Santa Marina, a Luxury Collection Resort, Mykonos

Celebrated our 40th wedding anniversary with 7 day stay here at Santa Marina and it was everything we could have hoped for. We are Marriot Bonvoy members and upon arrival were pleasantly upgraded to ocean view room which overlooked the beach. We saw the beautiful yachts coming and going off our private balcony. From the front desk to the staff at all of the dining areas and the pool were beyond accommodating. I need to shout out Theona at front desk, Frania at Elais Restaurant and both Stefanos and George at the adult only pool. Their attention to the finest service and welcoming attitude made the trip all that more enjoyable. Decided to use the airport shuttle provided rather than a private one and we were the only couple on the transport. Would highly recommend using it. We were in room 230. I believe we counted 400 stairs to the pool which we basically viewed as our daily fitness activity. There are elevators provided for those who prefer to use them. The rooms were freshened twice a day with friendly staff as well. I asked for an iron and board which was in the room when we arrived. Ate at The Elais (every morning for complimentary breakfast buffet- would have been 60 euro per person) and Buddha bar. Every meal was delicious as were the drinks. Took a taxi into Mykonos town which is a must do to see the sunset. However be warned that if there are cruise ships in town that day they will likely obscure your view depending on where they dock. The accommodations, the food, the drinks, the staff and the quiet luxury of the pre high season booking made this trip a dream come true.

Beautiful hotel. Everything is very well done. The staff could be friendlier but the property was outstanding and I would highly recommend. Remember to get a beach chair early and sit down the beach if you don’t want to sit near kids. Buffet breakfast is wonderful and staff is very friendly. Again I can’t even begin to say how beautiful the hotel is but it is not cheap.

The best hotel in Mykonos hands down - one of the best ever! Service was better than any Four Seasons. From the check in to the wait staff to every single person in the hotel! The beach was the best in Mykonos, the rooms were stunning, grounds and view like nothing else. Can’t rave more about it!

AMAZING! The location, property, service, and amenities far exceeded our expectations. The entire staff went above and beyond to ensure our family had the best experience in Greece and at their property. Unquestionably, our entire family said they would all go back and stay here!!

We stayed in Mykonos for four nights in late May through early June and overall, we had an enjoyable experience. We’ve visited Mykonos several times before, and on our last stay we were at the Kivotos Hotel. I must say, this time around, the experience was noticeably better. We had dinner at the hotel, and also enjoyed a couple of meals with friends at restaurants outside the property. The hotel itself is very nice—I truly can’t complain—but I feel that it has the potential to be even better. There’s something missing, a certain refinement or charm that could elevate it from good to exceptional. That said, it certainly won’t be my last visit, and I do plan to return. On a broader note, I’ve observed that Mykonos is becoming increasingly expensive. In fact, it now costs less to visit the French Riviera than to holiday in Mykonos. Some restaurants outside the hotel are charging very high prices, often not justified by the quality or overall experience. I believe this trend could have long-term consequences, and the local hospitality industry should take note, as a decline in tourism may not be far off if this continues.
