I took my family to Mykonos this year and it was one of the best holiday’s we’ve ever had. We stayed at the Palladium hotel which is set above the Platys Gialos Beach and surrounded by palm trees. It was highly characteristic of the Cycladic architecture: radiant whites and sky blues, and our hotel suite was very impressive, both in interior design and its furnishings. The kids loved the place, as our room (503), had a big private area in a garden with a swimming pool. Some mornings, it was really hard to drag them out of the pool to go sightseeing! They also loved the fact that there were plenty of water sports to take part in at Platys Gialos beach. George, the bartender told them about the windsurfing and the quad bikes they could rent and also suggested that we use the hotel’s car rental to explore the island. We found him extremely friendly and helpful. Chris, who was on the desk at night, gave us a useful Mykonos Sky map too, which was packed with information on sights, shopping and dining etc. In general, all the staff at the Palladium were very polite and professional.
We dined in the hotel’s restaurant on three evenings during our stay and had really great food and wine. We ate far more than usual because of Stavros, who insisted that we try nearly everything on the menu. However, everything was delicious and we really enjoyed our continental breakfast of fresh baked pastries by our pool in the mornings. The Palladium is ideal for families, because it isn’t too far way from the town and teenagers can take the ten minute walk if they want to go off by themselves. Also, apart from being comfortable and relaxing, the warm, friendly staff try very hard to make your stay feel like home. I would definitely recommend it to other holiday-makers.
