Santa Marina, a Luxury Collection Resort, Mykonos

Advertised as Shown! From the moment we arrived at airport we experienced the best customer service from every one we encountered. The hotel car service was gracious. The team outside the hotel upon arrival - friendly and courteous. The front desk staff and the Asst FO Manager so thoughtful and considerate. 🥰 The restaurants (Elias and BuddaBar) are an excellent respite from a long day on the beach. The Beach is private and a team which anticipates your every wish! The room. The view. Luxurious accommodations all around. My husband and I celebrated our 14th anniversary here and we shall return! Breathtakingly Beautiful! Thank you to everyone on the Santa Marina staff. Excellent 5-star resort! Must stay.

I stayed at the Santa Marina last week with a close friend. From beginning to end it took my breath away. The resort is impeccable, clean, beautifully designed, and a tiny haven away from the hustle of life. The food is delicious, perfectly capturing the flavors of the region (coming from someone obsessed with food). And the views from the resort are simply amazing, adding to the overall experience. With all that said, what really sets Santa Marina apart is the staff. From the moment we arrived, everyone greeted us with a smile and was more than accommodating. I can’t help but imagine if the rest of the world were more this way. Frania was the first person we met, and her warmth and attention to detail were off the charts. Every morning, I looked forward to seeing her at breakfast, sharing some laughs, and feeling genuinely cared for. She quickly introduced us to Stefanos at the Oasis pool, who took care of us all week. Stefanos not only makes the best Paloma; he’s charming, kind, and witty. His customer service is excellent, truly unparalleled. Spiros and George rounded out our team of our favorites. They all worked so well together to make our experience memorable. Santa Marina is lucky to have such kind, talented, and professional individuals to represent them, and we were lucky to have met them. Truly an experience of a lifetime, and one I’ll never forget!

It has nice decoration and nice furniture lovely beach and good views I would love to go again soon and stay there. I have only been for coffee, food and beach . The sea is clean the towels clean the service fantastic and the wc super clean so all good

How very fortunate my wife and I are to have traveled the world and stay at some of the finest resorts and hotels. And as a couple looking to see as many of the world's cities-towns-villages once- and then on to the next- we do a great deal of research and read thousands of reviews to do our very best to hit a place to rest that most others highly recommend. Sometimes those resorts and hotels and Inns don't hit the bar (and that's OK)-- yet SANTA MARINA was way above it. First we followed those who said stay outside Mykonos city center and relax in Ornos-- which after visiting little Venice multiple times to shop and dodging the enormity of visitors filling the streets it ended up-- for us-- being a great choice. Next we wanted a little beach time and considering the lofty costs to beach at the private beach clubs in and around Mykonos we loved the idea they had a private beach which YES was awesome with terrific sunbeds, lounges, seaside staff. The infinity pool area was terrific and had spa-like serenity and at night was just gorgeous. Here again- great staff! The Buddha bar was very cool with very exotic interiors and lucky for us in low season not very crowded. Great food and even better drinks perched seaside, superb. Our breakfast buffet included due to our Bonvoy status was a top 10 worldwide. Great offerings of hot, cold, sweet, a little of everything-- the OJ was top flight-- and yet again tremendous and very attentive service. As for the suite--- a WOW moment indeed- lovely decorated and appointed with a balcony view that was just crazy beautiful. I think we took about 200 pix from the balcony-- and the first night there was a fabulous wedding right under our suite which was right out of a Hollywood movie. Lastly I will call out 3 staff members who sadly were working their last few days before the resort closed for winter. A big thanks to Victoria, Alexia, and Dragana- I can awfully chatty Im told and asked about a hundred favors and everyone was granted with big smiles. And in a town with few taxis they had them at the ready much quicker than we expected. Sadly I doubt we will visit Mykonos again-- but if we do-- we will definitely stay at this top10 global resort. This is the place to stay. btw--- go to Delos-- it is a magnificent island rich in history-- and have the desk staff arrange the tour as it was superb!

Having been in many luxury hotels , SM wouldn’t be on my top 20 list. Most everything was ok , staff was nice , food was ok . My balcony was quite large but only had a couple of chairs .. What was most upsetting is that I accidentally left a bathing suit that I purchased in Mykonos, in my room’s bathroom. When I noticed, it was too late to go back . I called the hotel and they told me they couldn’t find anything. I found it really odd as I know there is only one place that it could have been . I wonder if some staff person is wearing my suit now

Beautiful property! Great dining options, very helpful staff! Complimentary breakfast and shuttle a plus!

This hotel is stunning and the service matches it. We have stayed in some of the best hotels in the world and this one is amongst the top of the list. The grounds are beautiful and immaculately well kept. The service is second to none, the staff go above and beyond. The breakfast is amazing. The beech is out of this world. Can’t fault this hotel. Loved it and highly recommend it.

My Husband and I have visited Santa Marina now every year since 2014, throughout that time we have witnessed lots of change ( always for the better) and every year we wonder how it is possible to improve yet somehow year on year they do. Santa Marina is an extremly special place to us, with the views of the Yachts and the endless blue Aegean, there is a wonderful sense of calm everywhere you go which makes it the perfect place to unwind on holiday. Although if you do want a bit of party Buddha Bar can certianly offer that. This year were kindly upgraded to a beautiful deluxe sea view room which had a great outdoor space and wonderful views. Having stayed in most rooms types now inc the suites I can say they are all fantastic, they all have stunning views and the beds are oh so comfortable. I'd like to say a huge thank you to the bar manager Nick who really looked after me this year after my Husband had to fly home early. Nick always goes above and beyond to make us feel welcome and we look forward to seeing him every year. He is a great sommelier and fantastic mixologist with a brilliant team behind him. Honestly i've never come accross a bar that is so well ran and efficient. Buddha Bar is an absolute must on your trip to Mykonos if you like Pan-Asian food. Now for the show stopper of Santa Marina - The Beach! Thank you to George and all of the team, walking down in the morning to my favourite sunbed with towels already laid out without having to ask, now that's service! Always happy and not far away the service levels on the beach are exemplary. If you are unsure about booking Santa Marina, it is the definition of class and style. There are so many beautiful hotels on the island of which I have tried a few, but I always come back to what feels like home, Santa Marina. We always travel in September, for us it's the best time. June-Aug can be very busy and I guess Mykonos would probably feel like a different experience, so if you are unsure of when is best to travel and you are flexible - Septemeber is your one. If I had one small critique it would be about the reception staff, I can't put my finger on what it is about them but at check out they seemed a bit 'grumpy', they were not rude but I think there is room for improvement there considering how good everything else is. See you next year - Lucy Ware.

Santa Marina delivered as always. This was the third time I stayed there and as per usual the bar, restaurant, breakfast staff was amazing. Nick Zachiotis, bar manager, whom I’ve known for 6 years was amazing and went out of his way to create a nice, relaxed and fun atmosphere. Marios Kaisaritis and Marina Kazantzoglou were both super nice and also together with Nick made the stay extra special. The one big downside is the receptionist staff who always give the worst room to guests upon arrival. I guess this is training from the manager Knosmos. Never have I had a hotel manager storm off because he/she has been given constructive criticism. With Kosmos customer service level he should be handling the baggage of guest, NOT be client facing. It’s not fair on the guests.
