Mykonian Ambassador Relais & Chateaux

The Myconian Ambassador a Relaid and Chateu property was perfect for my wife’s 30th birthday. Close proximity to the beach and wonderful staff. Themis the bartender was a pleasure and everyone at the hotel from the manager to the concierge to the cleaning staff were always so happy.

We recently stayed here towards the end of the tourist season. While the hotel was full, the island was not overrun with tourists, which made it easy to get around. The hotel has amazing views, perched slightly away from the beach but still within easy walking distance. It affords some amazing views. Rooms are generously appointed, although we did opt for a slightly better room category with a hot tub. In true Mykonos style, everything was white - the linen, the room interior and the hotel exterior. It creates an interesting contrast to the brown environment. The hotel has made good use of its poolside area - they have a generous breakfast restaurant which is transformed at night to their fine dining establishment. For a more laid back environment, the tables and chairs around the bar nearby provide a good alternative. During the day, the deck chairs around the pool are serviced so a quick bite under the umbrella is possible. As you'd expect in a hotel of this calibre, the food is excellent, albeit not cheap. Even their lighter food options are going to be priced for being at a 5 star hotel. Expect a generous wine list with European prices. In all areas, service is amazing. The staff knew our names by the end of day one. And everyone falls over themselves to ensure you're happy. It seems there is no ask that would be too large for them to deal with. In terms of the other amenities, we did not take in the spa. It suffers from being downstairs and feels a bit cramped as if it was in a basement. The gym is small but well appointed. Unfortunately, it's directly about reception and opens quite late. Finally, the hotel makes it easy to get around the island by using a local transfer company. If there is anything that detracts from the experience it would be the placement on the island, which does not afford a direct sunset (although the sun setting behind the nearby hill is incredible). Also, the music around the pool seemed to be repetitive sometimes. All in all, this is a superb hotel in a great location. We'd love to go back next year.
