Kirini My Mykonos Retreat

This is a long review but trust me, if you are considering a stay here you need to read this! We stayed at Kirini in July 2018 and as frequent travellers were disappointed as this was the worst hotel we have ever stayed in. After paying 3,370 Euro for 5 nights for a Junior suite including breakfast we expected a reasonable standard. The resort is in the middle of nowhere so you will need to get a car and the 'Junior suite' was so small that whenever I opened a drawer I would knock over a lamp! On the first night after having showers we left the hotel around 8pm to go into town for dinner. We got back to our room around 11.30pm and the room had not been turned down. Dirty towels still in the bathroom and bed unmade, no water on the bedsides, however determined to give them the benefit of doubt, we spoke to management and requested clean towels for the morning. On the second evening we came back at around midnight and again the room had not been turned down. I went back to reception to request clean towels and was assured by the manager that it was an oversight and would not happen again. The following evening we got back to our room to find that our room had been left wide open by house keeping staff with all our valuables inside! On the final night we came back to our room to find that it had not been cleaned again! At this stage I felt that the staff were doing it deliberately! We had an early flight to Barcelona on our final day so on arrival we asked staff to book a 4.30am transfer to the airport, throughout our stay we asked them to confirm that this was arranged as we had a 6am flight and could not afford any delay. We were assured that this was confirmed but at 4.30am no taxi arrived. The night manager managed to get through to the driver that was supposedly booked and he told us there was never any request from Kirini for an early morning transfer. Needless to say we just made our flight! I would strongly suggest that you don't stay here if you expect quality and good service. Most of the staff were incompetent and unfriendly. The only friendly, efficient staff member was Kiriakos who served us breakfast. We are still expecting a phone call or some attempt at an apology but obviously management don't care enough about their guests to bother. A thoroughly disappointing experience!

This was the most fantastic choice of accommodation. Firstly it actually was an adult only hotel and despite the fact that you can???t see the sunset from the hotel the location is absolutely spot on, not too far from the fabulous Ornos Beach and it was a 15/20 min drive to Scorpios and Mykonos Old Town. Nothing was too much trouble from a late check out to lending us a room to shower and get changed in before our flight. On our first day we woke up late and missed breakfast by 15 mins and they still served us and made sure it was no big deal. There are three small swimming pools to choose from which means you will hardly ever (in our case not once) have to share the pool with anyone. It feels like a private villa. The view is breathtaking from anywhere in the hotel and we loved it so much we extended our trip.

This incredible authentic boutique hotel really lived up to all of our expectations. Food to die for, amazing scenery and wonderful friendly staff that tended to all our needs. We would highly recommend it and hope to be back soon! It is simply paradise.
