Apsenti Couples Only - Mykonos

Just returned from 14 wonderful days at the Apsenti. Very relaxed atmosphere. Staff were friendly and helpful. Well situated for beaches and Mykonos Town

When we pulled up to the hotel, my wife was thrilled - it looked like something from a fairytale, all whitewashed with blue trim, little pink & blue hearts decorating the rooms, small nooks with hammocks for snuggling scattered around the property, and lace over the beds. I was a bit taken aback, as it wasn't on the water and seemed to have a bit too much kitsch for my taste.

My concerns were unfounded - We were greeted warmly, with sweet wine and a fruit tray, the staff focused on us as if we were the only guests, and the hotel is well suited to the "couples" niche.

The rooms are divided into "nests" (upstairs rooms) and "hugs" (downstairs rooms). Without question, ask for a nest; the best being "Feather Nest" as it has a sea view. The air conditioning works great, it was 46C (115F) when we stayed, and we had no problem cooling the room to 69F. Showers are large by European standards, and each room has a nice sitting area. Breakfast is served from sometime in the morning until after noon; no buffet here, they cook omlettes, make fresh fruit trays, squeeze fresh orange juice, and serve you at the wonderful patio tables. We can't comment on the dinners as we ate out every night, but from what we saw the food was great.

You will need to rent a scooter (Eur20 per day), which the hotel will call to have brought for you. Taxi's are expensive and inconvenient and the bus is...well, who wants to wait on the bus all the time while on vacation. Beaches are a short ride in any direction; we hit the local beach by the hotel, as well as drove to Super Paradise, Lia and other places. We also drove into town every night for dinner, drinks, shopping, etc.

My wife says this is the "girliest" hotel she's every seen, and the honeymoon hotel she never got to stay in. I agree, but it's not to the point where a guy is uncomfortable, and the great staff, nice rooms, awesome breakfast make it a fantastic place to stay. And, being a couples only hotel means no kids at the pool (which is quasi clothing optional, but like the beaches almost everyone keeps their clothes on...still trying to figure out why).

Looking for a quiet, romantic place? You've found it!

Stayed in 'Intimate Hug' suite at Apsenti.

First of all, the reception you'll get when you step into Apsenti is wonderful. The suite was very cosy and you immediately feel so detached from the rest of the world. Just 5 minutes walk away, you'll

find the Ioannis Beach where 3 taverns serve great food away from the buzz of Mykonos town.

The best part about Apsenti is the service. All the staff really do strive to make your stay unforgettable.

So glad we made the right choice with Apsenti in Mykonos.

Because of my job i have visited many hotels around the world,but at the end of your stay in a hotel,it's not the room or the swimming pool that you remember,but the people that tailored the service on your needs and made you feel relaxed and enjoy your vacation.I suggest Apsenti for unforgetable holiday.

We spent 4 fantastic days in this fairy-tale hotel, conceived to offer privacy and the unique sensation of feeling "at home" away from home!

Excellent service and as warm as it can get, from the very first moment. Smiling faces and true sense of hospitality. Discretion and full availability at the same time from the entire personnel. Not to mention their amazing gesture to serve us breakfast at 2.00pm!!

Dream -like decoration inside and outside (from the so sweet Aggeliki!), an unforgettable romantic set. Immaculate, spotless rooms, -attention payed to every detail!

Apsenti, (ask Apostolos for the origins of the name) is a lovely boutique hotel with impeccable services..and an almost "pampering", "spoiling" intention towards its guests I may say!

And early evening cocktails by the pool is a must!

See you all soon :)

Apsenti is a pretty little thing hidden for couples in Mykonos. Only set back is they r still in the midst of renovating the place during our stay so Apsenti is not fully operational yet. We cannot order rm svc to enjoy our nice little 'warm nest' as there is no chef available and there is no menu. Besides that, everything else is great. The rm is cosy and comfortable and even the towels and bathrobes are customised to suit the room. Apsenti is quite a distance from town but the bus-stop is jus opposite the road and the cab is not that expensive as well. If you are looking for a great place to chill out with your partner on this party island, come over to Apsenti. My partner and i really enjoyed the hospitality of the staffs and the cosiness of our 'warm nest'. They would be ready by this summer. We can't wait to go back there next year!

The hotel is unique... just perfect for us and definitely for anyone in love, romantic, happy who has the chance to step in this “other mykonos” named Apsenti.... If this is not the case ,the place will take care for all the above…If details define perfection then this hotel is just and simply perfect. As soon as you pass the entrance, you feel you are entering the "love village" …a speechless reaction cannot be described neither in a review, nor in words…someone has just to live the scenery, the people , the service , the atmosphere….. The owner and all the staff made us feel more like we were invited than staying in a hotel. We feel that we left something there...

something is waiting for us to go back again and again...what we took with us though, is our amazing memories...and the url of venus radio to remind us...

Of all my destinations in Greece, Mykonos was my most pleasured....due to the people at Apsenti hotel.

The owner and manager really took their time to know us.( And if you did not want to be known ,they absoulutley respected our privacy as well. ) What a Sanctuary !!!) They helped us with whatever our hearts desired, and this is so important on a holiday. Apsenti is situated within a five minute walk to one of the prettiest beaches on the island, along with a few delicious and inovative tavernas; AND on that same beach the sun just happens to set.!!!! How lucky we just happened to get ourselves situated. And I will add that it was not only luck, but I had booked this and all of my Greek Hotels through researching Trip Advisor.

After enjoying our first sunset on that beach, the second night we gazed directly from our balcony, sipping cauppuccinos with the pale hues of the sun on the lounge pillows; lilac, warm butter and pink....looking at the sky's reflection on the swimming pool, surrounded by white walls which blended in with the sky. It would be a watercoler painter's paradise. So, At a very reasonable nightly rate we were able to enjoy ocean view complete with sunset !

In United States, we have two bussinesses, and just the fact that after they hand delivered our breakfasts, I was able to dose off to sleep on the private lounges outside of my room..was a true miracle.....this place is THAT relaxing. Usually it is very hard for me to sleep in the daytime. The grounds of Apsenti are covered with cute little alcoves to spend quiet time with your love. Although it is couples only, I wish ond day I could rent the entire place out and have my duughter married there.

This hotel is a peacefull retreat atop of a small mountain, you can actually get views over to Delos island from this place. Mykonos island can b very expensive, and Apsenti really delivers a bang for it's buck! My husband and I did the math, If you subtract the cost of their superb omlette and caupuccino, The price of a night's stay just got better and better.

I NEVER in all of my travels, met two men.....that upon my departure, had me reduced to a slight tear; a tear that I might not see them again. Those are the very great, guys of Apsenti. We will undoubtably return to see them again. (Maybe for that wedding!)

For the record......I am aware there were some negative reviews of this place: If I had paid attention to them we would have missed out on the HIGHLIGHT of our trip. We also went to Santorini, and Zakynthos.

I do not personally know the owner.

I was not paid to write this.

It's just the plain truth, from a very satisfied

New England couple.

I Was searching on the web to find a hotel,to spend some days with my girlfriend in mykonos...as i searching i saw o hotel named "APSENTI"...

I went in the website of this hotel and i booked a room!!!!

What can i say?? Everything it was perfect!!!

The stuff very friendly,the breakfast delicious,the rooms and the pool very clean........everything nice!! But the best of all it was the small lounge areas for two that the hotel has all around,outside of the rooms!!! So Romantic!!!

We stay 1 week and we didnt want to leave! How Can??

So we booked 1 more week at octomber.....

It was the best holidays in my life!!

Thanks for everything!!

We stayed in the Apsenti hotel for a week at the beginning of October and we had a great time. The hotel looks great, it has a very romantic atmosphere. We especially appreciated the candles that were lighted around the property each night. What a job, with so many candles, but well worth the effect!

One of the great things is that each room has its private terrace with a bench and table. The bench will be covered by lots of pillows, so you are very comfortable. The room we stayed in was relatively small, as was the bathroom. But since the weather was very nice (even in October...) we were outside most of the time anyway.

The breakfast was excellent. We still dream of the fresh fruit and Greek yoghurt with (lots of) honey.

The hotel staff was very nice and helpful. They arranged everything we wanted for us and gave great tips on which beaches and restaurants to visit.
