This is not a hotel. This is a nightclub with rooms. We stayed here for 3 sleepless nights. The music is at obnoxious decibel levels right below the rooms at the beach bar until 3am. There is a neon green Exit sign above the door that lights up the entire room and no way to turn it off. I have never seen anything like this in a hotel. It was so bright. We had to wrap a dark T-shirt around it and attach towel clips to darken the room. The road noise is very loud. If you value sleep, this is not somewhere you should stay. Our room had a pool that was full of leaves and not cleaned for the duration of our stay. The shower wall leaked and we had a flood in our room every time we showered. No one came to address the issue. The coffee maker and safe in the room did not work. The temperature controls are locked by the hotel at 25 degrees Celsius and you cannot adjust to make the room cooler at night. If you make the mistake of staying here, make sure you wake up early for the complimentary sunbeds. The last 3 rows are complimentary. Go to the right as much as possible to avoid the deafening club music all day. The main lobby has a WC with several inoperable toilets and no running water to wash your hands and strong sewer smell that permeates the lobby. Absolutely disgusting. I would not recommend this hotel to anyone who wants do sleep before 3am.

Beyond expectations of fabulousness.
By far the BEST part of our 2 week trip. This place had it ALL. Amazing staff, gorgeous rooms and location, directly on the beach, out of this world craft cocktails, and more! I honestly felt this was the best part of my travels. Everyone was friendly, outgoing, hospitable and accommodating. The rooms feature hot tubs or private pools. I wanted to extend my stay just because they were so fabulous. Breakfast was delicious. The only downside was that all the showers are glass walls to the entire room (so no privacy) and the food was mediocre. Other than that, everything was beyond expectations and I am already telling friends and planning a trip back. Special shout out to Isham (GM), Constantino (mixologist/bartender), and Hope (Front desk) for making our stay the most memorable yet. Thanks a million

The shuttle from airport and to new port to catch our ferry made travel to and from the hotel stress free. The room, deck, and private pool was emaculate and the view of the beach is amazing. Short walking distance to catch bus to old town. Hotel provides lounge chairs and umbrellas at beach with waitress to bring you your food and drinks. Would highly recommend to anyone looking to enjoy the beach while still being able to quickly get into town.

This place is a Scam ! They advertised “beach front “ and when we got to the Room our “beach front” was in front of a construction sight . We took pictures and we took video to prove this . The hotels response was beach front means it’s “close” to the beach . The definition of beach front is … BEACH FRONT .. meaning the Room is in front of the beach .. not close to the beach , not by the Beach . This is a small island .. any location in the island can be labeled breach front according to there listing . On top of that they proceeded to show us an actual beach front for more then double the money . Don’t make the same mistake we did . Read the reviews .. we aren’t the only ones to fall victim to this deception. We then proceeded to ask for a refund and they said NO . We were forced to find a new hotel and THANK GOD we did . We immediately found a hotel with a beach front , ocean views and way friendlier staff at half the price of our original booking . Now I have to report this scam to my credit card company and start the process of fighting these crooks , thieves and con men. Also .. the Hotel is going to respond to this post with a lie on top of there scam saying we weren’t mislead … nonsense ! Please don’t do it . If this is the last hotel available in mykonos I still wouldn’t book it and prefer to live in a tent in mykonos rather then give these thieves my money again.

Everything was great about our stay. I got an email right after I booked to welcome us and arrange arrival transportation. We arrived earlier that check in and were given complimentary cocktails while we waited and were checked in very early. The room was excellent and right on the beach! TThey offered us a complimentary bottle of wine at dinner at the hotel restaurant, which was delicious! My only complaint (and it is small) is that the pool we had in our suite was a bit cold. I was expecting it to be slightly heated, but I don’t believe it was. It was a slight diappointment, but not enough to knock a rating down. Our stay was wonderful and I would definitely recommend.

Shuttle ride from the port was a little crazy, 17 passengers with luggage piled in between our legs. A big party in front of us caused over an hour to check in. The staff saw our frustration and quickly offered us a free upgrade for both our rooms. They also sent over pastry for dessert. I can’t thank Joanna enough for going out of her way to bring my son a birthday cake on the beach, she is truly amazing!! Korina made our day on the beach one to remember with front row chairs and constantly checking on us. Her service with a smile was first class! The rooms were clean and we had a private pool. The hotel staff are all amazing and we would visit again! They are located right on the beach and have plenty of chairs to lounge and soak up the sun. Breakfast is a nice and offered a variety of dishes to chose from. What started off a little scary ended up being one of the best places we’ve stayed, and we have traveled a lot. Thanks again to all the staff for making our vacation special!

Modern room on a fun beach!
We booked this room as our 3rd stop in Greece, my husband, myself and my 2 adult kids. The room was very modern with a small swimming pool on the balcony. The views were awesome. Beware though, the rooms are open and the guys slept in the open living room. The shower is wide open for all to see too. But we loved the location andd the balcony. We were only there for 3 nights. We felt it was all good. Nicholas, the concierge was very helpful. A must visit is Scorpios, little Venice and Mykonos Town. We went sailing to Delos and another island but also be informed that the seas are windy and the ride back was an experience we will never forget. The beach is loud at night due to music playing two bars away but we didn't mind for our short time. The breakfast buffet is good. We did not pay for the last 3 rows of the sunbeds. This was the most expensive place we stayed but again, for our first time in Mykonos we enjoyed the hotel.

Nice average hotel, way way overpriced in the summer for what you get, which is not bad but definitely not exceptional .... That is pretty much true of most Mykonos places, though. Beach is ok, small and crowded and you pay to lay next to your neighbor's towel, sand is not so fine. If you want Quality at about the same price, go to the next door Relais & Chateaux Mykonian Ambassador hotel. One high note : Excellent breakfast buffet, above par.

Nice hotel close to almost most popular beaches. Did not accept early check in and when the time comes to check in the room was not ready and we had to Waite for almost 30 min.

I’ve just come back from an amazing stay at Mykonos Dove Beach Hotel with a friend and we absolutely loved our stay! The hotel is modern and clean and newly refurbished to a high standard. The staff are so friendly and helpful. Nicholas is the man to speak to for advice on where to go he gives an honest opinion and knows all the best places on the island. The hotel is in the perfect location, with an easy bus ride into beautiful Mykonos town and a short walk to the coolest bars and restaurants on the island. I would definitely recommend it! The only down side was that the pool isn’t open yet but is due to be open any day. The sea is so clear and on the hotels doorstep so not having a pool didn’t prove a problem for us.

This hotel is perfectly located in beautiful Mykonos - it is on a stunning beach, is walking distance to Nammos and Scorpios, has great facilities, as well as a lovely restaurant overlooking the beach and a fab beach bar.

Great Stay in Mykonos
Mykonos is a stunning island to visit. We had a car for 5 days so had a chance to explore the island. For us, Platys Gialos was perfect as there were nice restaurants along a lovely beach. Mykonos town is only around a 10E cab ride away. The hotel is nice with clean rooms. There was building work going on but this looked like it was going to be completed very soon.

写真のようなお部屋はメイン棟とは別棟で、1階のみプール付きです。私達はこの棟の2階のベランダにジャクジーバスのあるお部屋でした。トイレ以外に壁はなくオープンな作りです。オシャレ?とでも言いますか。シャワーブースも素通しガラスの壁でドアはありません。姉妹で滞在しましたがそれでも色々気を使いながらの滞在でした。照明が凝っていてsexyだのロマンチックだの色々設定できるようでした(笑)シャワー別付けの冷たいトイレです。ほとんどビーチfロントレストランで3食頂きました。ギリシャ料理やピザは美味しかったですが、パスタはneverです。レストランから波打ち際までビーチベッドが並べられていて気軽にのんびりできます。夜はテーブルも並べられて満月に浮かび上がる海を見ながら黒鯛の丸ごと蒸し焼きをサーブして頂きました。メインプールは海水でした。プールバーは1日中大音響でノリノリの曲を流しています。清潔で、見た目も綺麗です。4泊しましたが慣れればそれなりに楽しめました。スタッフの対応も素晴らしかったです。頼めばほとんど何でも気持ちよく対応して頂けました。
