Before you book
Good to know
- The hotel is near the New Port (Tourlos), not the Old Port—great for ferry arrivals but requires a transfer to town.
- Taxis to Mykonos Town are a flat-rate rip-off (often €30-40 for a 10-min ride); rent an ATV or car if you plan to explore.
- Breakfast is excellent and often includes à la carte options—don't skip it.
What to pack
- Earplugs for the pool music if you nap during the day
- A portable speaker is NOT needed—the hotel provides the soundtrack
Room Genie
Best picks
- Sublime Suite Sea View (Upper Floor) for better privacy and unobstructed sunset views
- Upbeat Retreat for a solid entry-level option that still feels luxe
Rooms to avoid
- Ground floor 'Pure Haven' suites if you want skinny-dipping privacy—they are exposed to walkways
- Rooms directly facing the pool bar if you are sensitive to bass
Room Request Genie – copy & paste
“I am celebrating a special occasion and would love a room on an upper floor (Sublime Suite preferred) to ensure privacy on the balcony. Please avoid ground-floor units where the pool is visible from public walkways.”
