If I could give this incredible resort 10 stars I would. My experience at the Royal Myconian was nothing short of amazing. I own a travel agency and bought 8 amazing ladies along with me for a Greek adventure. Mykonos was our first stop and I'm glad it was. This portion of our trip set the tone for the 9 day journey we embarked upon. The customer service at the Royal was top notch. The front desk/concierge, restaurant, transportation, and room hospitality staff are some of the best I've encountered in my world travels. It is evident the Myconian properties are well managed. It is very apparent the in the design and upkeep of thier impeccable grounds, in their staff's approach to their individual roles and overall work ethic and the meticulous method in which they craft your luxurious stay from beginning to end. Everyone we encountered was pleasant, welcoming and genuinely happy to be of service. I'd especially like to highlight a few staff members who consistently went above and beyond for our group. Royal front desk staff: Jack, Katerina, Mariana, Iliana, Demetri (Imperial Doorman), Mahmood ( Transportation), Le (Villas poolside service) were exceptional and made us feel right at home. Our first night we had dinner at Camares (restaurant on the Royal property). What a time we had! The food, service, ambiance, live entertainment was a perfect introduction to Greek culture. There were at least 150 people dining at the time we were there and the staff created an atmosphere where we all felt like one big happy family. We sang together, danced together, broke plates together and had an unforgettable time. There were several amazing restaurants, lounges and bars on the property. The options were so plentiful, you need not venture off the resort for a delicious meal. They have you covered. The complimentary breakfast was excellent and had plenty options each morning. Our rooms were serviced promptly each day and kept impeccably clean and neat. We always had an abundance of warm towels, complimentary wine bottles each night and the beds were very comfortable. The location of where the guest rooms were in relation to the common areas of the resort easily lent themselves to quiet, relaxing nights after a long day of fun. I could say so much more about our experience. If you have the opportunity to visit the beautiful Greek island of Mykonos, make the Royal Myconian your choice for top notch accommodations and world class service. You won't regret it.

I recently stayed at the Myconian Royal Hotel and overall had a very enjoyable and relaxing holiday. The hotel is spacious, clean and beautifully situated in a peaceful location near Elia Beach. If you are looking to experience Mykonos without being in the middle of the busy party atmosphere of Mykonos Town, this is a great location. It is approximately a 30-minute drive from Mykonos Town. One of the hotel's great conveniences is the daily shuttle service during the season, which runs to Mykonos Town at 9am and 2pm, with a return journey approximately 3.5 hours later. This gives you plenty of time to explore Little Venice, do some shopping and sightseeing, see the famous windmills, and sample some of the local food. While in Little Venice, I would highly recommend Veranda. The food was delicious, the staff were friendly and the views of the windmills are fantastic, particularly if you sit upstairs. The Hotel & Facilities|The hotel has its own private beach, with a clean beach bar and toilets, and food and drinks are available throughout the day, including smoothies. There are also beach vendors who regularly approach guests offering bags, sarongs and bracelets, so this is something to be aware of if you prefer a completely uninterrupted beach experience. The hotel has several on-site clothing boutiques and a hair salon, which are useful additions. However, I do think there is a missed opportunity to have a small convenience shop selling everyday essentials such as crisps, chocolates, snacks, soft drinks and feminine hygiene products. Given the hotel's location, having these basic items available on-site would be particularly convenient and would save guests having to travel into Mykonos Town simply to purchase something they may have forgotten or need during their stay. It could also provide the hotel with an additional revenue stream. The swimming pool is fantastic and the pool area is very attractive. The breakfast staff were friendly and welcoming, although I felt the breakfast buffet could have offered a little more variety. There was a good selection of hot and cold continental-style breakfast items, but I would have liked to see more fresh fruit and options such as pancakes or avocado. Overall, it was perfectly adequate, but there is certainly room for improvement for a five-star property. The food throughout the hotel was excellent. I particularly recommend the baklava, mushroom ravioli, Greek salad and prawns. Room service was convenient and quick.|The restaurant and bar staff at lunchtime could, however, be a little more proactive. On occasions, male members of staff appeared more engaged in chatting amongst themselves or looking at their phones rather than attending to guests. This was noticeable because the female members of the team seemed to be doing a great deal of the work. The spa is small but very well maintained, and the staff were professional and well trained. If you are booking a room, I would recommend asking for one away from the pool. The rooms in the 500s have balconies with fantastic views across the sea and are particularly peaceful. The reception area has a lovely bar with comfortable seating and amazing views, making it a great place to relax in the evening. The front office team were professional, helpful and welcoming. I also have to mention the hotel cat! He regularly sits at the entrance welcoming guests and clearly runs the place. You will often find him wandering through reception, apparently checking that everything is in order. He is clearly very well cared for and was a lovely little addition to the hotel experience. I think the hotel could also benefit from having a library or quiet reading area. This is something I have seen other five-star hotels do very well and it would fit beautifully with the peaceful atmosphere of the property. A Note About Our Stay|The main issue during our stay was unfortunately something that significantly affected the first two nights.|There was a large Indian wedding party staying at the hotel during the same week, with approximately 100 guests. The celebrations lasted several days and included music, chanting and other festivities, on occasions continuing until around midnight sometimes later. The wedding guests also occupied a significant part of the hotel and, unfortunately, some were quite noisy when returning to their rooms late at night, often talking loudly in groups or on their mobile phones. As the rooms are not particularly soundproof, I did not sleep well during the first two nights and eventually had to contact the night staff. I felt the night team could have handled the situation more effectively and would benefit from additional customer-service training. I do feel the hotel should consider informing guests at the time of booking if a large wedding or private event is taking place, particularly when it is likely to have an impact on the pool area, noise levels and general atmosphere. On one afternoon, the pool area was also closed for the wedding party, and guests were not informed in advance. Better communication would have made a significant difference and would have allowed guests to make an informed choice about their dates. A Special Mention for Jack|Fortunately, the situation was handled exceptionally well once I spoke with Jack, the Front Office Manager. Jack was incredibly professional, understanding and customer-focused. He personally took me around several rooms so that I could find one that would be as peaceful as possible. Throughout the rest of my stay, whenever I passed through reception, he would check in with me and ask whether everything was okay.|His attitude was exactly what you would hope for from a five-star hotel manager. He genuinely cared about my experience and went above and beyond to resolve the problem. I cannot speak highly enough of Jack — he was an absolute pleasure to deal with and is a real asset to the hotel. Fortunately, after the room move, the remainder of my holiday was restful and thoroughly enjoyable. Overall|Despite the issues with the wedding party, I had a lovely stay at the Myconian Royal Hotel. The hotel itself is beautiful, peaceful and well maintained, the location near Elia Beach is excellent, the food is very good and most of the staff are welcoming and accommodating. With some improvements to breakfast variety, restaurant service, soundproofing and, most importantly, communication with guests about large private events, I think the hotel could make an already enjoyable experience even better.|For me, the standout was the combination of the peaceful location, beautiful sea views, excellent food and the exceptional service from Jack and the front office team. I would happily return — preferably during a quieter week!

Overall, I enjoyed my stay at Myconian. The staff are super friendly & welcoming. That makes the experience great! We stayed on the 4th floor. So a little stairs required to climb (if you have mobility challenges, please request for a floor that have direct lift access). The compound is beautiful! Especially the view from the balcony is really impressive. We got the room that gets to see the sunset by the sea. The room is clean. We bumped into the housekeeper & she really cleans (pull out all pillow case & blanket cover) everyday! They change the towels during the room clean up & sun down service. If you need a kettle, you have to request from the housekeeping. Water from tap is not drinkable. Only 2 bottles of water is provided per evening after 7pm. Otherwise, you have to use the mini bar or call for room service. Otherwise, it was a beautiful stay.

We had a wonderful stay at Royal Myconian hotel! The beautiful sunset view at the pool, the beach sun-beds, the food and the exceptional service from the staff made it truly special! Me and my family felt truly welcomed and looked after during our one week stay here. A big THANK YOU to Martha at breakfast reception for her warm welcome and kindness, and to Stephan, Mike and Jeff for their friendly and attentive service. To Muhammed, housekeeping staff who’s always helpful. To Yanni at the pool, who was always attentive and made our pool days even more enjoyable. And to Anderson from room service was excellent and made sure everything was taken care of perfectly! Thank you all for your hospitality and genuine care really stood out! We’re leaving Mykonos with beautiful memories and a little piece of our heart here. 💖✨

Pristine location, stunning hotel, professional attentive staff. We had a room that was very private down, lower in the property. It was wonderful. My only qualm is that, even though rooms are very nice and well cared for, there were a couple maintenance issues that I had to pester the staff for days to deal with (a very loud squeaky toilet room door). A hack for Mykonos is to rent a car from the airport. The price of a one-way Uber ride to our resort was equal to 3 days car rental of a small car. It's a tiny little island and it's fun to get around on your own. We rented a car through this hotel, which was convenient, but it was 2-3x the price of renting from the airport. Also, a little market called My Market Local is a super nice little store that is actually huge inside and has everything you could think of, including fresh produce, great prices on alcohol, some very nice cigars, and many other things. It'll save you a ton over purchasing everything through the hotel.

Exceptional setting and high-quality facilities, in keeping with a luxury hotel. Access to the various restaurants and swimming pools across the hotel group is also a real advantage. However, the staff were not particularly warm or welcoming and did not always meet the standards expected of a five-star hotel. The beach is very noisy due to the boat tours and towed inflatables operating throughout the day. There are also not enough sun loungers for the size of the hotel, and several parasols were either out of order or in poor condition. Overall, a pleasant stay thanks to the beautiful surroundings and excellent facilities, but the service and beach management need significant improvement to fully match the hotel’s price and five-star positioning.

There are beautiful hotels all over the world, but there is only one Royal Myconian. For Carter and me, this truly is our home away from home.|We were married here three years ago, so this magical place will always hold an incredibly special place in our hearts. We recently returned for another seven-night stay, and once again, the consistency, warmth and excellence were extraordinary.|From the moment we drive up, we are not simply welcomed as returning guests — we are welcomed like family. Cristina runs this hotel with an exceptional commitment to quality, and you can feel her influence in every detail and every interaction. The entire team has a remarkable ability to deliver true five-star service while still making everything feel warm, genuine and personal.|And then there is Stefanos, our wonderful bartender, whom we are now fortunate enough to call a friend. Seeing familiar faces like his each year is part of what makes returning so special. It is those relationships, as much as the spectacular setting, that make the Royal Myconian unlike anywhere else.|Perhaps the greatest compliment we can give is this: our niece recently married, and next week we are sending the newlyweds to “our place” for their honeymoon. We cannot imagine a more beautiful or meaningful place for them to begin their married life.|Thank you, Royal Myconian, for another unforgettable seven nights — and for continuing to be such a special part of our lives. There is simply nowhere else quite as magical. Until next time. |Love, Roman & Carter

We recently stayed at the Royal Myconian and organized a large kosher family event for around 200 guests. Our experience was simply exceptional from beginning to end. What impressed us most was the incredible level of service. Every single member of the team was welcoming, attentive and always smiling. Nothing ever felt like too much trouble. The attention to detail, generosity and genuine desire to make every moment special were remarkable. The food was another highlight. Organizing a fully kosher event of this size is not easy, yet the quality was outstanding throughout our stay. Everything was fresh, beautifully presented and genuinely delicious. For kosher travelers, it is also worth mentioning that eating kosher at the Myconian is surprisingly easy, and the quality is far beyond what you would normally expect from hotel kosher dining. We stayed in the Royal Suite, which was beautiful, extremely spacious and comfortable, with our own private pool and spectacular views. In fact, the entire property is stunning — almost every corner of the hotel offers an incredible view of the sea and Mykonos. Another huge advantage is having access to the different Myconian properties nearby. We loved being able to enjoy the different atmospheres, pools and restaurants at the Royal, Imperial, Avaton and Villa Collection. It really feels like having several luxury resorts within one experience. The private beach is also exceptional. It is beautifully set up and complimentary for hotel guests, with crystal-clear turquoise water and everything you need to spend a perfect day by the sea. A very special thank you to Christiana, who managed the organization of our event with incredible professionalism, patience and attention to every detail. She played a huge part in making this celebration so special for our family. We would also like to sincerely thank all the directors and the entire Royal Myconian team. The warmth and generosity we experienced throughout our stay were truly exceptional. And finally, a special mention to Panos, the owner, who is incredibly friendly, approachable and always smiling. It is quite unique to see an owner so present around the property, taking the time to speak with guests, share a moment and even offer a drink. That personal touch says a lot about the spirit of the Myconian. We came to Mykonos to celebrate a very important family event, and the Royal Myconian helped turn it into an unforgettable experience for us and our 200 guests. Beautiful hotel, spectacular location, amazing food, outstanding service and, above all, wonderful people. We cannot recommend the Royal Myconian highly enough and will definitely be back. Thank you for everything!
