Mystique, a Luxury Collection Hotel, Santorini

We visited Santorini to celebrate our 25th anniversary and stayed the first 2 nights at Mystique. Not only did they upgrade our room but the attention to detail & service was top notch. Our room was beautiful & after our private transfer from the airport, we were welcomed to salmon & breadsticks as well as Prosecco & fresh fruit with chocolate dipping sauce. The resort was quiet, the food was delectable & the views were AMAZING!! Every staff member had a “can do” attitude & was super friendly. The resort is a short walk (except for all the steps-Whew!) to shopping & restaurants. We should have stayed 1 more night but wanted to see other parts of the island as well. After getting to the next resort, I realized that I had left my hat by the pool at Mystique. They had their driver bring it to me right away. So kind and SO appreciated.

I can’t believe there are people complaining about there being steep steps, it’s Santorini… the picturesque, cliff side resorts are in fact on a cliff. Also, the staff takes care of your bags for you, they carry them and they drop them off at your room. I can’t say enough great things about this hotel. Everything was incredible. We came here on our anniversary, and it felt like we were on our honeymoon all over again. To start, the location is perfect. It’s right near the entrance to the walkway in Oia. What this means is it’s very accessible to all the restaurants and shops (and the walkway in Oia is mainly flat until you get closer to the sunset area or down to Ammoudi), yet secluded enough where you don’t hear the crazyyyy hustle and bustle of the downtown area. People come to Oia from other parts of the island for day trips, and tons of people are dropped off by the boat load (literally) from cruise ships since there’s a port. Downtown Oia area gets as crowded is most people warn you about. It’s loud. Walkways get congested with how many people are moving around. That’s why Mystique truly feels like an oasis where you get the best of both worlds of being in Oia but not dealing with large crowds. You don’t hear a single thing. It’s very private and relaxing. Our driver also was able to drop us off right at the hotel entrance, which isn’t the case for other hotels off of the walkway since cars aren’t allowed in the downtown area. Second, the staff are truly top notch. They are so very kind, attentive, and they are super quick to respond to whatever you need. Every time we called for something (such as extra water bottles for the room, etc), they were at our door within minutes. We ordered breakfast to the room most days and we’d eat out on our terrace. By the time we went inside and changed and came back out, the plates disappeared. I swear they know where to be at all times, they are so discrete, it was like everything magically cleaned itsself up as soon as it needed to be. They can book you reservations, excursions, whatever you need. They also went above and beyond for us having status with Marriott and with it being our anniversary. Email them in advance and ask for recommendations! We almost did a catamaran cruise from Viator where the port was on the other side of the island. They recommended one that left out of Ammoudi Bay which was so much closer. Lastly, the hotel is amazing. The caldera views are incredible. Sunrise is something special. We stayed in a wet allure suite (room 45) and in my (biased) opinion I feel like we had one of the best views from our hot tub and we had complete privacy. I was a little nervous about staying in a cave, I thought it might be musty, which wasn’t the case at all. When you pay these prices, you want to feel like every penny is worth it and that’s exactly what we felt during our stay. You get the full luxury experience.

Great hotel to experience Santorini live in a cave. Grounds and hotel is well taking care of. Hotel staff is there anytime you need them for help. They will help book tours and transfers. Marriott members will receive free Bkfast if you have status.

What a spectacular resort! The concierge service provided exceptional support even before our arrival, offering recommendations for activities and restaurants, and handling all our reservations and transportation needs seamlessly. Every staff member exceeded our expectations, ensuring all our needs were met. Our suite was stunning, with breathtaking views. The only drawback, particularly for older guests, is the number of steps built into the rocky landscape. Despite that, it’s easily a 5-star experience and beyond!

Dear Mr Somalakis, I trust this feedback finds you well! We would love to take the opportunity to share some feedback with you regarding your wonderful hotel and the people who make it so special ! This place was on our bucket list and finally we are here 🙏 We arrived only 3 days ago and within this short period of time we are overwhelmed by the perfection, attention to detail and the warmhearted staff members we met! I used to fly on private jets and was in charge of the training so I personally pay attention to all the small details “ the extra miles” .. therefore we would like to highlight the arrival experience with Jerry and Marielena(? Please forgive me, if I don’t write some names correctly, but I am pretty sure, you know whom I am talking about) The welcome itself explains already the concept of your unique place : friendly, caring and very individual! The cold oshiburi ( towels) are amazing! They did a great job and the entire team is always there! The whats app concierge idea is great and so efficient! Lure surprised us on our first evening! We received the best table from michaela ( she is amazingly hosting and super friendly) Food was excellent and the live music ( compliments to the ladies!) made it outstanding! The breakfast concept is exceptional: we can choose between in room dining or charisma without charge ! We spent now the last two mornings in charisma to enjoy the team: michaela ( lure) , Konstantinos, Panos, Lambros, George , Yanita ( Bar) who are always on the point! And not to forget all the wonderful people behind the scenes: The bell boys , who are carrying constantly all the suitcases up and down; the housekeepers, who leave our suite 21 spotless twice a day and not to forget the kitchen crew -> 5*!!! It barely happens that we write something very early ( or at all ) while still being on vacation.. but this experience is so special due all the staff members involved! So thanks a lot for hosting us and have a wonderful day ahead!
