Yi Hotel Mykonos

Everything was beautiful but far from everything and the taxi minimum was $42 no matter how close it was.

Nice new hotel with good facilities. Clean bedrooms, modern fixtures and nice toiletries. We stayed here due to getting a great discount with the hotel being new. It was eerily quiet in early July and obviously didn't have many guests. The breakfast was fine but a very small room - when we were there the hotel was very empty and even then, breakfast was full. Not sure how it would work with a full hotel. The main issue is the design of the pool area due to the windy weather in Mykonos. The hotel is built as two parallel long buildings with the large pool area down the middle. This has essentially created a massive wind tunnel which was causing sun beds to blow off into the pool and was impossible to use without being blown away! Such a shame and meant that the pool was always empty. We tried to use it once and then gave up and drove to beaches instead. It also meant every time we left our bedroom for the evening you'd be completely windswept by the time you got to the car! The wind in this particular location is like a hurricane at all times. We liked the staff and appreciated John sorting reservations for us at some beach clubs. Overall nice hotel but not a great location and wouldn't stay there again when returning to Mykonos.

Over priced food and drinks as there’s nowhere nearby to go. charging for bottles of water! A courtesy bottle every day as a good will gesture would be nice. However these are minor compared to our main issue with YI. Unfortunately Check out was at 11am but our flight wasn’t until 10pm. We asked for a late check out as on arrival we didn’t access our room until 10:30pm and we’re told that this wasn’t possible as our room was allocated to a new arrival. We then asked if there was another empty room that we could move to as the majority of the hotel is out door with only the spa and reception having air-condition which of you have to wait at the property for 9 hours it’s a very uncomfortable wait indeed. But again we’re told the hotel is fully booked and there were no rooms available. HOWEVER we checked on ******* and there was still availability for rooms and by the look of the hotel it wasn’t full. So basically this hotel lies and sacrifices the comfort and needs of current paying guests JUST INCASE they can sell a last minute room to someone else. Please don’t lie to your customers….. we can find out. In the end we moved to another hotel and paid for one night and used their facilities for our 8 hour wait. Best decision we made. A good hotel wouldn’t lie to their guests, they’d do their best to accommodate them as our 2nd hotel did.

Our party had 11 people, and we had the best time at the Yi Hotel. The staff was extremely kind, made sure we had everything we needed and gave us great recommendations for restaurants and activities in the area as well. The hotel is brand new and definitely a place I would come to again!
