Saint John Mykonos Hotel

Lori Lorenz

Our stay at this hotel was really nice! It is a great location with amazing views out onto the ocean. Only a 15 max taxi ride to all the popular hotels spots and restaurants that Mykonos has to offer. The staff were really friendly and helpful. The breakfast buffets was delicious with loads of sweet and savoury options to choose from. Freshly squeezed orange juice and freshly cooked eggs and pancakes! The towel system they use around the pool definitely needs improving but the pool area itself and sunbeds are very luxurious. The room had everything it needed and was nice and clean. The hotel gets a nice sunset in the evening which is an added bonus

As a travel influencer, I returned to St. John Hotel in Mykonos in July 2025 for a second stay, expecting the exceptional service of my first visit. Instead, I encountered a shocking decline in quality, making this so-called 5-star hotel a complete disappointment. I strongly advise against staying here. The staff’s attitude fell far short of 5-star standards. A sales and PR manager was outright rude, lacking basic communication skills and blaming guests for issues instead of resolving them. Housekeeping was neglectful—dirty dishes, not even ours, were left outside our room for over 24 hours despite repeated complaints. I have photos to prove this unacceptable oversight. Most disturbing was the disregard for privacy. On two occasions, staff entered our room without permission. First, two employees opened the door and left without explanation. On checkout day, a staff member checking the minibar barged in, ignoring the clear “Do Not Disturb” sign, and left without apologizing. As a female guest, I felt deeply uncomfortable in my own expensive room. Imagine the embarrassment if I had been in a private moment, like stepping out of the shower. Additionally, some staff spoke only Greek, with limited English proficiency, making communication difficult for international guests. This is inexcusable for a luxury hotel catering to global travelers. When I requested to speak with the general manager, I was told he was busy and would call, but no follow-up occurred. Staff hesitated to provide their names, suggesting awareness of their unprofessional conduct. My first stay at St. John was exceptional, which makes this experience all the more disappointing. Mykonos offers countless luxury hotels with professional staff who respect guests’ privacy and deliver true hospitality. Save your money and avoid St. John Hotel—it’s a 5-star facade that fails to deliver. I’ve reported this to platforms like Booking.com and Kayak, as no compensation was offered for my ruined holiday. I had high hopes, but this was a regrettable mistake.

Absolutely Exceptional Stay! Our experience was flawless from start to finish. The service was impeccable, the rooms were beautifully designed with stunning views, and the atmosphere was both luxurious and relaxing. Every detail was thoughtfully curated. We can’t wait to return highly recommended!

Unfortunately I have to give them 1 star for my second stay with them. Let it be known that the first time I visited Saint John was a magnificent stay, how is it possible that in a span of a year the quality has been degraded to this point ? I stayed with my girlfriend and we had a terrible experience with the managers of this hotel. Their Tennis Court are in a terrible state, and no wonder, they have no rules whatsoever and guests can play even if they are wet, barefooted, etc… To top it all up, you can’t even do a reservation of the court in advance even through the concierge… What a waste and disregard for our time. After this incident, the manager was extremely rude with my girlfriend and literally followed us all the way to the reception when he saw that we wanted to make a complaint. Then he said that the general manager would call us so that we could express our concerns and unfortunately we kept waiting. He must have told the staff after this because we could clearly see that they started treating us differently after this, and not in a good way. Not even a single apology after that. Be advised, we stayed in one of their best rooms and their staff intruded in our room a total of 3 times. How can they possibly think that this is acceptable, and even keep doing it after we’ve told them that it happened ? It’s a total violation of privacy and mainly lets us think that we’re not really safe in there… I love Mykonos and the essence of this 5 star hotel leaves me with a bitter taste because I really appreciated the first time we went there. I really do hope they can improve and fast because their installations, for the most part are worthy of a 5 star hotel, I cannot say the same for all of the staff… Sincerely, Will

SERVICE IS TERRIBLE, DONT STAY HERE! Warning - Hotel is very nice but the service was terrible. Service at the pool, beach and trying to get around the resort was very poor. I had to constantly ask multiple times for things (towels, drinks, water, menu, etc) and they staff would honor the request 50% of the time and forget or just disregard the request entirely. At first I thought it was a fluke and made mention to the guest relations manager but after the 3rd day, it became habitual. I had alcohol in the room that was open, they would take the bottle (which wasn’t finished) but then not restock the coffee, creamer, towels etc. After the fourth day, I stopped letting them know and asked GM if we could leave early and get credit for the unused nights. They declined the request and instead of understanding why we were making the request our offering something/anything, they did nothing (which was consistent with the overall experience). There are many other 5 star hotels to stay at here and I would not ever come back to this place, even if it was at no cost. It’s very unfortunate bc the hotel is actually pretty nice in a good location. They have a beach so with the right management, I think it could be really good. Unfortunately the current GM is doing an absolute horrible job and should be replaced as soon as possible.
