I stayed at the Mykonos Beach Hotel with my 17 year old daughter. Great hotel with infinity pool with phenomenal view of the water. The hotel is a 15 minute walk to the beautiful Mykonos town and a 10 minute quad drive to Ornos Beach. There is also a beautiful beach just across the street from the hotel. The staff was very friendly and very accommodating. I would definitely recommend this hotel.
Clean and comfortable. Friendly staff, great location

Stayed here for 4 nights in a Suite with a hot tub. The room was facing a busy street with trucks, buses and people passing busy at all hours of the day and night. Would not recommend this room type. The hotel itself is not a 5 star resort despite the rating on Expedia, at best it’s 4 star but more like 3.5 stars. Breakfast had a big selection but below average quality.
Hotel was great, location is amazing as its close to everything. Food was average. Selective vegetarian options. Dining area gets full very quickly so you have to wait to be seated.
Room service was good in terms of cleaning but make sure you lock up your valubles in a safe place as i found one of the cleaners in our room when DO NOT DISTURB SIGN WAS DISPLAYED. I did mention this to the reception and was apologised. Otherwise the hotel was a great stay. Had a very good room with a private Jacuzzi (Plunge pool).
Paid extra for room with swim up pool, but the room was tiny with few surfaces to put things on. Patio and tiny pool shared with 3 other rooms. No privacy at all. Nowhere to sit as just bean bags. Sun never touched the patio all day. Asked if we could change room but none available.Do not book these rooms as you pay extra for unusable facilities
Fantastic hotel, very close to a choice of great beaches (I recommend Palm Beach in particular which is a 15 min walk away, but there are closer ones also). The food for breakfast and dinner was spectacular and choice full, both veggie and meat options and different types of cuisines (Greek/cretan, Asian etc). The hotel offers free of charge events such as wine tasting, Greek food cooking classes, Aqua aerobics and DJ night. Excellent service too, everyone very polite and helpful. There is a cocktail bar next to the pool where you can order drinks from via the app the hotel grants you access to during your stay. Fab experience 10/10!!

Poor location with lousy beach close by. Hotel dif
Poor location with a lousy beach close by. Hotel difficult to find. Booked a standard room which was small, overlooked the street with very small balcony. Managed to change rooms to family type with extra cost. Food very mediocre. Would not recommend.
I didn’t like the fact that we had to rake our own luggage up and back down to the lobby… also we were with friends and the gadget a Nespresso machine and we didn’t even have coffee in our room I had to request it and was given instant coffee
The hotel is really nice and the staff is super friendly. Overall it was a great get-away but just a few things that I think would have made it better:
- they had different events every night that went until late so it would be really loud if I didn't want to participate and made it hard to sleep
- they advertise that they have parking on the premises. This I would disagree with because I had to find parking along side the road and sometimes circle many times or park in areas that I wasn't entirely sure was legal to park in then I would have to move it when a spot opened up.
- I wish that there was more variety in their breakfast selection. After day 2, it just got kind of old because it almost the same thing every morning.
That being said, we had a pretty enjoyable stay here and if we came back to this same area, we would stay here again.

Ok
Helt ok. Vanskelig å få solsenger. Var ikke privat strand slik det står i annonsen.
L’accueil de l’hôtel était top, avec des gens toujours agréables et même une personne parlant français.
Le petit déjeuner est copieux, avec un très grand choix au buffet, sur demande ils ont du pain sans gluten.
Pour la chambre le seul bémol c est le bruit le matin car nous étions au premier étage avec la cuisine juste en dessous.
Really great holidays thanks to all the kind and friendly Staff of Albatros! I felt me home! Atmosphere is great there, relax, romantica, freedom. Excellent position, on the beach. Really excellent cleaning, vaste variety of food. I loved wake me up because of tasty smells of pancakes entering from my balcony. Beautiful touching evening live music. Really grateful to everyone of you, you made my holidays!))) I would love to come back!
Nous sommes restés deux nuits.
Points positifs :
- superbe piscine, proche mer
- super transat, bel équipement
- nourriture plutôt moderne et correcte
- petit dejeuner très copieux
- propreté irréprochable
- malgré les points négatifs,j'y retournerai
Points négatifs :
- il est indiqué 5 étoiles : ce n'en est pas un.
Dans un 5 étoiles :
- les lits seraient de meilleure qualité
- l'accueil à la réception serait bien meilleure
- l'isolation des portes, l'insorisation globale aussi
- il y aurait un parking privé
- le personnel serait plus aimable
- les horaires check in/out
- le client qui reste une nuit n'est pas considéré de la même manière que le client du tour opérator qui reste la semaine.
Voici ce qui s'est mal passé :
Nous sommes arrivés avec un enfant de 4 ans à 14h. On nous a dit de patienter 16h. Ok c'est dans les conditions. A 15h40, on nous dit que la chambre sera prête à 16h/16h10. A 16h, on nous dit que ça sera prêt dans 30min. Finalement après avoir râlé, la chambre nous a été donné dans les temps. Mais je ne comprends pas pourquoi c'était toujours mouillé au sol. 2 heures que nous attendions et ils préparent la chambre à 16h
Pourtant, j'ai vu des gens à plusieurs reprises avec des valises dans le couloir à 13h faire un checkin
J'ai réglé la veille à la reception toutes les boissons du bar, la personne m'a débité en pound et non en euros sans mon accord et le lendemain ils avaient oublié des consommation en plus. Le gros défaut est la gestion de la réception.
Didn't like the nickle and dime aspect of resort eg $5 deposit for towels, no bottled water etc.... . Also buffet was not great but in fairbess it was only 10 Euros so perhaps not a bad value
I booked a last minute stay at Albatros to extend my stay in Crete. It was the best decision! This property has everything you need. Amazing and helpful staff, plentiful buffets, 2 swimming pools, pool bar and ice cream shop (gourmet gelato for only 2€), evening activities and AMAZING spa with great deals! I built my own 90 minute spa package for 60€ (hydrotherapy, back massage & facial). The resort is very close to the beach and boardwalk as well. I loved every minute of my time at Albatros. No problems at all.
Whatever you do, do NOT book a standard room or you will be very disappointed. The hotel is split into a few buildings and their standard rooms are in the old part of the hotel. We were there for the 1st night and got very upset with the overall standard of the room. It was clean, but think 1980s style of dark furniture, yellow AC unit which barely worked, crappy fridge, etc. Based on the pictures, this is not what I was expecting when I booked the room. Luckily, the lovely staff at reception were able to give us an upgrade for the 2nd night so we got moved to the nice part of the hotel: it felt like a different world! I finally understood why the hotel was rated 4-5* because the standard rooms barely scraped a 2*. Breakfast and dinner were included which was great seeing the variety of food on offer. What I definitely cannot fault is the staff working there. Every single person we came in contact with was very professional, friendly and willing to help. We will come back here but we will book a superior room from the get-go.
