Por qué a la gente le encanta
- Panoramic views of Elia Beach that look exactly like the postcards
- Massive saltwater pool deck that feels like a social hub, not just a place to swim
- Exceptional breakfast buffet with live harp music and endless Greek yogurt options
Resumen rápido: A grand, theatrical resort that delivers on luxury visuals but occasionally stumbles on practical details like rusty gym gear and wet-room bathroom floods.
Reseñado por @Michaela_romanosmith: I felt like royalty staying here. The energy at the pool is perfect, but my favorite part was the Greek night—we smashed plates and danced for hours! The suite was huge, and having coffee on that private terrace with the sea breeze was the ultimate morning ritual.
Lo que dijeron los huéspedes que se hospedaron aquí
Reality check
The location is isolated (25 mins to town), and while the shuttle is convenient, relying on it or expensive taxis (€40-55) can feel trapping.
- You prioritize ocean views above all else
- You want a resort vibe where you don't *have* to leave the property
- You enjoy a high-energy pool scene that isn't a full-blown nightclub

Preguntas frecuentes y consejos ocultos

Is the shuttle to Mykonos Town free?
Mostly yes. Reviews cite a free shuttle service, but policies can fluctuate seasonally. Always confirm the current schedule at check-in to avoid taxi shock.
Is the pool heated?
The main outdoor saltwater pool is seasonal and typically unheated (refreshing in July, chilly in May/October). The indoor thalassotherapy pool is heated.
Are the private pools in suites heated?
No. Private plunge pools are generally unheated and can be quite cold, especially in the shoulder season.
Is breakfast included?
Yes, a lavish buffet breakfast at Ambrosia is included for all guests and is widely considered a highlight of the stay.
Can I walk to the beach?
Yes, it's a short but steep walk down. The hotel provides a shuttle if you don't want to hike back up the hill.
Is there a resort fee?
No explicit 'resort fee', but the €15/night city tax functions like one. You also pay for airport transfers.
Consejos de Insiders
- ✨
The 'Thalassotherapy' session in the spa is often free for guests once per day—ask about it at check-in, they don't always advertise it.
- ✨
The wind on the pool deck can be intense; grab a cabana early in the morning for some shelter.
- ✨
Order the 'Greek plate smashing' dinner experience at Camares for a fun, if touristy, night in.
5 cosas que debes saber antes de ir
💡The 'open plan' bathroom design in suites is a major complaint—water literally runs into the bedroom.
💡Gym equipment is reportedly rusty and aging, shocking for a hotel of this caliber.
💡You can use the facilities (pools/restaurants) of the sister properties nearby, expanding your dining options.
💡The 'private beach' section can get overcrowded by noon; go before 10 AM to snag a front-row lounger.
💡Room service staff will set up a candlelit dinner on your balcony, which is often better value than the crowded restaurants.
