Just returned from a fantastic trip to Mykonos. The town is absolutely beautiful, and our stay at the Myconian Korali was exceptional — highly recommended. We travelled as a couple on a bed & breakfast basis. Arriving at the hotel quite late, we were greeted by extremely friendly and helpful reception staff who took the time to explain the surrounding area and gave us a brief tour of the hotel. We were quite tired and mainly just wanted to drop our bags and head for a drink, but it was still a lovely welcome and much appreciated. Our room was very comfortable and well maintained, with a stunning sea view from the balcony. We spent most of our days relaxing by the pool and were very well looked after by all the staff — in particular, Panagiotis and Giorgos (apologies if I’ve misspelt the names), who were consistently attentive and seemed to genuinely enjoy what they do. The same goes for Mariana. Then Maria in the restaurant/kitchen area, whose warm and cheerful attitude really added to the experience and made everyone smile. The hotel itself is boutique in size, which we really liked. It was peaceful, with just enough background music to create a relaxed atmosphere — although it did become a little repetitive at times, but nothing that detracted from the stay. In terms of location, it’s ideal for Mykonos Town, which is about a 10-minute walk away. The road isn’t the easiest, as it’s narrow with fast-moving cars, scooters, and buses, and there’s no proper pavement. The hotel does offer transfers into town for around 15 euros, but given the short distance, we chose to walk and save money. That said, taxis back from town are noticeably more expensive, so I’d recommend avoiding them if possible. One final tip: when exploring Mykonos Town, ladies (and anyone really!) are better off wearing flat sandals or pumps. Heels are doable — I tried them myself — but the uneven surfaces and bumps make walking a bit tricky

“Amazing hotel”

Amazing experience! The staff are incredible and so attentive. Everywhere is immaculately clean and the food/drink was great. Will definitely be back!

“5-star luxury property outside Mykonos Town”

Beautiful complex of 3 interconnected hotels. You can use facilities at any of the 3. The style is modern. I had a large well-appointed room with a balcony and lovely view of the bay.

Beautiful complex of 3 interconnected hotels. You can use facilities at any of the 3. The style is modern. I had a large well-appointed room with a balcony and lovely view of the bay. The room had a lot of storage space with shelves and drawers. I loved the strong rain head shower. Some units had private unheated infinity pools (not mine). The grounds are lovely. The breakfast buffet was fabulous. To top it off, the service was outstanding. The only downside is that it is not an easy walk from the hotel into Mykonos Town, due to steep, winding, indirect roads. It is not "steps away" from town as claimed on the web site. They do not provide shuttle service. You need a taxi or rental car or motorbike.

“Very luxurious and close to Mykonos Town”

We stayed in May and loved our time at the hotel. Pickup from Ferry Port was easy to arrange, on time, friendly and comfortable. Check-in was very friendly and efficient, and the team was all very smiley and friendly. We had bid in advance for an upgrade, but on arrival, we had been upgraded further to a huge suite. This was a massive surprise, and we were very blown away with how lovely it all was. We had Armonia suite with a lounge, two bathrooms, and a huge terrace. The bed was super comfortable, and we had superb sleeps. The hot tub reset itself on day 2, and we had to report it. It again lost pressure and warmth (just as we needed it as the weather had turned a touch cloudy) so this was a shame as we had specifically wanted a warm jacuzzi in the event of inclement weather. We had a turndown, which was lovely to come back to. Food and drink Breakfast was superb. The best Greek yoghurt ajd honey i have ever had. Beautiful smoked salmon and scrambled eggs. Pastries, meats cheeses and bread along with bacon mushrooms, etc. Everything you could need. We dined at Noa at Kyma on the first evening. The first impressions were it was a touch on the expensive side. Food was delicious (taramasalata and open pie being particularly good). The portions were big, so they probably could have shared a starter, and this did make the prices justifiable. Pools. We did both pools at Kyma ahd Korali. I preferred the Kyma pool. Has a jacuzzi, long pool, and side pool. Felt more like you could enjoy yourself there, whereas the korali pool felt a little stilted. Why the hotel doesn't get 5 stars Pool/dining service. There's clearly a hierarchy, some girls are only allowed to plump cushions and maybe fetch water, others are allowed to take drink orders, I think give everyone some autonomy. If you're asking them to walk round checking on guests, give them the ability to take orders! Pool area at korali was overly fussy. Considering it was windy, they persevered with cotton napkins and drinks mats. If you just wanted a drink, they removed everything else from the table only to put it back again. This is clearly a management specification, but it doesn't make you feel like popping to the bar for a drink to get away from the bed/sun. The setup at kyma was a touch more practical for this, and I felt far more relaxed there. Same with breakfast service. Junior members were allowed to pour water and coffee. Other orders were taken by middle ranking employees. The last breakfast service was chaos due to the rain and everyone descending at the same time. One of the managers took our drinks order then nothing appeared and we asked another member of staff. No major issue, but perhaps less faffing and refine the ordering system. Potentially, it was due to it being early season. The other huge gripe is QR code for the menu. So for instance, you look at one menu for food, one for snacks/beer, and the wine is on a totally separate menu. I dont want to be wedded to my phone. I want to see a pool menu that has snacks and a selection of drinks. I would also like to see a carafe of local wine being made available. I understand this is to prevent printed menus and aid sustainability, but one menu or iPad nearby should do the trick. Overall I think the staff all work incredibly hard, they are all friendly and want to help. They have to put up with quite a lot of entitled and rude behaviour and they do so with grace. Thank you all.
