미코니안 빌라 컬렉션

We had 8 wonderful days at this beautiful hotel. Loved the large saltwater pool (with ridiculously comfortable loungers) and the long clean beach. Great breakfast buffet and the staff did everything they could to make our stay comfortable and memorable. It's great to have the free shuttle service into town (as well as around the hotel areas and beach) as taxis would be incredibly expensive. We chose a room without private pool and didn't regret this choice - we had a great view from our spacious balcony and the hotel pool is lovely and (when we visited) not too crowded.

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.
