Find the Best Elia Hotels

Well, the first impression was bad but somehow it managed to be a pleasant stay overall. The thing is the villa collection rooms are desperately in need of a profound renovation! At least both the two we have seen. There were cracks on the walls, a big broken piece on the floor in the entrance, bad condition of some furniture and I was astonished with a huge rusty old sound column in the middle of the room... just why?? Better having nothing. The doors and windows framework look ancient and the light buttons are fallimg apart... please.. it's like 50 dollars into electric stuff and would give an overall better first impression instantly! A lot of strange design choices and materials. The room floor and bathroom ceramics have a faint stained color.. I could not have imagined nothing worse, a ceramic that seems dirty, but it is not... totally off. In the common areas there are also some very questionable weird choices such as the pink velvet everywhere. Other things though seem very nice, a strange mix overall. Design and bad room condition apart the rest of the stay was off good quality overall. The main salty pool is huge, amazing and very clean and is the biggest of the myconian hotels in this complex. The freedom to walk to the other sister hotels in the complex is very interesting making it a huge ground to discover and enjoy. Although very litle information regarding this is provided. I liked the pool and the food of the Imperial for instance. Note that the pool of the Villa collection was always significantly less windy than the others cause it is not facing the beach, it's the best one indeed! Other positives: Room cleaning was afterall very good. Good breakfast. Crazy amount of bath amenities. I never saw soo many bottles replenished everytime and Olivia Thinks brand products are amazing. They should consider big refillable bottles. Room AC very efficient and silent. Very nice dark room at night. Huge new TV in the room. Great balcony. Free tansfers to the beach and town. Amazing pool sunbeds. Delicate and nice hotel scent. No drainge or sewer smell in the bathroom. Other negatives: Trash truck very noisy everyday in front of the breakfast area. Rooms photos in the website are mixed and don't correspond to the category. This is even stated by the reception staff. Old spa facilities. Card to open the room constantly stops working. Beach area with no signs, badly performing staff and overall poor ambiance, it's in the worst part of the beach. Villa collection gym is a joke but you can use the one at the Imperial which is good and modern. Poor info of the resort activities. No app to communicate. Overall I feel that greed took place here as they should really undergo renovations besides growing and building new stuff around. With a room uppscaling and better design choices this could be a really special resort indeed.

Magical moments await at this hotel! From our elegantly appointed room, we were treated to panoramic vistas of the glistening sea, creating an enchanting atmosphere from dawn till dusk. Breakfast was a highlight, with an extensive selection of fresh, locally sourced delights served against the backdrop of the azure waters. The service was exemplary, ensuring our stay was nothing short of perfection.

It is important to know that this is not a hotel to speak, but rather a higher-class pension. There are only a handful of rooms, perhaps 5-6 not more, and the service is provided by a person, Nadia, effective and very helpful, but that is not necessarily available at any time. Most: - pleasant, clean and well-equipped room - a good breakfast served on the private terrace of the room - friendly and efficient Nadia service - pleasant small swimming pool with a beautiful view of hair pile in front of the terrace of the room (although you sometimes have right to p...asse of the neighbouring room that spends 2 hours to register in all positions in front of the panorama) _ small resto simpa, the Tiki, at the foot of the hotel's climb The least: - neither bar, nor resto, You have to get out - Elia's beach is over-flowed by transactions - the hotel is upside a TRES raid in car and walking, and is visited by buses that serve the huge neighbor hotel, Not a pleasant to cross one in your little car that hardly goes up - the visiting of Mykonos, it still a mix of M****illais in Miami and Costa cruises, you need to love ...

We have been waiting for the summer holidays all year round and then due to a mistake made by the structure in question, our holidays in Mykonos have been skipped !!! On August 5, I decided to send an email to Elia to ask for a transfer to pick us up from the airport on August 7, the day of our arrival in Mykonos. The response I received was chilling ... ”There is no booking in your name.” Now you imagine that I have two children, one of whom is a newborn and that if I hadn't sent that email, we would have found ourselves on 7 August in Elia's hall hearing these words ... Incredulous, I re-forward the email sent in October with the Form, provided by them for the reservation, complete with all my data necessary for the reservation! And I also forward the reply email, also dating back to October, in which they assured me that everything was ok with the booking and that I could then proceed with the purchase of airline tickets !!!!! The response I received three days ago after sending these old emails was ”We are so sorry, unfortunately there was an error on our part but we no longer have rooms available and to apologize for what happened, we can find you a structure alternative to ours ... ”. I find all this absolutely absurd, they forgot our reservation and sold the room to other people !!! If I chose to book a 15-day holiday with Elia I had a whole series of reasons and alternative structures offered by them, with bad reviews on TripAdvisor such as ”Disgusting Room!” I don't know what to do with it ... With two small children, one of which is a newborn, you can't be flexible up to this point! The structures they proposed were apartments or hotels of a lower category and had nothing to do with Elia; I would have appreciated if they had offered me a hotel equal or superior to theirs and not places with such bad reviews! I can do nothing about their apologies, our holidays in Mykonos have been skipped because it was impossible two days before departure, to be able to find another accommodation that had the services we needed; they were obviously all fully booked! What happened is really absurd ... Think if I hadn't sent that email ... we would have found ourselves on our arrival with 1 child and a newborn, without a room to sleep !!! A 4-star hotel cannot make mistakes like this!

I turned 30 at this hotel and it was perfect. Irena was my wife and I's first point of contact and we became quick friends on a first name basis. She remembered fine details about our stay including my birthday, our room number and coordinated dinner reservations, transportation etc. - she also remembered my birthday and sent fruit and Greek wine to my room. The place secluded from the epicenter of the island that is Mykonos Town (it is surrounded by small villages on mountainous terrain) but it has a magical quality that brings out the best in people. Angelos, the bartender is talented and engaging, we too became fast friends. Lastly i'd like to mention the Imperial Spa and the earth angel, Artemis. I was gifted a massage and facial on my birthday and Artemis gave me one of the best massages I have ever had. She was so grounded and connected, I was a brand new baby bird when I walked out. You should not stay here if you dislike soft Mediterranean air with a wide open sea view, twinkling cliff-sides, incredible food/drinks, huge bathtubs, verandas, giant pools with ocean views and very kind/accommodating staff. See you again, Imperial Friends

This was our second stop on our air canada vacations tour of Greece , we arrived in Mykonos by Ferry from Athens. This hotel was by far the nicest hotel we stayed in during our two weeks in Greece!!!! Check in was a breeze and the staff were always going out of their way to make sure you were happy and they were always friendly. Our room was amazing with a view that was breathtaking. Unfortunately the weather wasn’t on our side this trip so it was very cool and we didn’t get to enjoy the pool or the beach, although they looked beautiful. The food was very good but this was also the most expensive hotel that we stayed at for the food and drink. Even the water is charged for, $5.50 euros with your meal but that was pretty standard all throughout Greece. Our breakfast was included and it was always excellent with a lot of options. The hotel is about 20 minutes from the port and they offer a shuttle into town with several time slots to come and go. We went one day and had dinner at the port which was excellent as well. The bartender at the pool was our favourite , he was always very kind and did his best to try to speak English and also to teach us a few Greek words. We would definitely return to this hotel as it was pure heaven!!!
