De Light Hotel

A very friendly hotel, from the reception on arrival right through till our departure . Nothing was too much trouble for the very accommodating staff. The rooms are great and very spacious. and all have garden/pool/sea views.We had a fantastic relaxing week herald would return again and again

Wow....... What an amazing stay we have just returned from! This hotel is perfect for a high end romantic get away on a stunning island with beautiful sunsets. Straight from arrival we were greeted with welcome drinks on the reception balcony with stunning panoramic sea views. We had booked a deluxe room with hot tub but were supplied a complimentary upgrade upon arrival and our room was absolutely stunning! We had a huge balcony, panoramic sea views, our own hot tub and a ginormous bathroom (room 26). We stayed 5 nights. The staff are what really make this place. So friendly, welcoming and without being too much. Concierge service was fab we had the hotel book us cabs and a catamaran trip as well as hire us an ATV. Nothing was too much. All in all this hotel is the best we have stayed in for a very long time. I honestly can not say that i would change a thing! Here are a few tips for the trip: We had the complimentary transfers and this was fab, even though its a short trip to the airport it was nice to have the private transfer direct to hotel. The hotel supplies all towels complimentary and you can take these to the beach with you with no deposit needing to be paid. First beach is literally only a 5 min walk (the shirley valentine beach) we spent a day here and was lovely. You get the sun beds complimentary if you mention the hotel and the sea is lovely. Yes the island is not the cheapest but its not extortionate. (Watch the price of fish on the island). We highly recommend the 18o degree bar to watch the sunset (go around 7pm to secure a good seat or reserve a table) Cabs are pricey but if you want to stay out past 11.30pm then you need to use them as buses stop at 11.30pm. Cabs are all €20 per trip (plus tip not compulsory) be warned there are not many cabs on the island so ask the hotel to book one for you then ask the driver for his card. You need to give them 20mins notice for pick up. Buses were easy to use cost around €3.60 per trip we got the bus to mykonos town a few times and was easy enough (the hotel give you a timetable) and bus stop directly outside hotel. We hired an ATV for the day which i would highly recommend! To drive to the other side of the island it only takes 30mins so we had a day of exploring all the beaches and it was fabulous. Hire was about €70 for the day Finding jet skis was tricky but we found them the other side of the island. We had a fabulous meal at Buddah beach (high end fine dining) but well worth it if you like asian cuisine. We highly recommend having a fine dining meal at the hotel it was beautiful! We booked our stay direct with the hotel which gave us 15% discount on food and drink rather than booking through a travel agent. There is a small supermarket directly opposite the hotel which is great for water, cold drinks and snacks to take to the room. Wifi was good in all areas of the hotel we had no problems. We also took a catamaran trip to delos and also so we could snorkle this we would recommend also. All in all it was fabulous and we will be back!!
