Escape to Paradise: Mykonos Dove Beachfront Hotel - Where the Sun Kisses Your Soul (and the Wi-Fi Doesn't Suck!)
Okay, buckle up buttercups, because I'm about to tell you about Mykonos Dove Beachfront Hotel. Forget those perfectly polished travel blogs – this is the real deal, warts and all.

Well, my soul’s been kissed by the Aegean sun and is currently whispering sweet nothings about Greek yogurt and sunsets.

Let's be honest, booking a holiday is stressful. Especially when you’re looking for that perfect getaway. Something that's actually perfect. My hunt for a slice of paradise led me to Mykonos Dove, and I gotta say, it wasn't all sunshine and unicorns. But the good? The good was glorious.
First Impressions: Accessibility & Getting There (Because, Real Life!)
Right off the bat, the accessibility was… well, it's Greece, so let's call it "improving." The hotel does have an elevator, which is a huge win. They also offer facilities for disabled guests, which is a great sign, but I didn't personally need to use them extensively. The airport transfer was smooth, thankfully! Nothing worse than arriving exhausted to a chaotic transfer. Bonus points for the Valet parking – because sometimes you just don't want to deal with circling for a spot, especially after that long flight.

The Room: My Sanctuary (with a Few Quirks)
My room? Oof. It was… romantic. Okay, maybe a little too romantic. The dim lighting, the bathrobes (yes!), the slippers… I felt like I was starring in a cheesy rom-com. Blackout curtains? Yes, please! The air conditioning worked a charm, which is essential in Mykonos’s heat. Free Wi-Fi? Praise Zeus! And it actually WORKED! Wi-Fi in all rooms! – huge, huge plus. No more running to the lobby like a digital addict. There were some minor issues, the bathtub was slightly smaller, and the additional toilet was a life saver.

Food, Glorious Food (With a Side of Greek Shenanigans)
The breakfast buffet was… intense. Think a glorious explosion of pastries, fresh fruit, and enough Greek yogurt to feed an army of gods (or at least, a very hungry travel blogger). There were some amazing spots for Asian Cuisine (I'm still dreaming of that sushi!), and you could just sit there and watch the sun rise after a wonderful breakfast. If you needed to, they had Breakfast takeaway service.
The poolside bar was a siren song. I'm not proud of the number of happy hours I enjoyed there. Multiple. The poolside bar was also a gold mine of people watching which is a whole vacation in itself. The restaurants offered a variety, including vegetarian options and a truly spectacular salad in restaurant. I've got to give a shout-out to the coffee shop for the best morning coffee. Everything was of high quality.
And the room service [24-hour]? Bless. Their. Souls. Late-night cravings after a night of dancing are a real thing, people. Real. Things.

Relaxation Station: Dive In! (Literally and Figuratively)
This is where Mykonos Dove really shines. Forget your stress, because you're about to fall in love with this place. The Swimming pool [outdoor] is stunning, with a pool with a view that will make your Instagram followers green with envy. The Spa/sauna was a dream. The Sauna was a great place to unwind, and the Steamroom was… well, steamy! I treated myself to a Body scrub that left my skin feeling like silk. And a massage that quite literally melted my worries away. They have all the fun stuff for relaxation including a Foot bath.

Things to Do (Besides Lounging and Eating, Because, Balance!)
Honestly, most of my "things to do" involved eating, lounging, and drinking cocktails. But hey, that's a valid vacation strategy, right? The hotel staff was super helpful with arranging excursions, but honestly, I preferred just relaxing on the terrace, people-watching, and soaking up that glorious sun. The proximity to the beach was everything. The Beachfront was literally walking distance away!

Cleanliness and Safety: A Breath of Fresh Air (and Sanitizer!)
Okay, let's talk about the elephant in the room: COVID. Mykonos Dove took it seriously. They had Hand sanitizer everywhere, and the staff was incredibly diligent about hygiene. They had Anti-viral cleaning products and Daily disinfection in common areas. I felt genuinely safe and comfortable, which is HUGE peace of mind. They even had Individual-wrapped food options at the breakfast buffet.

The Minor Hiccups (Because, No Hotel is Perfect!)
Alright, time for some honesty. Nobody's perfect, and neither is any hotel. The Internet access - LAN thing was a little perplexing (who uses LAN anymore?!). I didn't use any of the business facilities to be honest so I can't tell you how they are!
But honestly, these are minor complaints. The overall experience far outweighed any small imperfections.

Escape to Paradise: El Mangroove's Unforgettable Panama Getaway
Okay, buckle up, buttercups, because this isn't your perfectly curated, Instagram-filtered Mykonos itinerary. This is reality hitting the sun-baked cobblestones of Greece. And let me tell you, it’s got its own special brand of beautiful, messy glory. This is my attempt at a journal entry, I hope this helps!
Mykonos Dove Beachfront Hotel, Greece: A Week of Glorious Chaos (and Possibly Sunburn)
Day 1: Arrival, Agonizing Decisions, and the Unexpected Power of a Feta Salad
- 10:00 AM (ish): Touchdown! Heathrow to Mykonos. Let me preface this by saying I hate flying. Hate it. The recycled air, the tiny seats… But the moment that little plane banked and I saw the blinding blue of the Aegean… Okay, I'll admit, it was almost worth it. Almost. Dragged my suitcase (which is already WAY too heavy, I packed like I was going to the Arctic) through the surprisingly bustling airport. Finding a taxi was a battle worthy of the gods. Seriously fighting for a taxi in Greece felt like the Hunger Games.
- 11:30 AM: Check-in at Mykonos Dove Beachfront. The photos online…well, they lied. It's even better. Seriously, jaw drop. The room? Pure white perfection. The view? Ocean, infinity pool, a whole lotta "fuck yeah." Immediately threw my bags down and debated whether to unpack or dive straight into the ocean. Decision paralysis. Ended up collapsing on the bed, staring at the ceiling, completely overwhelmed by the awesomeness.
- 1:00 PM: Disaster strikes! Realized I had no adapters. None. My phone was dying already. Had a mini-breakdown fueled by travel fatigue and the existential dread of a dead Instagram feed. Found a small shop 20 minutes away, the owner's English was about as good as my Greek, but we managed to communicate through frantic hand gestures and the universal language of "charger."
- 2:00 PM: Lunch. Settled on the hotel’s cafe. Ordered a feta salad. And, you guys… THIS IS IMPORTANT. This was no ordinary feta salad. This was a transcendent experience. The tomatoes burst with flavor, the olives were salty perfection, and the feta… OH. MY. GOD. I'm pretty sure I spent a solid ten minutes in silence, just savoring each bite and whispering, "This is heaven." Forget the Parthenon, THIS is what I came to Greece for.
- 3:00 PM: Sunbathing. Attempted sunbathing. Failed. Applied sunscreen (hopefully enough). Ended up falling asleep and woke up with a slightly pink nose. Note to self: Sunscreen application must be a religious practice.
Day 2: Wandering, Wind, and the Unexpected Charm of a Stray Cat
- 9:00 AM: Breakfast buffet. This is where my diet plans begin to crumble. Pastries, fresh fruit, omelets… It's a war zone of temptation. Ended up sampling pretty much everything. Regret? Maybe. Delicious regret.
- 11:00 AM: Exploration time! Walked into Mykonos town. So crowded. So white. So picture-perfect it hurts. Got completely lost within about five minutes. Which, honestly, is the best way to experience a place, right? Wandered aimlessly through the labyrinthine streets, got stared down by a very judgy donkey, and generally felt like a happy, bewildered idiot.
- 1:00 PM: Lunch at a taverna overlooking Little Venice. Ordered grilled octopus because, Greece. The wind was intense. Like, hair-in-your-mouth-and-half-your-salad-flying-away intense. But the view… Unforgettable. The octopus? A little chewy, if I'm being honest. But the experience? Priceless.
- 3:00 PM: Encountered a stray cat. This cat. This cat was the king (or queen) of the streets. Pure white fur, piercing green eyes, and a complete disregard for human attention. Until I offered it a piece of my grilled fish. Suddenly, I was the cat's best friend. We bonded. I think. I'm pretty sure it was judging me for not having fancier food.
- 5:00 PM: Beach. I went to Paradise Beach. It was… Paradise. (A little overly crowded, but paradise nonetheless.) Attempted to swim in the clear blue water, but the waves were a bit rough. Ended up mostly just hanging out, and taking my time.
- 7:00 PM: Sunset. Watched the sunset (again). Each one is genuinely different. This one was a kaleidoscope of oranges, pinks, and purples. Stood there, mesmerized, feeling genuinely grateful to be alive. Then ran back to my room to change for dinner.
- 9:00 PM: Had dinner at a small restaurant downtown. The food was great, the company was even better. We were able to share stories and create memories that I won't soon forget.
Day 3: Delos Day Trip (and Maybe A Near-Death Experience)
- 8:00 AM: Okay, early start. Ferry to Delos. Historical site, supposed to be amazing. Also, it’s WINDY. Like, actual, hold-onto-your-hat-or-it’s-gone-forever windy. I'm starting to think the gods have a vendetta against my hair.
- 9:00 AM: Arrived at Delos. Wow. Seriously. Even more impressive, just pure, ancient history. Wandered through the ruins. Tried to imagine life back then. Failed. Got distracted by the sheer beauty of the place. Found a statue of some guy, looked at him for a few minutes. Then I started daydreaming about lunch.
- 11:00 AM: Climbed a freaking hill. (Actually, I think it was a small mountain). Sun blazing down. Wind trying to push me off. Almost gave up. Twice. Third time was the charm. The view from the top… Magnificent. Felt a surge of "I did it!" pride. Then realized I was completely out of breath and needed water.
- 12:00 PM: Almost died. Okay, maybe not almost died. But I walked a bit too far for the view. Turned back to realize there was no path! No way to get back. The wind was picking up, the sun was beating down. Started to panic. Managed to scramble down a dangerously rocky slope using sheer terror as motivation. Made it back to the main path, shaking like a leaf.
- 1:00 PM: Lunch in Delos. The restaurant was the only option, but the food was actually wonderful. I ate with gusto. (I may have deserved these calories.)
- 6:00 PM: Enjoyed a wonderful dinner.
- 8:00 PM: Headed back to the hotel, to rest up for the next adventure.
Day 4: Boat Trip Blues (and the Best Seafood I've Ever Had)
- 10:00 AM: Boat trip! Supposed to be idyllic. Sun, sea, snorkeling. Except… The sea was choppy. The boat was crowded. I get seasick. Started to feel a little green around the gills.
- 11:00 AM: Snorkeling attempt. The water was stunning. The fish were colorful. The waves were relentless. Struggled to actually see anything other than bubbles and a vague sense of nausea. Managed to spot one fish. Celebration! Briefly.
- 12:00 PM: The buffet lunch. Not great. Seasickness officially won. Spent the next hour huddled in the shade, trying not to hurl. (Successfully, thankfully).
- 2:00 PM: The boat returned to the hotel. I immediately went back to my room, hoping to settle my stomach.
- 7:00 PM: Okay, redeemed myself. That evening, I headed to an amazing seafood restaurant. I discovered octopus. I discovered grilled fish, the best fish I’ve ever had. And the view? Perfectly romantic, wind-free, and absolutely glorious. This meal. This memory. I will literally never forget.
- 9:00 PM: Went back to my room to go to sleep.
Day 5: Beach Bliss, Beach Bumming, and Beach-Related Failures
- 10:00 AM: Decided I need a beach day.
Okay, so, what *is* the deal with, well, *stuff*? As in, everything. Like, is it all just… there? Existential crisis, anyone?
Alright, deep breaths. So, “stuff.” Yeah. It's... a lot. And sometimes, yeah, it does feel like it's just *there*. Have you ever gone to the grocery store, walked down that endless cereal aisle, faced with a sea of brightly colored boxes screaming for your attention, and thought, "Wait... *what* am I even doing here?" Yeah, me too. That’s my *stuff* moment. That moment when you're surrounded by "stuff" and you totally question the entire point of everything. It's like, is every product going to make me happy? Spoiler alert: probably not. That Captain Crunch you’re eyeing? It's got like, zero nutritional value, and it's just going to stick to your teeth and leave you wanting more. But you *do* want more. Why? That's a longer conversation, my friend.
How do you even *organize* all this… stuff? My apartment looks like a nuclear fallout shelter hit a TJ Maxx. Help!
Organize? Honey, you’re asking the wrong gal. My methods... are, shall we say, *evolving*. Okay, let's be honest, they're chaotic. My attempt at organization often starts with an ambitious declaration, like, "This weekend, I will conquer Mount Laundry!" Then, I'll stare at the mountain of clothes, get overwhelmed, and… well, procrastination is a powerful force, let me tell you. My best strategy? Just… *stuffing* things out of sight. The "out of sight, out of mind" method may work in the short term, but it's not perfect. Eventually, you *will* be buried alive under a pile of clothes, old receipts, and the ghosts of forgotten projects. But hey, at least you *tried*, right? And hey, if you *do* have a good system... please share. I need all the help I can get.
Is it wrong to *like* stuff? I feel like I'm supposed to be minimalist, but I love trinkets and… things. Am I a bad person?
Absolutely not! Look, liking stuff? It's part of being human! We're designed this way, I think. The whole "minimalist" thing? It's great, in theory. But let's be honest, sometimes, you see a sparkly unicorn figurine, and it just *calls* to you, doesn’t it? We get attached to objects, they tell stories, for better or worse. My grandma had this hideous ceramic poodle that she loved more than her own children, for some reason. Honestly, it freaked me out as a child. But when she passed, I realized that poodle wasn't just a dog statue. It was a symbol of her, of her quirky, beautiful life. So, embrace your trinkets, your collections, your stuff. Just… maybe don't go overboard. Unless you’re collecting unicorn figurines. Then, by all means, go for it. I can respect that. And if the poodle is still around... I'd probably give it a wide berth. And a good dose of disinfectant to be safe.
How do you *deal* with stuff you don't need anymore? I'm drowning in cast-offs!
"Drowning in cast-offs"... oh, honey, I feel you. This is a *major* issue. I have a whole storage unit (yes, *another* expense) dedicated to the "stuff I *might* need someday." Spoiler alert: I probably won't. This is where the emotional baggage comes in. It's hard to get rid of stuff! That old concert t-shirt? Memories! That hideous sweater your aunt knitted? Obligation (and a *very* itchy memory). My strategy? I try to be brutal. I really do. But then I trip and fall on my own idealism. The "sell it online" thing? Time suck. The "donate it" thing? Feels good, but let's face it, some of your stuff is probably… questionable. The "throw it away" option? Ugh, environmental guilt. So, I'm still working on it. But the key is to be *ruthless*. Or at least try to be. The guilt *will* be there. Embrace it. It's part of the process.
Okay, fine. But is there a *point* to all this stuff? Beyond the endless cycle of acquiring and discarding?
I wish I had a good answer. Seriously, I wish I could tell you it's all a grand scheme, that the stuff *means* something. Maybe it does. Maybe it's about experiences – that concert t-shirt reminds you of that amazing night, the poodle is a reminder of grandma’s weird love for decorative dogs. Maybe it's about comfort – that favorite blanket is a safe haven. Maybe it's just… life, in all its messy, imperfect glory. Honestly, sometimes I think it's just about keeping occupied. Because if you *really* start thinking about the point of it all, it's exhausting! So, here's what I've decided: the point is to find *joy* in what you do have. And maybe… maybe to learn to let go of the things that are weighing you down, emotionally or literally. But also, to enjoy the sparkly unicorn figurines. Because, you know, they're sparkly. And unicorns are pretty awesome, when it comes down to it.
What about future stuff? What are your thoughts on the inevitable march of consumerism?
Oh, the future! Let's be honest, the future of "stuff" terrifies me a little. The constant push to buy, upgrade, and replace is relentless. I mean, have you seen the new smart toaster? What even IS that? The desire for something new, always new. It’s exhausting, and bad for the planet. And for my bank account. I spend half my time trying to resist temptation, and half my time rationalizing the purchase of the thing I just *had* to have. Like that ridiculously expensive water pick I bought! It's supposed to be good for your gums. I’m not sure it’s doing *that* much, I have to admit. But I have it now. So, the future… it's complicated. I try to be mindful, to buy less, to support sustainable businesses. But I'm also human. I’m flawed. I *like* things. So, I guess I'll just keep trying. And hoping the smart toasters don't take over the world. It's a battle, folks. A constant, confusing, and sometimes sparkly one.
