Allow me to paint for you a verbal tableau of such exquisite quintessentialism that it shall transport your very essence to the ethereal realm of Elia Mykonos Beach Resort. This haven of minimalist elegance is naught but a gossamer dream woven into the tapestry of mortal existence, a veritable beachside paradise where the discerning souls of our echelon may find solace from the mundane tribulations of lesser spheres.||||A modern fitness centre and spa is serviced by professional massage and physiotherapists of great skill. ||||Picture, if you will, an enchanted dominion where the zephyrs carry whispers of ambrosia, and the cerulean expanse of the Aegean unfurls like a silk banner touched by Poseidon's own hand. Each room within this hallowed sanctuary is a Cycladic cocoon, swathing its fortunate occupants in an embrace of timeless elegance that would make Aphrodite herself weep with envy.||||The culinary artisans of this establishment craft not mere sustenance, but rather delectable symphonies that dance upon the palate with the grace of celestial ballerinas. ||||One's every need is fulfilled by an assemblage of attendants whose devotion to service borders on the divine.||||Yet, alas, even in this Elysian field, one cannot escape entirely the boorish intrusions of the hoi polloi. It pains my delicate sensibilities to recount the presence of a most uncouth clan, local Greeks even, whose patriarch—a veritable Tartarus-spawn if ever there was one—engaged in acts of such flagrant larceny that one's pearls were clutched with unprecedented vigor. This contemptible cur, when confronted with irrefutable evidence of his misdeeds, had the unmitigated gall to weave falsehoods so brazen they would make Ananias blush.||||It is with a heavy heart that one must acknowledge such vulgar interlopers in our rarefied air. One can but hope that the stewards of this otherwise fine estate will henceforth exercise greater discretion in curating their clientele, perhaps by way of higher rates, lest the ambrosia be tainted by the presence of these unworthy cretins. In any event, the management was swift to remedy the matter for me and turned my mood right back to positivity and bliss.||||In summation, my cherished reader, while Elia Mykonos Beach Resort remains a jewel in the crown of mortal luxury, it behooves the truly cultivated to maintain a vigilant eye, even as they bask in the nectarous delights of this Grecian paradise. For it is only through our collective refinement that we may preserve the sanctity of such exalted retreats from the encroaching barbarity of the...
Read moreWe come to Mykonos several times a year and usually stay in town in a fabulous apartment block run by a lovely family. This trip we just needed to stop, relax and have early nights and loving Elia Beach decided to stay here.|Before we booked we explained the nature of the trip, that we didn't want to leave the beach at all and would eat in the restaurant at night and was assured it was peaceful and relaxing and there would be no noise. Dora the reservation manager assured us fully that all would be as we wished. We were then asked to pay half up front on reservation and the rest on arrival. |When we arrived Dora sheepishly told us that a sudden function had been booked '2 days before' and that the restaurant would be closed Sunday all day. That was enough of a blow, but when I asked about noise as we would be having early nights I was 100% assured 'no music at all' so we paid the rest of the money. Saturday night saw them putting up a huge stage and sound system and the sound test early Sunday afternoon with made the rocks of Elia shake. |We went to see Dora that evening and asked to check out a night early as we knew how loud it was going to be. She asked us to wait and she would go and speak to Nicos the owner and come back to us. She never did. We were trapped there with music so loud it shook the walls. We went to complain this morning and she didn't want to know. She admitted she had lied to us but would do nothing to compensate at all. |At £800 for 3 nights stay it's not a cheap place and you get no service for your money. |You can't leave the windows open to listen to the sea as the main access road to the larger hotels up the hill runs right past the rooms and has lorries up and down all night. |I accidentally spilled coffee on the sheets on the first night and they were not changed for the whole holiday. There aren't even any glasses to drink from in the rooms. They don't even give you a bottle of water even though there is a large fridge. |Feeling cheated and angry. They are just crooks who want your money. Do not...
Read moreHands down, best hotel experience we have had! We are Americans from Texas, have traveled around the world and let me tell you about Elia Mykonos Resort. Let me start with the amazing staff, Ioanna and the other front desk receptionists, the beach waitress Christina, the bartenders Dimitri, Dorina, Valadis, the bar and restaurant manager Ilias, are the nicest most genuine people we have met. You can pickup rather quickly they are genuine each one of them, they are not sales people. They bend over backwards for you, they showed us the best time! Elia beach was the most beautiful beach we visited in Mykonos! Our friends stayed in Ornos beach, we also rented a car and drove around the island to visit different beaches and Elia beach was the most beautiful, also the biggest beach in the island. We love how spread out it is, you’re not on top of people, and we visited during mid-summer, peak season. The hotel has an amazing bar and restaurant on the beach! Food and drinks are amazing! Not over prized. My husband couldn’t get over how amazing their tomahawk was, and being a Texan he is super picky with his steaks. He’s usually skeptical about ordering steaks in other countries but they did not disappoint! For the money, it is definitely the place to stay. I did lots of research before booking. Our friends who were in Mykonos with us stayed in Ornos beach, and Ornos is beautiful and fun but we felt Elia beach is where it’s at. Elia beach is next to Kalo Livadi beach where there are beach clubs but that beach isn’t as beautiful as Elia beach. The hotel is new, so new mattresses, sheets, towels, AC, everything! We were so comfortable! We are definitely staying at Elia Mykonos Resort when we return...
