Thanos Beach

Our stay at Mykonos Essence Hotel was wonderful! The staff were super friendly, the pool was great, and it’s just a 6-minute walk to Ornos Beach (a bit of a workout coming back uphill, but we didn’t mind!). Only downside — the lights on the A/C unit are really bright at night, so bring an eye mask if you're a light sleeper. Aside from that, a great hotel and stay overall!

If you’re on the fence about staying here — PLEASE READ THIS! This hotel is absolute luxury. We traveled from the U.S. with our two kids (ages 6 and 2), and this was hands down one of the most memorable hotel experiences we’ve ever had. From the moment we landed, the service was flawless. As soon as we stepped into the hotel — WOW. Pure luxury, pristine cleanliness, and a view that literally took our breath away. Mary at the front desk and Eleni from guest relations welcomed us so warmly, making check-in a breeze. Our grand suite with a private pool was ready within the hour. The room itself was stunning — spacious, beautifully designed, with a full-size bed and crib already set up for our toddler. We honestly didn’t want to leave the room — that’s how gorgeous and serene it was. The entire property is meticulously maintained. You can feel how much pride the staff takes in keeping everything immaculate. They also offer a golf cart shuttle to take you anywhere on the grounds, which was super convenient with kids. What sets this hotel apart is its intimacy. Unlike large resorts where you’re just another guest, here you’re treated like royalty. The owner — an absolute gem of a woman — was so gracious and thoughtful. One evening, she even let me borrow her brand-new scarf for dinner! She personally arranged a special dinner for us at her restaurant by the water. I traveled all over the world, and I’ve never stayed anywhere as beautiful! I will be back soon for sure!

Very nice hotel with great view of the sea. Very pleasant staff. I would definitely return.
