We spent 6 nights as a group of 5 friends celebrating our belated 50th birthdays. We had originally booked to go in 2020 but had to delay it twice due to Covid. The communication throughout that time was excellent. The stand out thing for us, from the minute we arrived was the staff . They're all so friendly and literally can not do enough for you. The hotel has only 17 rooms/suites & is split over 4 levels . Possibly not for you if stairs & steepish climbs are not your thing. Also there is no footpath outside the hotel for part of the walk to mykonos town . Even though we did it ourselves everyday , it's not the safest . We had 2 great air-conditioned suites next to each other on the 2nd level with a massive terrace in front that was all ours, with 4 sunloungers and a giant sofa. There were also 2 umbrellas . But it's not always possible to put them up as the island is very windy a lot of the time . The view from the terrace, out to sea was amazing. Every evening you get to watch the sunset. During the day it was so peaceful . Most of the other guests seemed to go out all day so we had the beautiful infinity pool to ourselves . It's not heated but once you got in , it was lovely. Breakfast was also a real bonus , in that you could have as much of anything as you wanted and it was available until 11:30am ! They also have a lunch/dinner menu & everything we had from that was really tasty,especially the caesar salad & the risotto . There is only a tiny beach in mykonos town , not really suitable to spend the day as it doesn't have any sunbeds or umbrellas... but does have lots of seagulls & pigeons . The hotel can arrange transport to take you anywhere . They got us a ride, €40 each way, to Platys Gyalos , a beautiful beach with luxury loungers to hire (€40 for 2 & an umbrella + a minimum spend of €40 at the bar ) Bring your credit card , as nothing in Mykonos is cheap! The Apenema however, was great value for money , given the ideal location & fantastic service . Many thanks to George, Nena & the rest of the Apanema team for ensuring our stay was perfect.
