Myconian Utopia Resort

A really beautiful, relaxing people with amazingly friendly staff, great dining, spectacular view. It is exactly what it sets out to be! Would have given a five star review except for two things - water is 3 euros. There is no free water in the rooms - this is a major disappointment for a five star place on an island with **no drinkable tap water**. You can get a small bottle of water for 50 cents on the street, sure, but because the hotel is so far away from the beach/street and up a very steep hill I think this is a bit mean. As drinkable water is a basic human need, and there is no other way to get it other than purchase it and this is a five star resort, this was its only main let-down. The other thing that I want to comment on the pools in the hotel contain salty water for sanitary reasons. The private pool in our hotel room 611 was gorgeous but the water was way too salty! It was even saltier than seawater. It formed thick salt crusts on the pool tiles. It accidentally got into the eye on the first use and caused a chemical burn that persisted even after washing it out with bottled water and was red for ages. This does not happen even in seawater. It is a major health issue - I am unclear it was just applicable to the pool in the room I was in (the main pool was quite salty, but less so). Never used the gorgeous pool in 611 again and went to use the main pool instead.

We aren't club people, but wanted to visit Mykonos. We looked for a luxury resort where we could relax befrore continuing with our trip. We found it. The Myconian Utopia is stunning from the moment you set foot in it. The staff is incredibly friendly. Our room was modern, bright and clean (though we could block out the light at night for sleeping). The rooms have great views. The pool deck is spacious and very luxurious. There aren't enough seats for all the guests, but the resort sits high up on a beautiful beach with a reserved area. We couldn't figure out which Myconian to choose when booking, but are very glad we chose Utopia. They are all beautiful, but Utopia is the smallest and sits highest on the mountain -- a much more intimate experience. Warning -- for the time being, I would avoid rooms on the 7th floor. We were initially placed there The outdoor hallway is covered in a plastic tarp, and there is water dripping through onto the hallway. There is also a good bit of construction noise from higher up behind the hotel. The first morning, we had workers tromping on our roof. It happened again the second morning, but they moved us. The second room was perfect. The first room was also amazing, but noisy due to the work. Once completed, I'm sure those rooms will be great as well.

So often one's experience of the team at a restaurant or hotel can change a good meal or stay into a great one. Well, this hotel started at the top. The decor was edgy but worked brilliantly, the views and outlook from the rooms and pool and restaurant and bar were all stunning, being at the very top of the hill overlooking Elia beach, the rooms well decorated with balconies sharing the view across the beach. But from an outstanding start, the team here takes this hotel right to the top! I have been fortunate enough to stay in some pretty unbelievable hotels, one or two possibly better in decor. However, I have never been in a hotel where ALL of the team, from the valets, the reception and welcoming team, the restaurant waiters, the receptionists and the General Manager have all been so friendly and helpful and charming and efficient. The GM, Andreas was phenomenal. On arrival, one of the family became a little teary and instead is shying away, Andreas came over put his arm around the person and spoke a few words putting an enormous smile on the person's face. (Yes, this has been written so as to hide the identity of the person in question! 😉) He was ever-present, always with a kindly word but also working with the teams all over the hotel. A true charmer and a gorgeous guy! Then there is Costa who welcomed us when we arrived. There was nothing that he couldn't do or fix or arrange. Like Andreas, he was also ever-present, always with a smile on his face! There were many many others, from the restaurant team, to the bar and pool team and others who made our stay beyond outstanding. The hotel restaurant is the subject of a separate review, but is also tops. The jazz musician at dinner (who played a soprano saxophone) really added to the fantastic atmosphere and was excellent. In all honesty, I hadn't expected to want to come back to Mykonos "Yeah - been there, done that, but there are other places to see!" However, we will be back. Not for Mykonos, but for this hotel and its team! Wow! You really need to put this hotel at the top of whatever you call THAT list - bucket list or whatever.

Just left Myconian Utopia and sad to leave. What a nice place! Very relaxing, perfect service and great views. Swimming pool was beautiful, massages really good, food nice and people very friendly. Especially for our 3 year old daughter! Always a smile, a hug and time to play a little. And if your baby is crying, they take them for a little walk, do you can finish your dinner. Shuttle service to ferry and Mykonos town was also good.

We stayed 4 nights at Utopia. Amazing view & dinner, service & diving pool + jacuzzi ! 2 negatives, the water had so much high price and the hostess a short girl " Dimitra" i think her name...when we arrived she looked her telephone and nobody welcome us unfortunately.
