Hotel Ilio Mare

My husband and I recently spent 10 days at this hotel and it was picture perfect in every way possible Our room was lovely, clean,tidy,spacious and very quiet We were there on a bed and breakfast basis and the breakfast offered had a variety of choices, there was definitely something for everyone. The location was perfect, a 10 minute walk downhill in to Mykonos Town where you could pass the time away wondering around all the little streets which are packed with shops restaurants, cafes, bars and bakeries, you also have Little Venice to sit and watch the sunset and the famous 4 windmills are just sitting on top of a hill where the views are amazing. Also in the town you have the main bus stops and the buses are very frequent and cheap. You can hop on to a bus and go to Paradise Beach for the day or Ornos Beach for the day which we did both. As we are avid walkers there are great walks to do and you come across quite a few Windmills which are spectacular All in all we had a lovely 10 days and would certainly recommend this hotel and Island to you all Best wishes Debbie and Oliver

I have read a lot about this hotel and hope to give a clearer picture. The most important thing is that the wifi actually is very good and we had no issues with it.The number one complaint is the beds. They are really, really hard. If you have a junior suite I recommend taking the mattresses off the sofa bed and putting them on the hard bed and covering them with the sheets. This worked for us and we slept ok. The room is large and clean with good air conditioning. There is ample storage space and also a fridge and safe. The hot water is a bit slow to come through and the shower or tap require about 5 minutes to come through properly. Our junior suite had a large double balcony with two chairs, table and two reclining chairs. The hotel is in a very quiet location with no shopping, loud music or evening entertainment, which to me personally was refreshing and relaxing. There is a local small supermarket (Daslios) about a 15 minute walk away for the basics such as coke, wine. bottled water and beer. There has been some posts stating that there is a road to cross to get to the beach. The road is very quiet with probably only a dozen cars per hour using it so do not let that put you off. The beach has blue flag status and the sea is super clean and clear. The beach is gently shelving and there are enough sun loungers and sun beds to go round, and a waiter to take your drink orders. Breakfast is served from 7.30 and consists of cold continental and warm European, fresh fruit, smoothies and different fresh breads. The menu for the evening meal is different every day, The time is 7 -9.30pm, and a wander round first with your plate is required before making your selection. There are nice tables outside if you get there early enough but a warning (for some anyway), there are some nationalities who think it is ok to smoke next to you while you are eating outside. YUK. Finally the staff are tremendous, from the maintenance man to the restaurant staff to the receptionists (who sorted car hire for us) who all smile and say hello. They are all an asset to this Hotel. We loved staying here and liked the fact that it was so quiet and peaceful. It was a joy to have life at a relaxed pace for a change. Sitting having a cocktail or two, watching the most beautiful sunsets over the sea, but also having attentive staff close by if you need anything is a pleasure.
