Terra Maltese Natural Retreat Mykonos

We booked a room for 1 night at Terra Maltese Natural Retreat, due to a transfer from Paros to the airport back to Amsterdam. We booked the room because of the discount, most of the hotels on the island were extremely expensive this time a year! We were a bit alarmed due to negative reviews about the condition of the rooms and the remote accommodation on the island, but by the time we arrived we were pleased to see that the hotel is working hard on its appearance and hospitality. Our room was spacious, had a comfortable bed, with a great view of the beach and next to the swimming pool. The staff was very friendly and helpful. The Ftelia beach is just 10 minutes walking distance and has a variety of beach bars. The restaurant Farma is a true recommendation, a bit further up the beach with great modernistic meals straight from their farm, with a great sun set view. Some smaller remarks about the hotel: We felt that our room looked a bit basic for what they offer (remember the rooms normally have cost 3/4 more of what we payed), some cheap looking items in the room, a couple of black hairs in the shower and between the towels and a quite noisy AC. They mention on their website they offer free transfer from/to the port and airport, but by the time we called they told us that they could arrange transportation for €20 pp because we didn't had their own. Overal a good place to stay for us for one night (with discount, Mykonos is too overpriced for us anyways) and we totally fell in love with the surrounding landscape of the hotel!

I stayed at terra Maltese for 7 nights and have to say the pool side is very relaxing, it’s a nice place if you want to be in the quite zone of Mykonos however you do need to rent a car if you want get about as there is literally no walking path and busses will take you hours ( me and my friend hired a quad bike directly from the hotel who charged us DOUBLE) as when we went to a rental place directly ourselves they charged us way less! I have to say the staff are very nice especially danaya and the other ladies but the breakfast was terrible. Also the room was nice and clean as the cleaners would come in everyday but it definitely needs construction. The water was cold all 7 nights and although I raised this with reception they still didn’t fix it, so I had to have a cold shower all week and the shower head was broken so I basically had to hold it to take a shower which was really annoying. Mosquitos were also everywhere but we realised you couldn’t open the window for even one minute otherwise yes they will come in. The toilet was very old, sometimes it wouldn’t flush and they also gave us a room which was very far away from the hotel pool, just a bit of a hike. Also not sure if this is a general problem in Greece but the water was terrible for my skin and hair as me and my friend had problems immediately after using it. Anyway the staff are really nice and the poolside is beautiful but the room we got was quite crap in terms of the shower head being broken and water being cold I would recommend staying here if ur looking for a relaxing time but no more than 3 days
