We stayed on Mykonos for 4 nights of our Honeymoon. The staff at Hotel Deliades was wonderful and very friendly. We got a much bigger room than we booked for, 2 bedroom suite with a living area situated in between the bedrooms. Would be well suited for a family. The veranda with the sea view was wonderful, we got pizza delivery one night and ate dinner out there. We also ate at the hotel restaurant a couple times out of convenience, but the food was actually pretty good.

The pool is smaller than in the pictures, and we didn't use it as it wasn't terribly warm during our stay. It was also very windy! The beach is just a short walk from the hotel. As well as the bus stop that takes you into Mykonos Town where you can catch another bus to any of the other beaches. We would definitely stay at Deliades again. It seemed to be a convenient location that was set away from the main town.

I would highly recommend this hotel. We stayed here for a week to end our month long adventure through Europe. Everything was fabulous from our room, to the great staff and the wonderful food! The location was perfect, you could see the beach from our room and it was just a 4-5 minute walk to the beach. The bus was only 10-15 minutes to the city centre as well.

We booked a superior room with a sea view, which was not available for the first of our 6 nights. Moved next morning, and the sea view room deffinitely worth it. Large, about 25sq mts. balcony with view of 2 bays. Was a bit windy at times, so could not always use it. Beach is sheltered though. They will let you take sunbeds from the pool area to your balcony.
Good size room, large 4 poster bed - did creak a bit.
Very good breakfast. Continental, but you can order fried / scrambled eggs.
Ate dinner here twice. Food is quite acceptable, but withought being spectacular, but the view is superb if you make sure you have an outside table,.
Pool is fairly minute. Didn't use it. they do have a sun terrace with a hot tub.

The hotel is located up a steep hill, about 100 mts from the beach. Decent beach at Ornos. Sunbeds €6 for 2. We did catch the boat one morning to one of the southern beaches. Charge you 16 euro for 2 sunbeds! Also deffinatly not for the homophobic.
Takes about 45 mins to an hour to walk into Mykonos town. Otherwise a good local bus service. Think it was €1-60 each way.
Prices on Mykonos are about half as much again as on Naxos. It's also much more cosmopolitan - less 'Greek'.

Hotel staff were very friendly and helpful.

Recommend the boat trip to Delos. Ancient ruins etc. Well worth the visit.

If I ever came back to mykonos, I would stay at the Deliades again, but as I was less keen on the island, will probably not. Would not want to put anyon off visiting once, but I think there are a lot more Islands I would go to first before I went back.

We are very experienced travelers and we have been to Mykonos a dozen times, so we know the island and its accommodations. We were traveling with another family and wanted to select a hotel that better fit our friends' price range. After an extensive search through several sites (including Trip Advisor, unfortunately), we settled on the Deliades. The reviews were too good to be true (literally) and the value was nowhere near the price. And, we probably should have been tipped off when they asked for a three-day, non-refundable advance, but weren't.

The pick-up at the airport was perfect but, unfortunately, the highlight of the trip. It was when we checked in and went to our room that the surprises began. We specifically asked and paid for for a two-bedroom and two-bathroom arrangement, since we have an older daughter and everyone likes their space. The actual "suite" was a tiny bedroom with a bed that barely qualified as a double (advertised as a king), with the second "room" being two twin beds sitting in the living room, behind the couch. When we asked what happened to the room we booked they told us "you got it, two rooms and two bathrooms." Only after checking on their website site and pushing on them a little did we discover that they had the room we actually booked - only they gave it to another family!

We immediately began looking for an alternative hotel (and amazingly for July, found it) but it wasn't available for two days. We informed the hotel we were leaving after only two days, and why we were leaving, but there was no offer of a refund for the third day, despite acknowledging that we didn't get the room we requested and paid for.

While stuck there for two days, we got to learn all the unfortunate little secrets about the hotel. On the first morning, when I went to get breakfast at the buffet, I found three disgustingly dirty dishes in the first five in touched. I showed them to the apparently overworked and harried staff and the response was "uh, sorry." After that, I cleaned any dish I touched before using it. The swimming pool (which was about 1/3 the size of its picture on their site) was situated under an electrical transformer, which is something to think about in the 30-50 mph wind gusts typical of Ornos. We were in what was supposed to be one of the best rooms, which was situated immediately above the road (which, fortunately, was fairly quiet after about 1am or so). I could go on, but why.

At $200-250 dollars a night, this room would have been a fair value. At $500 a night (even for July in Mykonos), it was highway robbery. When you add in the arrogant and dismissive attitude of the owner and the distracted and harried nature of the staff (factors I assume are related), you have a hotel only fit for people who have no other alternative.

Also, I have to question Trip Advisor's role in this unfortunate incident - since out of 81 current reviews there are 60 excellent, 2 average, 1 poor, and 1 terrible. This hotel isn't terrible but it's difficult to imagine that nearly 80% of real, authentic, UNCOMPENSATED people actually made these judgments. It seems much more likely that, despite the prominent notices of zero tolerance by Trip Advisor, that these reviews were by paid hacks.

This hotel isn't terrible but, for this kind of money, there are at least a dozen (two dozen?) better options on Mykonos. Do yourself a favor and find one of them.
