Kionia Beach

We had a wonderful stay at Rocabella Mykonos. It’s stylish, luxurious and the pool area is lovely. One thing I really appreciated was that there was none of the usual sunbed-saving nonsense. There always seemed to be loungers available, which made it feel much more relaxed. The hotel is on a hill, so it’s worth knowing the nearest shop is around a 10–15 minute walk away, downhill going there and uphill coming back, with no proper footpath. A taxi into Mykonos Town is also around €60 return, so you can feel quite dependent on the hotel. There is a small hotel shop, but it’s mainly spa-style items. I really wish they sold a few basic holiday essentials like sunscreen, snacks, crisps, chocolate and canned soft drinks. At the moment, if you want a drink or nibble, you’re generally buying it from the bar or restaurant. That’s honestly my only real criticism. The hotel itself is fabulous. And a very funny bonus: there’s a two-way mirror near the villas, so watching people take selfies in it without realising villa guests can see them perfectly clearly has been hilarious. 😂

We were upgraded to a double room with a nice patio and overview of the pool and port. Beautiful grounds with staff onsite 24/7. Felt very safe to commute from hotel to Old Town, approximately 20-minute walk. Hotel is very close to the New Port but is almost impossible to walk with luggage's, all up hill and not much of any sidewalks. Hotel offers transportation for an extra charge.
