I will start with the good things about this hotel. No brainer it's the staff. Our room was spotlessly clean every day by Dominica who was a ray of sunshine. Clean towels every day, bottled water and toiletries were replenished too. Our thanks go to Vivienne, Stephen and Dimitri who worked every day with smiles and couldn't do enough for you around the pool/ restaurant.The girls in reception were very friendly and helpful, although we thought on check out asking if we wanted to add a tip to our bill for the reception team was a bit much!! No, we tipped by cash to those who we felt deserved it. The pool is lovely, comfortable loungers but they get taken early so get down there. Also pool towels are available. Breakfast - nice choice, something for everyone, lovely coffee. On a previous review someone said no toaster...yes there is one now. Decent supermarket literally 2 minutes away and 2 decent restaurants, Philotimo and oregano. Lovely beach at Kalo Livadi about 15 minutes away. Sandy beach with clear water. You can sit anywhere on the public beach or pay a hefty charge for loungers but highly recommend. Mykonos town was lovely, good choice for shopping and restaurants/bars. Now not so good - location. The hotel is 50 metres from a very busy and dangerous T-junction. The road to the town is very steep and winding with no pavements. Don't be fooled into thinking you will be able to safely walk it in 10-15 minutes. The road is very busy. Forget attempting to walk back. Taxis are expensive minimum 45/50 euros each way to and from airport for a short journey. Huge tip download i-move Mykonos for the local Uber type app. We waited no more than 2 minutes every time. Drivers were great and better value. Just to be clear before we booked we knew the hotel was at the top of a hill but on reflection we weren't prepared for the high cost of transport to get about.The hotel is literally under the flight path out of the airport...very noisy at times.. last flight is after midnight. Constant flights all day. We thought the hotel restaurant prices were high (same as most in town) but portion size and quality good although menu doesn't change. Shame but the waiting staff some nights had not alot to do because the restaurant is expensive and lacks atmosphere because it is also the breakfast room and people just don't eat there because no effort is made to make it look like an evening venue - no change from breakfast and/or lunch. The bar is in the breakfast room too not very appealing to spend an evening there. Introduce happy hour do something!! Get some comfortable chairs!! Also this hotel is really not suitable for older children/teenagers as there is NOTHING for them here apart from the pool. Now to our first room. I attach some photos of room 205 - superior double town and sea view. As you will see what town view? You can just about see the sea but we had a not so lovely view to the right which was a water bo
