Discovering Mykonos' Hidden Gem
As a husband-husband couple, we’ve always been on the lookout for travel destinations that not only offer breathtaking views and luxurious amenities but also a welcoming and inclusive atmosphere. Our latest adventure led us to the stunning island of Mykonos, Greece, where we had the pleasure of staying at the enchanting Once in Mykonos Hotel.
First Impressions
Nestled in the heart of Mykonos, the Once in Mykonos Hotel captivated us from the moment we arrived. The hotel’s design is a harmonious blend of traditional Greek architecture and contemporary luxury, creating an oasis of elegance and comfort. The warm welcome from the staff, who were both professional and personable, made us feel immediately at home.
Accommodation and Amenities
Brian and I stayed in a two-room suite with our own private patio and pool, with a spectacular view of the Aegean Sea. The attention to detail in the décor, with its subtle nods to Greek culture, added a unique charm to our stay. The bed was a haven of comfort, ensuring a peaceful night’s sleep after our days exploring the island. Everything was fresh, clean, and comfortable. The hotel’s amenities itself were nothing short of impressive. The infinity pool, with its panoramic views, was a favorite spot for us to relax and soak in the sun. The on-site spa provided a tranquil escape, offering a range of treatments that left us feeling rejuvenated.
Dining Experiences
Dining at Once in Mykonos was a gastronomic delight. We are not joking when we say that our dinner at the Infinity Restaurant was literally the best meal of our lives. The food was SO good! The hotel’s restaurant served a variety of local and international cuisine, all prepared with the freshest ingredients. Each meal was a culinary journey, from traditional Greek dishes to contemporary fusion creations. The romantic setting of the restaurant, paired with the exquisite food, made for unforgettable evening.
Exploring Mykonos
Mykonos Town, with its charming streets and vibrant nightlife, was just a short drive away. The hotel staff were more than happy to provide recommendations and assist with arrangements for our excursions, but honestly we found ourselves just wanting to hang out at the hotel the entire time!
Conclusion
