We took quite a bit of time deciding which hotel to book in Mykonos, wanting something special and out of the town, but close enough that we could get there if we wanted to. We looked at all the Myconian properties and honestly couldn’t decide - as it turns out we really didn’t need to worry where we stayed! FYI - These hotels are about a 30 minute drive from Mykonos but the hotel puts on ample coaches to ferry people back and forth. Even it’s full, another will be along in minutes. The Hotel (s) - Firstly, the collection of hotels are all in a small bay, together and completely accessible to each other - literally connected! So you could easily spend your week there visiting a different hotel every day and enjoying the many restaurants and cuisines. And they are all designed in their own way but with the same exceptional level of quality and service as a given. - Villas, Utopia, Avaton, and Panoptis Escape all being the highest so having the best views - although honestly you’re spoilt for views wherever you stay! - We stayed in a Lovers Suite with Private pool which is HUGE! - We checked out the rooms at both Utopia (Heavenly Grand Retreat with Private Pool) and Panoptis Escape (Pool Suite) - we wanted to do this as we are 100% returning. They are also stunning and large rooms. (Panoptis being their newest and most exclusive property - if you’re looking for complete privacy then this hotel is for you). You can also get a helicopter in if that’s your thing and you’ve got the pennies! - For the gym bunnies, each hotel has its own gym with the Villas gym being the smallest but absolutely fine for what we needed - it has two treadmills, a spinning bike, rower and free weights. If you want to use another gym in a bigger setting it’s a 2 minute walk. Restaurants - All fabulous and the food exceptional - literally can’t pick a favourite and we could have stayed eating there another week! - All very different in terms of cuisine, style, setting and formality - both in terms of lunch and dinner. Portions are large so bear this in mind when ordering! Pools - They do pools SO well. Extremely comfortable beds - actual beds! They also cater well for people who don’t want to be in the sun which suited my husband and I perfectly with me being a sun worshipper and him needing all the shade. Check out the pics and you can see how well they do it - it changed our holiday with him being able to be outside all day and not just under an umbrella. - The pools aren’t heated and are salt water. When it’s windy on Mykonos the pools can be a little chilly but thankfully we only had 48 hours of wind. Overall: The Myconian collection hotels are family run and it’s clear that they have invested in these properties to be something different and unique with exceptional service and an overall fabulous experience as their overall objectives. The staff that work there are friendly, helpful, pro-active, but not intrusive. Right from the front of house to back
