I think I was expecting more of a bnb, but this was fairly similar to a North American style motel. Including needing to fill out a proper check-in form upon arrival, as well as a small tourist tax you need to pay (0.50e a day) and a cleaning service that comes and freshens your room everyday.
Mina was very wonderful and helpful during our stay, she picked my friend and I up from the airport and arranged a ‘cab’ ride back for our early departure flight. She even lent us some proper beach towels.
And this place is steps away from the beach, multiple restaurants, a grocery store right across the street and a really good 24 hour bakery so that’s a large plus.
However Mykonos Town while said to be in walking distance, that walk is at the side of a very dangerous road that I wouldn’t suggest walking on. Even Ornos itself is a bit unsafe to walk around, as the the roads have no proper sidewalks. If you’re planning to go into town, I would suggest paying for the bus instead which isn’t that expensive but does only come every hour and increases price at night.
I think my biggest disappointment was the pool wasn’t even filled or ready to be used when we were there, half the reason we’d booked and paid the price for the place was because of the pool. Another thing was our bed was fairly uncomfortable- very firm mattress- that my friend and I were sore from sleeping on when we woke up in the morning. The shower as well is one with no overhead shower rinser, just one that you have to hold yourself.
Overall I really appreciated Mina’s kindness and hospitality, and the location is perfect for walking to and from the beach area— but be prepared to bus into town as well for the possibility the pool won’t be filled upon arrival.
