If you are looking for somewhere to stay in Mykonos, you should definitely stay here.||My Fiancée and I have stayed in many different types of accommodation across the world over the past 10 years and consider ourselves very well travelled. We both agree that the Rocabella is without a doubt the best place we have ever stayed and is the definition of flawless.||Firstly, the staff here are second to none and provide such a welcoming and incredible service. Even before our stay, I had communicated with them over email to arrange proposing to my girlfriend (now Fiancée) on our balcony during our stay. They went above and beyond in helping me plan and put together a special experience to ensure it was as perfect as it could be without causing me any stress. Upon our arrival at the hotel, the staff were very friendly and informative about our accommodation and Mykonos in general. The reception team maintained this high level of service throughout our stay and remained approachable in person and even via text over WhatsApp. The bar and restaurant staff were outstanding as well. Every morning we were greeted with a lovely “Good Morning” by the waitress and she remained attentive throughout the day by every now and then checking in on us by the pool to see if she could be helpful in anyway. She made such a positive impact on our stay and she is a crucial asset to the team here. In addition to her, the bartender was similarly as impressive and his cocktail making skills were incredible. Every single drink we had was up there with the best we’ve ever had and we did not have a single bad drink or food from here. We were also very impressed with the housekeeping staff, they did such a great job in working around times people were in their rooms to ensure they were not hindering anyone. This meant we did not feel rushed to leave our room for it to be cleaned as they would come at a suitable time which was a really nice experience. Each time we saw them, they would always be friendly and greet us, despite having a tough job cleaning rooms in such heat. ||We booked to stay in a Deluxe Sea View Suite With Outdoor Mini Plunge Pool. When you think of luxury and a dreamy Aegean holiday, this is exactly that. The room was incredibly clean throughout with not a spec of dust, dirt or grime anywhere. The appliances and fixtures were all very well maintained with no discolouring, damage or build up of gunk such as limescale. The presentation of the room was beautiful with such a luxurious feel to it that felt in tune with the Mykonos vibes. The bed was incredibly comfortable and there were two different types of pillows to choose from to ensure you could have the right one for you. I prefer a squishy pillow which I used and my Fiancée used the firmer one so we both had a great night sleep. The views from our balcony were phenomenal as we could both see the sunrise and sunset over the sea from our very own balcony and even our own private pool! The balcony itself is very spacious with two very large sun beds which are larger than standard ones meaning they were very comfortable and could easily spend hours on them. There was also a table with four chairs meaning we could sit there enjoying drinks and food and even play card games. The shower on was spotless and very roomy. The temperature was perfect which could get very hot if we wanted it or nice and cold to cool down if we needed to. The pressure of the shower was perfect too as sometimes when we stay in places the pressure feels underwhelming but here we had no issues at all. The provided lots of quality showering products and amenities such as a vanity kit which was a nice touch. There was air conditioning throughout the suite which was controlled by a panel by the front door which could be set to as low as 16 degrees Celsius which we really liked as a lot of places now restrict how low you can set air conditioning, but not here! ||The facilities on site are brilliant with a very large main pool with lots of nice sun loungers and beds to use around it without. They have struck the perfect balance between having enough beds and chairs without it feeling cluttered. They maintain a very tranquil and relaxing atmosphere around the pool and bar with calming music at a suitable level that is enjoyable but not too loud. There is a gym which I felt was good with cardio machines and free weights. The only thing I would have liked to have seen in there is a cable weight machine to complete my workouts but this isn’t an essential. There is a spa here as well offering a sauna and massages but we didn’t use these as we were more than happy with relaxing and enjoying the rest of the Rocabella. ||The location is very good as it is a short drive into the centre of Mykonos town (Old Port) by taxi it is approximately 10 minute and by bus it is no more than 20 minutes including a short walk to the bus stop. Rocabella offer a transfer service throughout your stay so you do not need to worry about ordering taxis as the hotel and do this themselves driving you everywhere for around (€30-€40 per trip). From our research their transfer prices were cheaper than any taxi service on the island by at least €2-€5. However, I would suggest that you consider a balance with taking the bus as well if you’re happy to walk about 5 minutes to the bus stop as it is way cheaper (€2 per person per trip). It would be nice to see their transfer service slightly cheaper as we would have used it even more, but we do understand that their prices are already incredibly competitive with other taxi services on the island. ||I would like to thank the staff at the Rocabella for such a memorable and incredible stay. We genuinely are so grateful for the perfect service they have provided and we have already decided we will plan to come back here soon.
