Choosing a hotel in Mykonos is no easy task! Based on reviews here, we went ahead with Mykonos Grace.
Here are the plus points:
1. The staff is fantastic. Every effort is made to help you out. Their restaurant suggestions are bang on ( Aqua - the best Italian ever, it made the most sublime spaghetti with tomato sauce upon request; Solygar - amazing place by the beach - make a day of it; Nobu - absolutely enchanting and the little tavern down from the hotel.)
2. The location is great. Plus they offer a ride to Mykonos town whenever you want.
3. The view is amazing.
4. Breakfast was great - it was included and was the only meal we actually had in the hotel - for the first time ever, our hotel bill was just room tarrif!
A few cautions -
1. For me it was a case of unrealistic expectations, once I adjusted them, it was fine. It is a small boutique hotel, don't expect the world! At the first instance, the property is slightly underwhelming. Thankfully we had a massive private terrace. it made up for the sparse (unimaginative?) décor of the room itself.
2. The wooden shutters were on the outside, so opening them in the morning meant getting up, grabbing a robe, going out to open the windows!! the lights kept acting up. With a power surge the entire room was lit up - at 4 in the morning and then again at 5!!
3. Psychologically one expects more for what one pays for the hotel. But then soon one realises that Mykonos is EXPENSIVE!
A few tips....
1. Be prepared for the wind. Its is very much a constant feature. Ladies, your scrunchie is your best friend!!
2. Pace your self...
3. Sit down when the next Amex bill arrives... but at least you went down in style!!
The Mykonos Grace is a lovely, intimate property. It suits the character of the island. No bells and whistles, but provides a pleasant, uncomplicated, beautifully run place to lay down your head after a long night partying..... which is precisely what you need.
