthis and Mandrin - they really make Nema what it is and add to the experience of the hotel - all staff mentioned went above and beyond to make our stay great! So friendly and approachable with no ask too big or small. I hope they are recognised for the large impact they have on all guests who stay with Nema! Last but not least the food, the food was incredible - everything in Rizes was cooked to perfection and was beautifully served. The breakfast and dinner buffets were amazing and each evening there was a different theme with an array of dishes to try. We really loved Cretan night and the live music! I would recommend Nema Design and Spa to anyone, it was such a great way to spend our honeymoon!

We booked the hotel and paid a lots for getting all inclusive hotel bit when we arrived after the first day we had to pay for things you drink and eat at the restaurants and pool bar.. like paying for sparkling water! For non and alcoholic drinks, and we can't order food at the pool menu, only by paying extra charge!!! They have a samll menu and they telling you that u can order free from there and there is a little few drinks, and thats it! I call it FULL BOARD and not an all inclusive hotel! Also, I booked them and choose the option ti oay when arriving to the hotel and they keep sending me emails and sms that i must pay 2 weeks before i come, if not they will cancel our reservation... A shameful service and experience with that hotel, definitely will be our first and last time there!!
