Katikies Villas Mykonos

I would avoid Katikies Villas at all costs. I don't often write reviews, but this experience was exceptionally bad. Firstly, Mykonos is not that pretty and particularly anything special, Paros is far nicer and sophisticated in my opinion. The Katikies villas added to this disappointment, on a number of levels: - Plunge pool ice cold and unusable. - Loungers were stained and dirty. - Outside seating worn and threadbare. - Outside area of the villa was unclear. - Breakfast delivered in a cardboard box and was dreadful. - Remote location makes it difficult without a car, but the roads are chaos and taxi's very expensive. The actual villa itself was fine, but very average.

The villas are very nice, if you’re seeking an Airbnb-like experience. However, if you prefer a hotel experience, this is not the place for you. Since they are no longer associated with Leading Hotels of the World, many amenities and services are no longer offered. This was not communicated to us at any point. Although they market themselves as a luxurious property, I did not feel the luxury during my stay. Many advertised features were not available. For instance, we were supposed to receive a welcome basket, but it was not provided. The breakfast was also disappointing; instead of a plated meal, we received a boxed breakfast that felt like a McDonald's Happy Meal. Additionally, there are no dining options on-site. You must order food through an Uber-like website. The property does not offer transfers either, only booking services, which are significantly overpriced. For example, a transfer arranged by the concierge was €80 each way, while we found our own transfer for €45. The villas are beautiful and each comes with a private pool, which is nice. However, you could probably get a similar experience by booking an Airbnb. I would not stay here again.

Katikies Villas is a perfect stay for couples and families looking for a serene and quieter stay in Mykonos. Each villa comes with their own private pool and beautiful views of the southern side and Elia beach. The entire staff is amazing from the chef prepared breakfast to turn down service at night. The villa manager has been so accommodating in supporting our children’s food allergies as well. If you want to visit any sites on the island they have a van service that can take you. I have enjoyed my stay here so much that I wish we could extend our visit. I highly recommend staying here. We will definitely stay here again the next time we come back.

Wow! This place is absolutely incredible! From the moment we arrived we were met with the most amazing staff who were welcoming and so kind. The manager is incredibly kind and thorough while helping us navigate the many food allergies of our kids and allowed us to check in early after a long day of travel and an exhausted and sea sick child. We were ushered to our villa quickly and we were speechless! The villa is SO clean! I mean, clean in a way I haven’t seen in a hotel property anywhere ever! (And I’ve been a lot of places!) The villa itself is gorgeously decorated, cool, with every amenity we could desire. The private infinity pool, sea view, and grounds are meticulously kept and the staff is respectful, kind, helpful, and incredibly easy to reach via WhatsApp. Turn down service with dark chocolate and fresh robes? I say YES! The only thing I wish was different is that our stay were longer. We will definitely return and stay here again! Highly recommend! Did I mention the view?

From start to finish the service at Katakies Villas was top notch!!! Ellie and the rest of the staff were extremely helpful on helping us plan a memorable family vacation. The accommodations were amazing with breathtaking views, a great outdoor space, and fabulous breakfasts. The villas were spacious and extremely clean. Loved every moment of our stay!!!
