For those who want to explore the different tastes and sights of Mykonos, the hotel's shuttles transport visitors to town about every hour until 1 a.m. Some guests enjoyed being removed from the lively downtown area, but others were disappointed in the lack of shops, cafes and restaurants surrounding the hotel.
