We just finished a wonderful stay at Utopia, one of the numerous Myconian hotels in Mykonos. The only challenge we had the entire stay was arranging our transport from the airport. We sent an email a few days before leaving for Greece and it was not answered. However, when we called we were immediately booked a private transfer. The transfer was at the airport for us when we arrived, so no big deal at all.||The Utopia is one of four Myconian hotels on Elia Beach. It's also the highest up in the hill, which ain't nobody walking up! It is seriously one of the steepest hills I've seen. Luckily, there is a shuttle to and from the beach (maybe a 3 minute drive). The shuttle is easily avaialble. When you walk out of the hotel the reception immediately asks if oyu need the shuttle to the beach and call for it if it's not already there (they just go between the beach and hotel, so are always nearby). You can also shuttle to one of the other Myconians to use the pool or go to one of the other restaurants. We didn't because we really enjoyed the ones at Utopia.||Utopia is the smaller of the different Myconian hotels in the Elia Beach area. As such, the pool is smaller than the others (but plenty big enough), and there is no hot tub (the other hotels have those by the pool). Didn't matter. As normal in anywhere we looked to stay, the pools are not heated. No big deal, the water was chilly but refreshing.||We came in October, staying up to a day before the hotel closed for the winter (Oct 6-10). The weather was perfect, the sun warm. Temperatures were around 77-78 during the day, a bit cooler at night. It was good beach weather. Also, no crowds at all.||Service at the hotel was excellent. Breakfast was nice, buffet style, with everything from eggs to yogurt to fruit available. Lunch and dinner were also nice, a bit pricy of course since it's a 5 star hotel.||There is shuttle service (they have their own big bus) to Mykonos Town. It's a set schedule, not the most convenient but it worked fine. For example, the first shuttle in the morning is at 8:45 (25 minutes to town) and the first one back after that is 2:30 pm. The next one isn't until 6:30. However, there are more in the evening hours. It totally worked out fine, we spent one evening in town and one morning/lunch.||Costas is the manager and he (like all the staff) is super friendly and nice. He constantly is walking around at mealtime asking everyone if they are enjoying their stay and if their rooms are ok. He is always avaialble up front as well if you need anything. All the staff at the hotel are friendly and helpful. I did notice, though, that they are always there. By that I mean morning to night, the same people. They have LONG shifts, and I understand that is common in the Greek islands, since they have a short season. I just feel bad they work from morning to night (Costas too, he's always there!)||Our room was wonderful. We had a private pool and spectacular view of the sea. The room is a nice size, and there is a bathtub with views to the sea, and enclosed shower by the toilet. The one drawback was the bed, which is some kind of this mattress topper on like a thick futon base or something. It wasn't very comfortable. However, the rest of the hotel experience made up for this.||Overall, we loved our stay at the Myconian Utopia and would stay here again in a heartbeat. The biggest reasons for this are the view, the service, and the people. Thank you Costas and staff for a wonderful stay!|
