Alissachni Mykonos

Amazing boutique hotel with a dreamy view. We have been to Oia, Santorini, so the bar was pretty high when it came to views, but this place delivered. The views alone are worth the price of admission. We stayed in the superior jacuzzi suite room. It was spacious and had a large terrace with a hot tub. We had champagne and our coffee while overlooking the blue Aegean Sea. We traveled in July and got a great pre-paid rate, around $600 per night but it can go as high as $1000. So my first point is that Mykonos is not cheap, and staying here is not cheap. But if you value experiences, then it's worth it. The dining area is outside and provides unbelievable views. Every morning, an excellent FREE breakfast is served on the dining terrace. This was the highlight of my day. Enjoying my Americano while watching the mega yachts sail by. If this place were public, I could see the hotel charging hundreds for a table for two. At sunset each night we had the area to ourselves. For some reason, the guests were at other places for dinner/sunset. I didnt understand the logic. The staff were great. We were picked up at the airport and dropped off on time. Please note that this place is somewhat remote. You will not be able to walk anywhere safely. It is a steep climb. We chose this hotel because we wanted to be away from the craziness of Mykonos but still have it within reach and, of course, the views. With that being said just about everything you want to see in the area is within 15 minutes by taxi. Taxis are not cheap. One way will cost about $35 euro if you arrange it via the hotel. You can use WhatsApp to communicate with the drivers. If you don't arrange it via the hotel, it can cost up to $50 euros. Driving in Mykonos is kind of crazy, so we didn't mind paying to get around. Regarding getting recommendations from the hotel, the ladies are lovely at reception, but after our experience at Scorpios, we felt like the girls may be getting kickbacks. Scorpios was a cool vibe, but it didn't warrant the obscene prices ($350 euro for a steak) for food there. We had an appetizer, a few drinks, and a bottle of white modest wine. Our tab was $200 euro. The food is just as good at the hotel. We felt Scorpios to be a real tourist trap; there are better places to visit and dine. Overall Alissachni was amazing. Our room was spotless each day with late housekeeping available. The food was good, and our views were legendary....did I mention the views yet?? LOL It can be expensive but Mykonos is expensive. This is a seasonal rock in the middle of the Aegean Sea. Are there ways to get by on a budget? Sure, but this hotel is for something other than budget-minded people. Overall, we spent $2600 for 4 nights, $1000 at the bar/restaurant, and probably another $1500 in the area. So about $5k USD for two over 4 days. Live your best life and enjoy!

Excellent! The property is amazing and has shuttle from the airport. The place is really fabulous and the design is very unique. Architecture blends well with the landscape. It has a lot of potential. Lots of things to do in Mykonos and the team is very professional.

The property is beautiful. However, there were some gaps in customer service. Maria, the girl at the front desk was responsible for both instances- she messed up our pickup from the airport and she messed up our drop off to town. Maria actually told us that the driver of the courtesy van was too busy to drop us whereas we found out that he had actually been doing absolutely nothing!!! Then, Maria pretended to be very helpful to us by volunteering to make dinner reservations for us- her recommended restaurant was one where we had useless food at a hyped tourist trap kind of place. I suspect she might be getting a kickback for referring people there. The restaurant staff and Hector, the driver were very attentive and polite. The property is beautiful albeit difficult to get to- one has to get a ride to go anywhere.
