Hotel Petinos

Rude reception staff upon arrival, then shown to room (the family suite) to find a large piece of broken glass in the patio doorway as well as finding the room in poor state (very mouldy bathroom window, damage to most walls). Upon finding glass, tried to call reception on the room phone, only for them to hang up... Went to reception to report the broken glass, only to be shunned away after they asked for housekeeping to attend the room and reclean. No offer of a sorry or compensation for the hazardous item found within 30secs of being inside the room, which could have injured my two young children. If room was maintained and the reception staff weren't rude then review would be different as has potential to be good, however on our stay it was poor. And without being picky, the pool edge displayed mould all around the edge, visible when in the pool.

We had a great family vacation at the Hotel Petinos. The hotel restaurant Blue Myth was excellent. We went to the Greek dinner as well as having breakfast there and another dinner. The staff was excellent. The food was all delicious. The hotel is also centrally located on a great beach and walking distance from other beaches and the beach clubs. Overall a fantastic hotel!

The air conditioner in my room was not working. I had to argue with 3 people throughout the day about it. The room smelled of Freon when the AC was running. It was horrible. Finally at 7pm I asked for another room, they said they were fully booked. Yet I could still book a room there on the hotels.com website. I asked for a refund and they scrambled to find me a room. They sent a technician to look at my AC who was just a kid and admitted he knows nothing about AC units. They gave me an old room next to mine where the AC was working. I just wanted to go to another hotel. They put me in a room off site that was old, probably from the 1970’s. It was not what they pictured on their site, it had an antique kitchenette.

Beautiful location, especially the delightful breakfast area. Pool is beautiful. Our room was for three but the third bed was a small child cot pushed into a corner and not suitable for my adult son.the room and bathroom was very small, but the rest of the hotel was lovely. We only stated one night and it was a great place to start the Mykonos trip, as it’s really on one of, if not the best beach.

Lovely pool with bean bags as sunbeds - v comfy. But imagine it gets very crowded and difficult to get a spot in high season. There were just enough bean bags and space when we were there. It got a bit noisy and crowded when a large middle-aged American tour group arrived. Waiter service to the pool by pressing a buzzer on the bedside tables. Rooms are lovely, simple, clean and with plenty of storage space. We were in a supreme family suite (four women sharing) and it worked well for us. The room was on the street side and it was a bit noisy with the windows open at night but with the windows shut it was well sound proofed (and later in the season you'd want to use aircon). Family room had large double bed and two singles in a cave-like room on the side - would be perfect for kids. Breakfast was a good buffet. Fresh squeezed OJ, fruit (tinned), cheese, meats, various breads, pastries, yoghurt, pancakes etc. The usual you would expect and if you're lucky to get an outside table, lovely views across the beach and the bay. Lunch/evening food is good too with all the usuals. Hotel is right by the stop for buses to Mykonos town (about 10 mins away). They go approx every 30 mins and Platys Yialos is the end of the line. So, no need for taxis. The beach is lovely and there are some good (but expensive) restaurants and bars with sunbeds that run along it. For more authentic and reasonably priced taverna, walk along the coast towards Skorpios to Nikalos Taverna - delish.

Great beach and restaurants. Location perfect for family with kids.

This hotel is truly a Greek gem. It has been owned and run by the same family for decades and from the minute you arrive you know they really care and you are in good hands. I have stayed here a number of times and I simply cannot fault this hotel. The hotel has a complimentary collection service from the airport, you just need to contact them in advance and let them know your planned arrival details. The check-in is quick and efficient. The staff are excellent. The rooms are very comfortable and well appointed with a fridge included. The rooms are spotlessly clean and cleaned every day. The buffet breakfast has plenty of choice and is available until 11am. Eating breakfast practically on the beach is really quite a pleasant start to the day! I don't want to write much more as I'm missing this place so much. I can't recommend this hotel highly enough. We were here last year to celebrate a special birthday for my wife. There was a crowd of us booked to stay here through our recommendation. I was 100% confident everyone would be happy with this hotel and I was spot on. Everybody raved about it.
