It was an absolute delight staying at Arte & Mare. It’s the best hotel to access directly to the beach where you’ve got for no extra charge your mattress. It’s very chilled close to the end of the season beginning of October, ideal to relax after a very busy September for me. Good price as half board included, Maria the managing director was caring about my comfort from the beginning till the end. Everyone has been very nice with me, Andreas the waiter nice to chat with, and Apostolos with his nice smile to welcome you or answer all your questions about the facility, or trip to Mykonos town, Airport etc. Thank you all 😘 What made this solo holidays enjoyable was the whole staff. I had a very good rest here, it was what i was looking for, it was peaceful and confortable. Inner peace until being back to the London jungle and busy life! See you! Nihat xxx

I would recommend may be to have Arte&Mare printed towels with excellent quality cotton ;) that would give an added value to the hotel, which is a great boutique hotel! Im not necessarily fan of classic style for the furniture, as i like modern, but it’s aligned with the greek lifestyle you imagine coming to a greek island ! But it’s a personal choice White is difficult to maintain but i guess the hotel management will repaint and refurbish during the closure some few parts. Tourists don’t pay attention to how they leave marks on the wall for exemple.

Location: although on the main road (to the big hotels further up the hill) it wasn’t noisy. Very close to the beach. Room: huge, comfortable with plenty of hanging space and a lovely outdoor area. Breakfast: freshly made omelettes. Yum! And the staff: super helpful and friendly. We had a late flight on check-out day and they let us use their facilities (nice shower and changing room) after our final few hours on the beach. A perfect end to our glorious Greek holiday.

Not a criticism - just a note - that the ground floor rooms are a little dated. Not a problem, I actually quite liked the shabby-chic. This may not be to everyone’s taste or expectations of Elia.

Location was excellent, facilities were very good, very clean swimming pool, great room size for a family of four. I loved the staff, Maria and her team did everything for us to feel welcomed, excellent restaurant and breakfast staff as well. Elia beach is one of the best I've been in the Cyclades islands - its a family place and makes you feel safe.

For those staying more than 3 nights I would strongly strongly recommend renting a car. The taxi prices vary by the client's head (50 at minimum to 70 EUR per ride). True, not easy to parc, but if you come around 6pm to the old port free parking you always can squeeze in a spot.

Nice Remote Beach. Good Rooms.

They initially try to give you a better room that is a little far away 2min by car, from the beach. For us it was inconvenient and decided to stay near beach, had to switch room because of that. However overall experience was superb!

Breakfast buffet is top level and having a private beach is a plus.

The check in and part of the hotel is beach front, however, most of the rooms are a steep road up the hill not near the beach at all. We didn’t find out we weren’t staying in the beach front portion until after signing paperwork at check in. The hotel provides vans to drive you to and from the 2 locations and acts like it’s fine, but it’s more of a pain than anything and felt like a scam. In the end, I was too tired to argue and just took the room they gave us. Booking needs to adjust the listing to be more accurate.

The main asset of the hotel is the staff. All the personnel were very friendly and fulfilled every request we had. They were just a bit less enthusiastic on the beach. :) A great service is the option to order food and drinks directly from the room through the app. The whole week, we were mostly served by one of the staff members. This gentleman made our vacation more enjoyable with his great sense of humor and quick-witted responses.

The bathrooms could use a small renovation, as well as the balconies. The furniture could also use a bit of love.

Our room was lovely in typical greek design (white and blue). The rooms are placed on levels and on each levels there are mini pools (so many options). The private beach is a big plus (staff working there are very nice also). The breakfast - very rich, many options. We also had lunch or dinner in their restaurant. Extra plus: as the city center or shops are not nearby, reception helped me buying some painkillers from the town (which shows how much they care about their guests).

We liked everything so not many things to improve. If I really need to find something: in the breakfast times there was less staff compared the guests which made the waiting time for drinks (coffee, tea) be quite long. However we were on holiday with no rush :)

We stayed in the hotel for 7 full days - family with 2 ados. We can only say that all was just perfect. Suite with swimming pool was well furnished, breakfast was just delicious (their coffees are TOP), salads have been always fresh, a lot of choice. Maria - the manager - and actually all stuff has been always ready to help - hospitality in this place really deserves 10 stars. Beach was clean, very good sunbathing beds, service on the beach also TOP! Never waiting to be served, prices have been reasonables. Also free shuttle bus offered by hotel is big plus (even if only 3x day), as taxi prices to the center very expensive. But a lot of restaurants close to the hotel with delicious food. Thank you all stuff in this very well managed hotel!

We liked all.

room, staff, breakfast

distance from town is 20 minutes. nothing else in the area. The hotel offered 3 shuttles at 11am, 6pm or 9pm. taxi to town was expensive

Everything was perfect. We got the beautiful room with great view. They have rooms near the reception and up the hills. We stayed in hills and everytime we wanted to go to the beach, hotel provided driver and in a few minutes we were at the beach. That is great organisation. Staff and host Maria are great and welcoming, they make you feel like home. The hotel has its own beach you can use. Breakfast was awesome. There are so many pools and they are celaned regulary and have salt water. Hotel is at great location and we needed 20-25 minutes to get to famous beaches and Mykonos city.
