Naxos and Lesser Cyclades Vacations from $1,293

We had a wonderful stay at Rocabella Mykonos. It’s stylish, luxurious and the pool area is lovely. One thing I really appreciated was that there was none of the usual sunbed-saving nonsense. There always seemed to be loungers available, which made it feel much more relaxed. The hotel is on a hill, so it’s worth knowing the nearest shop is around a 10–15 minute walk away, downhill going there and uphill coming back, with no proper footpath. A taxi into Mykonos Town is also around €60 return, so you can feel quite dependent on the hotel. There is a small hotel shop, but it’s mainly spa-style items. I really wish they sold a few basic holiday essentials like sunscreen, snacks, crisps, chocolate and canned soft drinks. At the moment, if you want a drink or nibble, you’re generally buying it from the bar or restaurant. That’s honestly my only real criticism. The hotel itself is fabulous. And a very funny bonus: there’s a two-way mirror near the villas, so watching people take selfies in it without realising villa guests can see them perfectly clearly has been hilarious. 😂

From the moment I arrived, the registration staff was excellent; Jessica explained everything about the hotel and helped me with my reservations, and the other two young women were amazing as well. My room (W4) was excellent and clean, with a nice view featuring an extremely comfortable mattress and pillows, plus a spacious bathroom with great water pressure. The room's pool wasn't heated, but it was still usable. On the first night, I celebrated my birthday at the poolside restaurant, Fly Away—an unforgettable experience with an incredible tasting menu. Cristina patiently explained every dish to us; she is truly an expert. They have a great team—Strat, the bartender, was also very knowledgeable; he recommended several places for us to visit, and his advice was spot-on—he has a lot of experience in tourism, as does Bill. We are grateful to everyone; it was an unforgettable experience.We also had ad à la carte breakfast in our room every morning accompanied by beautiful sunrise. We will combat .🌸

Everything was amazing!

The hotel is amazing and views are spectacular. But it is the staff who made our stay exceptional!!
