The hype
Guests are blown away by the aesthetics, sunset views, and breakfast, but many feel the service doesn't always match the astronomical price tag.

Waarom mensen ervan houden
- The iconic 38m infinity pool with floating sunbeds that defines Mykonos luxury
- Cave Pool Suites that are arguably the most famous hotel rooms on social media
- Walking distance to Mykonos Town (Chora) without being right in the crush
Snel Overzicht: A stunning, scene-y playground where you pay for the vibe and the view, but privacy and peace are optional extras.
Beoordeeld door @AngieVilla: I stayed in the Cave Suite and honestly, swimming into the sunset from my private grotto was the most surreal experience of my life. It's pricey but absolutely worth it for a special occasion.
Gast die hier verbleef zei
Reality check
The '24/7' shuttle can be unreliable with long waits, and the concierge is frequently described as aloof or unhelpful unless you're a VIP.
- You thrive in high-energy, social environments where people-watching is the main activity
- You want that specific 'Cave Pool' photo for your feed
- You plan to party in town and want a stylish crash pad nearby
Schoonmaak & Onderhoud
8.8
- Housekeeping: Generally thorough with twice-daily service, though some reports of missed details during peak season.
- Bathroom hygiene: Mostly pristine marble, but occasional complaints about unstable faucets or slow drains in older rooms.
- Maintenance: High traffic means wear and tear shows fast; watch for scuffed paint or 'tired' outdoor furniture.
- Linens & towels: High quality, plush, and plentiful.
- Odors & scents: Signature hotel scent in lobby; occasional whiff of exhaust near the entrance or mustiness in cave rooms.

Veelgestelde vragen & Verborgen tips
Alles wat je eigenlijk wilt weten voordat je boekt.
Is the Cave Pool worth the money?
For the photo? Yes. For the stay? Maybe not—they can be dark, damp, and offer less privacy than you'd think.
How far is the walk to town?
About 10-15 minutes downhill to the Old Port, but the walk back is steep and on a dangerous road. Take the shuttle.
Is breakfast included?
Yes, and it's widely considered one of the best on the island, with a massive buffet and à la carte options.
Can I use the pool if I'm not a guest?
Generally no, unless you have a reservation at the Zuma or Meraki restaurant, and even then, pool access is strict.
Is it kid-friendly?
Technically yes, but there are no kids' clubs or activities, and the vibe is very much 'adult party'.
Does the hotel have a gym?
Yes, but it's small, located in the basement with no windows, and often described as an afterthought.
Tips van Insiders
- ✨
The 'free' shuttle to town runs on demand, but during peak hours (7-9 PM), you might wait 30+ minutes. Walking is faster if you're brave.
- ✨
Order drinks at the bar yourself rather than waiting for pool service if you want them in under 20 minutes.
- ✨
The best sunset view isn't from the pool (which gets crowded), but from the upper-level corridors near the suites.

💡The 'private' pools in some ground-floor suites are visible from the walkways above.
💡You might find cruise ships parked directly in your sea view depending on the day.
💡The 'aquarium' bar is cool, but the fish tank maintenance can sometimes smell fishy near the lobby.
💡Room service prices are even higher than the restaurant prices—expect to pay €50+ for a club sandwich.
💡The AC in some older rooms struggles to keep up with the July heat.
