N Hotel Mykonos: Your Dream Greek Getaway Awaits!
N Hotel Mykonos: Your Dream Greek Getaway…Maybe? A Brutally Honest Review (Prepare for Rambling!)
Okay, so… Mykonos. Picture this: blinding white buildings clinging to cliffs, turquoise water that practically begs you to jump in, and a vibe that screams “living your best life.” That's the promise of Mykonos. Does N Hotel Mykonos deliver on that promise? Well, buckle up, buttercup, because I'm about to spill the (salty) tea. This isn't a perfectly polished travel brochure; it's the raw, unfiltered truth. Buckle up, it's going to be a ride!
First Impressions & Accessibility (or lack thereof…):
Finding N Hotel Mykonos feels like a treasure hunt, frankly. The roads are… let’s call them "character-filled". Forget smooth sailing. Accessibility? More like, accessibility-ish. The website lists "facilities for disabled guests," BUT… and this is a BIG but… navigate with caution. Call ahead. Make sure the "facilities" are actually… *gasp* functional. I saw an elevator, which is great, but also some… questionable steps leading to certain areas. I wouldn't roll the dice on this if I needed full wheelchair access. It would be a shame to not enjoy a "dream greek getaway" because of an unexpected hardship.
Cleanliness & Safety – Feeling Protected? I hope so…
Alright, let's talk about the nitty-gritty: cleanliness and safety in the time of gestures wildly everything. N Hotel Mykonos makes a real effort. They boast about "anti-viral cleaning products" and "daily disinfection" in common areas. The staff seemed trained in safety protocols, but let's be real: how much sanitizing action can you really see? Every surface might look spick-and-span, but when you're ordering room service at 2 am after drinking too much ouzo, you'll have to trust that they've got it under control. I'd like to feel somewhat secure when I am walking into my hotel room, and knowing there is a doctor or nurse on call. They have a hot water linen and laundry washing system and rooms sanitized between stays, which feels like a really good gesture.
And hey, they do offer "room sanitization opt-out." As in, if you don't want your room cleaned, you can tell them not to. That feels weird to me. The daily disinfections in common areas should make me feel like I'm in a germ-free zone, so now I'm conflicted!
Rooms – My Sanctuary (or Not)?
Okay, so let's dissect my room… They mention "non-smoking rooms." Thank GOD. I’d have a meltdown if I spent my dream Greek getaway with a cigarette-induced headache. The rooms looked good, definitely better than some budget hotels I've slept in. The blackout curtains were a lifesaver after those late nights (and early mornings, courtesy of the Mykonos sun). Air conditioning was glorious. The bed was big and comfy and they had free Wi-Fi which is always a bonus! The private bathroom was clean and the separate shower/bathtub was nice. There was a hair dryer, which is a basic need for a woman whose hair is a tangled mess. Also a in-room safe box, and a mini bar for snacks. I had the air-conditioning on full blast to stay cool in all that heat. The whole place smelled like a fresh, luxurious version of "clean" which I love!
Internet – Wi-Fi? More like Why-Fi…Sometimes.
They promise "Free Wi-Fi in all rooms!" and "Internet access – wireless." Fantastic! Except… it was a little unreliable. There were times when I could stream my Netflix (thank god), and times where I stared at the buffering wheel of doom. Be prepared to maybe… unplug. Read a real book. Gasp.
Dining, Drinking & Snacking – Fueling the Fun (and the Hangover):
Right, let's talk about the food. THE MOST IMPORTANT PART of any vacation! You've got your restaurants, a bar AND a poolside bar. Heaven. The breakfast buffet was… well, it was a breakfast buffet. A lot of the usual suspects. I’m talking, eggs, bacon, pastries. But you can get "Asian breakfast" and "Asian cuisine in restaurant" as well, which I didn't try. You could also order room service, which is a HUGE plus! I really enjoyed the pool side bar!
On a tangent, the poolside bar. That's where the magic happened. You sit there, overlooking the ocean, drink in hand. The bar staff was great! Making perfect cocktails, and the happy hour was well worth it. I even got a snack bar for any of my midday cravings.
Things to Do & Ways to Relax - Finding Your Zen (or Not):
This is where N Hotel Mykonos really shines. They have a pool with a view. And the view? Breathtaking. They've got a spa! Sauna, steam room, massage… The works. I spent a solid afternoon getting completely blissed out. I was SO relaxed after that body wrap that I actually forgot my name for a few minutes. It was truly amazing. I really recommend it. They have a fitness center, which I may or may not have used once (Okay, twice). There is also a terrace.
Services and Conveniences – The Little Things That Make a Difference (or Don't):
They offer a bunch of the usual services: "concierge", "dry cleaning", "laundry service", "luggage storage". The "air conditioning in public area" is much appreciated. They also have facilities for disabled guests and a car park. It is a good touch to have a convenience store, so you can just buy small things on the go.
My personal favorite? The "doctor/nurse on call." Because, let's be honest, after a few nights of Mykonos revelry, you might need a doctor.
For the Kids – Fun for the Littles (or Not):
They advertise as being "Family/child friendly" but I didn't travel with kids. However, they do have babysitting service and kids facilities.
Getting Around – Can You Actually Get Around?
The hotel has a "car park [free of charge]," A huge plus! Also, "airport transfer" and "taxi service" are available. Considering the Mykonos roads are… an experience, the airport transfer might be worth the price.
My Verdict (The Messy Truth):
N Hotel Mykonos? It’s a mixed bag. It's got serious potential. The views are killer, the spa is heavenly, and those poolside cocktails are pure bliss. But the accessibility issues are a big concern, and the Wi-Fi could be better. It's not perfect. But hey, is anything ever perfect in life?
So, Would I Recommend It?
If you're looking for a luxurious, albeit slightly flawed, base for your Mykonos adventure… then, yes. But do your research. Make those calls. Set your expectations. And definitely budget for a few extra Euros to cover those taxi rides.

Alright, buckle up, buttercups, because this ain't your grandma's itinerary. We're heading to the N Hotel in Mykonos, Greece, and trust me, it's gonna be less "picture-perfect travel blogger" and more "slightly panicked, sun-kissed chaos." This is going to be a messy, rambling, and hopefully hilarious account of my trip. Here. We. Go.
The "Before We Even Get There" Debacle (and the Importance of a Good Carry-On)
Day -1 - The Pre-Trip Panic: Ah, the joy! That glorious moment where the emails pile up, the packing list evolves from "chic minimalism" to "everything I own," and you suddenly realize you have NO idea how to properly fold a sarong. My biggest fear? Forget my passport. Second biggest? Missing flights. Third? Running out of sunscreen. (Okay, maybe that's tied for first).
Day 0 - The Airport Gauntlet: Ugh. Airports. They're a necessary evil, aren't they? We got to the airport, and the first problem was the luggage, what a surprise. We tried to bring a big suitcase and 2 carry-on bags. We got to the check-in desk, and the lady smiled and said "Sir, that will be an extra charge for exceeding the weight limits". We looked at each other and said "Well, we didn't expect anything less". After a quick (and slightly tense) reorganization of the baggage situation, we finally get through security (where I always feel like a criminal, even though I'm carrying nothing more sinister than lip balm and a slightly stale baguette). Delayed flights, long security lines, and the eternal search for a decent coffee… all part of the travel experience, right?
Day 1: Arrival, the "OMG I'm in Greece!" Factor, and a Near-Disastrous Swim
Morning (ish): Landed in Mykonos! That initial blast of warm air, the blinding white buildings, the turquoise sea… It was stunning. Truly, it was. The N Hotel's shuttle was a little late, but hey, who am I to complain? We made it. The hotel itself? Chic, minimalist, smelling faintly of jasmine, and the pool looked divine.
Afternoon: The Hotel, the View, and the (Almost) Drowning Incident: After settling in, we changed and went to the pool. So, I'm not the strongest swimmer. I mean, I can doggy paddle, I can float, but anything beyond that feels like a gamble. I overestimated my abilities and made a bold (and very short-lived) attempt at swimming to the far side. Panic. Water in the nose. Flailing arms. Luckily some other guests saw the spectacle and promptly gave me a hand. Mortified is an understatement. My wife, bless her heart, just laughed. The rest of the day I spent next to the water, safe and sound, sipping a very necessary cocktail.
Evening: Sunset, Souvlaki, and a Drunken Stumble: Oh, the sunset! Mykonos sunsets. They are truly everything you see on Instagram, and more. We watched the sky turn all shades of pink and orange while drinking wine, and the pure beauty of the view made me forget the earlier humiliation. Dinner was at a little taverna in Mykonos town, and the souvlaki… chef's kiss. After a few glasses of wine, we decided to explore the charming streets of Mykonos town. One too many steps out of cobblestone alley, and I was on the floor. Note to self: cobblestones + drunk + heels = recipe for disaster.
Day 2: Beach Bliss, Artful Adventures, and a Misguided Attempt at Greek Dancing
Morning: Paradise Found (Literally): Today was all about the beach. We went to Paradise Beach, a real party. (Though, to be fair, it may be because I was already a bit burnt from yesterday. Lesson learned: reapply that sunscreen constantly. I looked like a cooked lobster later that day.)
Afternoon: Art and Culture (and the Quest for the Perfect Photo): After a good meal and some beach time, we tried to get some culture. The Mykonos Windmills are beautiful. Tried to take some pictures, but the Instagram-perfect shots were an illusion. Let's just say my photography skills are still a work in progress.
Evening: Greek Night (and a Lesson in Humility): A traditional Greek night! Food, music, and dancing. I'm not a natural dancer, and trust me, the Greeks know how to move. I attempted a sirtaki, tripped over my own feet multiple times, and pretty much ended up looking like a confused octopus. My wife, on the other hand, was glorious. She was born for this! I sat back down with a glass of wine and just watched, content to appreciate the beauty of the moment.
Day 3: Delos Day Trip, Emotional Rollercoasters, and the Unexpected Delight of a Hidden Taverna
Morning: Boats, History, and Sunburn Redux: We took an early ferry to Delos, a nearby island packed with ancient ruins. It's a UNESCO World Heritage site, and the history is incredible. But between the ancient history and the burning sun, I was a bit overwhelmed. It's a must-see, but my brain felt pretty fried by lunchtime.
Afternoon: Finding Serenity: Back at the hotel, I just wanted to relax and avoid the sun! I spent a few hours by the pool, just reading and letting the sun dry out the last drops of seawater from the day before.
Evening: A Taverna Revelation: After, we explored the streets, and stumbled upon the most amazing taverna, tucked away on a tiny side street. This place… it wasn't fancy, it was a little rough around the edges, but the food was incredible. It was one of those meals that just makes you want to close your eyes and savor every bite.
Day 4: Water Sports, Beach Clubs, and the Realization That All Good Things Must End
Morning: Jetskiing, and the Fear of Death: Today was adventurous! We decided to try some water sports. I, being the adventurous one, decided to go for a jetski. I might have been a little cocky, a little too close to the waves. I found myself going faster and faster until, suddenly, I was airborne! I landed in the water and swore to never do it again.
Afternoon: Beach Clubs, and people-watching: We went to a beach club, which was good fun! The music was loud, the drinks were flowing, and the people-watching was top-notch. But now the end of the trip was near.
Evening: The Last Sunset (and the Sadness of Leaving): We watched our last sunset here in Mykonos. It was beautiful, but a little bit melancholy. The trip had been absolutely amazing. I was so sad.
Day 5: Departure (and the Promise of a Return)
- Morning: Last-Minute Souvenir Scramble and Airport Drama: We managed to squeeze in a last-minute souvenir hunt before heading to the airport. Then the waiting. This time, the flight was delayed. But as I sat there. I was already planning my return. After all, Mykonos, you had me at hello.
Final Thoughts (and the Importance of Embracing the Mess)
Mykonos was incredible. It was beautiful, chaotic, and full of moments I'll never forget (even the embarrassing ones). It wasn't perfect, far from it. I got sunburned, I nearly drowned, and I made a complete fool of myself dancing.
But that's the beauty of travel, isn't it? It's not about the perfectly curated Instagram feed. It's about the mishaps, the surprises, the moments that make you laugh, cry, and feel truly alive. So go out there, embrace the mess, and have the best, most imperfect adventure of your life.
