We had ear-to-ear grins from the moment we entered the lobby. We have stayed at other Relais & Chateau hotels, and have come to expect only the very best from them, but the Myconian Ambassador exceeded our expectations. The staff is sublimely courteous, friendly, and helpful. I cannot imagine how anyone would find otherwise. Our room was very spacious, with an ocean view, and even a private pool – on our terrace overlooking the ocean. A private pool was a first for us, and a wonderful surprise. The furniture was nice, and the room was very nicely decorated. As a final surprise, the mini-bar prices were not extortionate as they sometimes are at expensive hotels. It was still a bit hot when we arrived, and I fancied a nice cold beer on my new terrace, and was pleased to be charged only 2.5 Euro for it.
The restaurant service was very attentive, almost too polite, and efficient. As impressed as we were by the hotel, I must say that we did not find the food to be as spectacular as the rest of the hotel. We have no complaints, we only ate one dinner there, but we so love taverna food and ambience that we continued to eat out. The front desk recommended a taverna to us (called ‘Bonatsa’), which was super, so we ate there a lot.
We live overseas, so we travel a lot. We found the Myconian Ambassador to be one of our best hotel experiences. The combination of location, room, décor, services, and friendly staff add up to a wonderful package. For all you honeymooners out there looking for a superb luxury hotel close to (but not right on) the beach, I can heartily recommend the Myconian ambassador.
