Bellissimo Resort

It takes 2 bus trips from either ferry port or airport to the hotel but if you’re willing to go by private transport or spend more time on the bus, then this hotel is really good value for the money. It is relatively cheap when compared to other hotels in Mykonos in the summer.

Did not live up to reviews I had read before booking. NO lounge, just a few seats at end of bar/restaurant. Too remote. Very little shade available in pool area and not enough sun beds. The hotel staff were all very nice but overall disappointing experience.

Hotel too out of the way and area too hilly for anyone with walking problems. Also most of the bars/restaurants in the area are in hotels and very expensive if you are not staying there. Cost of sun beds/parasols extortionate, anything from 50 euros for two upto 80 euros. Hotel has limited sunbeds,if hotel full you would not get one. Car hire prohibitive cost. On the plus side hotel staff friendly and helpful, rooms comfortable. Would not go there again.

This was a panic book last minute holiday when our scheduled trip got cancelled 4 days before we were due to depart and it’s turned out to be a perfect holiday. I can honestly say we have never stayed in such a lovely, friendly family run boutique hotel. All the staff are so friendly and go above and beyond to help and make you feel welcome. We had two rooms side by side so our teenage daughter could be by us but have her own privacy, not once have I had to worry about security etc. There are only 16 rooms so the private pool never gets overcrowded. Rooms cleaned daily, restaurant and bar are fabulous. Complimentary towels supplied daily. The little shop by the hotel is great for snacks and drinks. There are a few restaurants within walking distance but they are very expensive! There is a bus that runs every half an hour and picks up outside hotel, it’s €2 to go anywhere on the island. The hotel can arrange car hire for you but be warned if you rent a small engined car like we did, getting up steep hills on the island can be quite tricky!!! The town itself has regular cruise ship drop offs so can become extremely busy but away from the town isn’t too manic. We went on a wonderful local boat trip and also did a sunset cruise, the staff were wonderful on this too. One thing we have noticed is every member of staff we have met on the Island has been so friendly and helpful. We have loved this little hotel so much we are booking again for next year!

Arrival from Athens via Ferry is the beginning of this portion of the trip! I would recommend telling Bellissimo about your trip so they can plan your transport. (We didn’t) Taxis are far and few and we waited 45 minutes for Uber and waiting in a taxi line with many others before giving up and hiring a very expensive ride. Upon arrival at Bellissimo at near 10pm, we were greeted promptly by Mike and Demitri. Demitri took our suitcases and bags up the stairs and to our room. Mike checked us in to room 126. The room is a good size and the amenities are all there. The air con works by remote control and is quick to cool the room to ice cold as you wish. The next morning where we spent time with Mike going over our plans for the 4 day stay is where we found the most amazing service and experience. Mike must have spent 45 minutes with us helping to curate our adventures. He had personal insight and knowledge of Mykonos and other areas. I mean you just tell him about yourself and he can quickly figure out the best itinerary. We wanted to ride a quad over over the island and we did. He helped us select several stopping points and specific restaurants and suggested what’s best to order. He knew the price levels and what’s places were nice but cheap and others that were a little bit more but way better. We were able to find the activity beaches and the relaxation beaches. We found the lighthouse area and monastery. Most of all we fell in love with the quality and service and views from Liasti. This is a top notch adult vibe beach club with excellent food, drinks, views, water. Everything you may want. It’s out of the main area but top notch and worth spending the day. We did the beach club in the main area but the vibe is busier and even though cheaper than Liasti it wasn’t as nice, clean and pretty. Back to the Bellissimo. The pool area is great. It’s not over crowded and it’s clean and the water’s great. You have a view and generally a few people are always there relaxing. The bar/restaurant is attached to the hotel and pool all adjacent and very convenient. I would stay here again!
