Myconian Collection Hotels & Resorts Review

This is a super late post but it s for my summer 2017 stay. I was on a flight to Santorini that made a stop in Mykonos. There was a technical issue with the plane so airline brought us to this hotel late in the evening. It was the first time in my life where being delayed turned into a blessing. I was hoping the delay would last even longer. We were given a double room with convertible sofa for 2 adults and 1 kid. Our room was immaculate and gorgeous. We even had a private pool with the most breathtaking view! It was the type of room that was out of our budget . Next morning we went to breakfast and was blown away at the vast selection of high quality food! There was honey dripping from a honeycomb, champagne and other delicious items. We laid by pool that had incredible views. That s when we were awaken from the dream and were sadly informed that our plane would be departing soon and we should be ready to head back to the airport . If you can afford this place, it s paradise that is waiting for you! Unfortunately we will most likely not experience it again since it s out of our budget!!

The room and hotel are beautifully decorated. The staff are very friendly. For these areas it's worthy of 5 star. Where it falls short is a range of factors. The location is 30 minutes from Mykonos Town, but a free shuttle bus is offered. This in itself is fairly good, but the lack of basic facilities such as a supermarket in Elia is frustrating. And even in Mykonos Town you are limited to basic mini markets with limited choice, unless you have a car. The food is inconsistent, but mostly good. The breakfasts have a fair selection some of which is very good, but lacks options such as a choice of omelettes or poached eggs. This extra range is what we've come to expect at other 5 and even 4 star quality hotels. The other food is extortionate. A burger is 25 which is double what you would pay for the best London has to offer. It was greasy, over cooked and lacked flavour. The grease was literally streaming out of the burger into a pool and didn't look good and neither did my stomach feel good after it. The water is a massive complaint. 5 per litre bottle with no other option near by is extortion of basic human needs. Add up the c3-5 litres you should drink a day per person for a day in the sun and you could be spending 50 a day for a couple just for water. By way of comparison we picked up 9 litres for 6 in Mykonos Town and even that is high for usual European options. The gym is tiny, it could fit maybe 4-5 people at a maximum. It seems a terrible use of space when there is so much spa space used on indoor pools that are almost always unused. A 3 overall does still seem somewhat harsh as many aspects are easily 5 star, but Mykonos itself has failed to impress and a lack of basic provisions really does make a difference. From the first 7 nights we had 2 fairly good meals and 5 that could easily go down as some of the worst meals of our life. One of which gave us food poisoning. Mykonos Town is also often crowded and claustrophobic. When it's not it is lovely, but every space has been packed with a business or restaurant and it can all get a bit much. For this hotel to achieve 5 stars it really needs to sort out its pricing, supply of basic provisions with a mini market in Elia and help guide guests with a recommended list of restaurants in Mykonos Town or otherwise arrange other local options. Using Trip Adviser doesn't cut it, believe me we tried and as I said the best rated were some of the worst meals of our life. Also, some options on entertainment would be great. Again some recommendations/ guidance, or even a supply of water sports equipment for example. Again many 5 stars offer this and for such a secluded hotel with no where to walk this would really help.

Amazing experience. Wish I could stay here for ever! Great venue, great location and amazing people. This is probably what Mount Olympus is like...

I stayed here for my honeymoon, they upgraded our room to this beautiful villa with private pool. I can t describe how great was the service, how friendly and helpful is the staff! Facilities from the restaurants to the pool was more than perfect. The hotel doesn t allow non-residents which I see is a plus to maintain good crowd. Amazing food by the pool, also don t forget to try the greek restaurant in the royal hotel (part of the hotel s group which is five hotels with a private beach (Elia beach) and private separate pools). Highly recommended. Note that it is 20 mins drive to the downtown.

One of the best experiences we ve ever had. Not only the place is fantastic but the People at the hotel were incredible friendly and welcoming, we were treated like kings and queens by Everyone at the hotel, what an amazing feeling. I highly recommend this place especially if it s your honeymoon.

One of my favourite hotels I have ever been to. The food is amazing. The decor is modern-elegant. Their Spa is the perfect spot to relax after a long day at the beach. They have a beach section specifically for the hotel guests. You can either walk down the hill to get there or they also have a little bus that takes you up and down the hill. Also, it is 30mins away from Mykonos town, but they have coach busses to take you into town every hour. Would love to make it back to this hotel! It is truly spectacular.

A place that I could only suggest to people. Perfect view from the rooms. Food was super. The personnel was very kind and ready to help every moment.

Amazing is the word! Wonderfull place! Best beach and what a nice staff.

I have been with family second time in Mykonos. first tim in this hotel. I well be back .
