Livin Mykonos Hotel

We stayed at this hotel for our honeymoon in September 2019. The hotel itself is really quite beautiful with a lovely atmospheric bar and restaurant area overlooking the pool. We ate in the restaurant several times and were not disappointed, the food was delicious and beautifully presented. The staff were good and very attentive. Our flight was at 9pm and the hotel kindly let us use the room right up until when we needed to leave for the airport at no extra charge which was really appreciated. They also gave us lunch in the restaurant free of charge due to our issue with the first room. Overall the stay in Mykonos started out a little bumpy but was actually wonderful. I would stay in this hotel again but would request a room nearer reception.

When we checked in, our room was very dark and quite disappointing - it felt like a dingy little box. I felt it hadn’t been cleaned from the previous guests and we were quite isolated from the rest of the hotel. On our first morning, we woke up absolutely freezing and with no running water. The handyman came to have a look and told me we would need to put the hot water on each morning by flipping a switch... The water then proceeded to go off again completely. I made a complaint to the disinterested man on reception and requested to speak to the manager. The receptionist told me he was ‘outside somewhere’ at which point I asked him to go and fetch him! The manager came in and told me ‘not to worry’. I thought this was a bizarre response considering it was our honeymoon and all I was asking for was a room with running water! I told him I was extremely unhappy at which point we were moved to a different room. This room was nearer to reception and was a lot nicer (and clean). It was possibly the nicest room we’ve ever stayed in. It also had a welcome booklet with useful information (unlike our first room which had nothing).

The property was really clean and the rooms were spotless. The pool area was especially nice and I enjoyed relaxing there during the day.

The property is a 15 min walk into town on dangerous roads that do not have foot paths. Taxis are expensive on the island and renting a car was not an option for me. The prices at the pool side bar were also high. Would you not sell more and make more money by reducing the prices of some items?
