Mykonos Kosmoplaz Beach Resort Hotel

Honest Review of Kosmoplaz Mykonos Hotel

We stayed at Kosmoplaz Mykonos for 3 nights, and unfortunately it was one of the most disappointing hotel experiences we’ve had.

The room we were assigned looked nothing like what was advertised. We booked a Comfort Double Room with a Queen Bed, but instead received a room with two small double beds. The room itself was located in a separate basement building beside the garage, completely detached from the main hotel, and honestly felt more like a storage-level room than a 4-star hotel accommodation.

There is virtually no natural light. The bathroom window faces a cement block wall, and the only other window opens into the indoor hallway rather than outside, offering no privacy or fresh air. The room had a noticeable moldy smell, the blanket was dirty upon arrival, the safe didn’t work, and there was almost no closet or storage space.

The hotel’s online photos are extremely misleading. There is no realistic representation of these basement rooms or their actual location, and had we known what we were booking, we never would have chosen this property.

The hotel is marketed as a beach resort, which technically is true because it sits beside the beach. However, the beach loungers and umbrellas are operated separately, so guests have to pay extra to use them. The loungers are made of leather, which is an odd and uncomfortable choice under the hot sun, and they are packed so closely together that the beach feels overcrowded.

The hotel has two pools, one of which uses untreated seawater. Seeing seawater flowing directly into the pool wasn’t particularly appealing, and there are barely any loungers or seating around it, making it difficult to actually relax by the pool.

Overall, the hotel feels very outdated, and the decor is tired despite being presented beautifully in professional photos online. The reality simply doesn’t match the marketing.

I rarely leave negative reviews, but I wanted to write this to help future travelers make an informed decision. Mykonos is an incredible destination, but unfortunately this hotel set such a poor tone for our trip that it genuinely affected our overall experience of the island.

If you’re considering Kosmoplaz, I strongly recommend looking carefully at recent guest photos and asking exactly which room category and building you’ll be staying in before booking. We certainly wish we had. We totally feel we got scammed:(

Babis was the best - remembered what we like and was always friendly and helpful! Will go back to our favorite place on the beach!
