Royal Gem is indeed a gem! We thoroughly enjoyed our stay and here are the highlights:
Location- Kalafati is a 20 minute drive from the old town, and it’s on the other side of the island. There are two lovely beaches yards away from the property- one had free beach beds which is fantastic. We were 4 friends staying at Royal Gem and this worked for us as we’d go into town and explore during the day and relax by the beach in the late afternoon. Some might say it’s far but I think it’s perfect for families who prefer the nice and serene surroundings, then go to old town when you want to. There are various restaurants and supermarkets just five minutes away too.
Loukas as Host- you cannot complain as Loukas is always available on the phone! He replies very quickly and always willing to help. Thank you so much Loukas!!
Flat facilities- got everything you need. Couldn’t really think of any to suggest- maybe just one- beach towels will be great! There were lots of towels provided and I think some beach towels will be really handy. The two air conditioning up and down is a blessing! There’s even a mosquito racket for the add mossy and I had fun using that! Flat was SPOTLESS which I absolutely loved. Kitchen was complete and we had a few cooking evenings and had everything we need.
There’s a pool which unfortunately we weren’t able to use as we stayed at the beach as it’s so near and handy- a few kids were enjoying it.
Overall, a very good stay. If we go back to Mykonos, I’ll definitely stay at Royal Gem again.
