We stayed at Saint John for 10 days ( just a couple of weeks back).
At first everything seemed to be wrong.
-When I booked I asked for a creemy-chocolate room(as orange and violet seemed not cosy on the net pics).We got the orange room!I Plus it was located right next to the reception building by the road where the first parking is located.I tried to complain, but they told me that the hotel was fully booked. That made me so angry.Is it a 5 star service?!
There were 2 conferences during our 10 days stay and 1 wedding.To be honest, it annoys.Too many business men and weddings make so much noise!
For the noise. Our room 1122 was really unlucky starting from the very first day when I didn't fancy it's colour)))
The electricity didn't work with the card attached to the room key.(Ok.They fixed it and we didn't need the card then).Then it turned out that air conditioner didn't work.(ok they fixed it and we could switch it on with the windows open).
The best was the view from our room veranda. Amazing!!! That made me love the room later.

Prons:
-Kettle and cups available in the room( but they didn't add more tea and coffee when finished-bad service)
-Great Veranda view!
-Quiet place(if there is no wedding!)))
-The food in all the hotel restaurans is VERY delicious( although more expensive than outside the hotel)!
-Amazing breakfasts!

Cons:
-Too much excecise to get to your room(stairs up the hill).Do not recommend the hotel for elderly people due to this reason.
- The day before our departure the pool towels disappeared from the room( room service took the dirty ones but forgot to provide us with the cleans).When I called and complained they happily said NO PROBLEM, HOW MANY DO YOU NEED? They brought us 2 brand new towels and then further charged us for the missing towels 60 Euro. Ohhh!!!

Please, be informed that Mykonos is a friendly place for gays and lesbians. in Saint John the majority of restaurant staff are gay(very nice girls in the Poll bar). 1/4 of the hotel guests copules were gay.
But they do not discomfort at all.Quiet and modest.

On the whole I enjoyed my stay in Saint John greatly!

Just got back from Greece where I spend two nights in Mykonos Grand, then off to Santorini, and spend the last night back in Mykonos. Because Mykonos Grand was fully booked (for my price range), I decided to give Saint John a try. I settled for a Garden Room which has at the lowest rate (EUR 180), I didn't think I would mind since I will be spending less than 24 hours there before my flight to London and I would get to enjoy the rest of the hotel facilities anyway regardless of the room type. My overall experience, albeit a short one, was disappointing and it was interesting how I find myself making the same complaints as some earlier postings in Tripadvisors. I have always used Tripadvisor as a reference tool when searching for hotels in the past but this experience had compelled me to register myself to this website and to share my experience.

The hotel layout is less than ideal: the rooms sprawls over the side of a slope/hill so it is a long walk from the reception down to the pool area at the bottom of the hill. You can either walk along the "road", which is a steep slope down one side of the hotel, or down a series of steps / stairs meandering through the middle of the hotel. Neither paths were sheltered from the blazing sun above. We were told there were no lifts. Going up or down the slope was a challenge and some of the stone steps/stairs looks worn out and anyone could slip on them easily. The whole hotel was badly sign-posted, we had a hard time getting back to our rooms. Once we dumped our bags, we rushed down to the pool only to realise the allocated beach towels were in our wardrobe in the room. I know towel thefts cost the hotel money but I would expect a 5* hotel to price that in for their overall budgetting/pricing. When I am on holiday, I want to have unlimited supply of beach towels, available to me AT the pool when I need them. Because of the size of the hotel complex, they had small cars that run around the "roads" within the hotel, driven by hotel staff to service guests or to ferry guests around the complex on demand. In theory it's a good idea but in practice I don't want to have to watch traffic when I walk around the hotel afriad of being run over, and the engines add to both noise and air pollution with it exhausts - not what I am looking for in a beach resort. A soft of golf carts will be better, but probably not powerful to negotiate the steep roads.
There were no wi-fi in the rooms, and you need to buy time units to access internet through hotel computers. I have been so spoiled in recent years that I would now expect FREE internet to be basic human rights. Our rooms smells stuffy and damp when we arrive. Air-con smells like it has a dead-rat in it. The hot water ran out at night when we tried to take a second shower - we didnt bother to complain because we were leaving the next morning. No one came to turn the bed late afternoon, and the blanket was pretty poor (prefer soft fluffy duvets like that in the Grand). We tried to get hotel to order us a taxi at around 9pm but were told they had a hard time sourcing one and we were behind 7 other guests waiting for taxis. It's not their fault because taxis are notoriously scarce at those hours but when we had the same situation at the Mykonos Grand earlier in the week, they immediatgely organised a hotel van to take all of us to Mykonos Town Centre - at no cost. The best Saint John was able to offer was pointing us to the nearst bus station. None of the staff had a smile, they all had grumpy faces, didnt feel like they enjoy working there at all. The staff at the pool side bar was a little rude, didnt speak much English, and seem more interested in chatting among themselves than attending to the guest's needs. We ordered a Mediterranean club sandwich (EUR 15), which taste pretty nice but we were not allowed to have it by the poolside lounge chairs and had to eat it at the tables down by the bar. Breakfast was ok, though the omelette chef needs to be changed as they were poorly executed.
All in all, instead of feeling like a king pampered by luxury and attentive staff, I felt I was a child being talked down on all the time and told what I can or cannot do. To be balanced, there are some positives: the infinity pool is great, private beach is clean, and location is perfect as a ride to town is less than 10 mins, and the room and bathroom are very spacious. We didn't have issues of flooding in bathroom, perhaps something they fixed since then. The bedding (pillow case and bedsheets) are of high quality and threatcount making sleep very comfortable. But overall I feel Mykonos Grand is much classier, more luxurious and staff more professional than Saint John - and will offer better value.

I stayed at the Saint John Hotel in Mykonos recently for a week with my boyfriend. Our first impressions of the hotel were very good - great customer service at check-in and our bags were brought to our rooms immediately. The room itself was lovely, spotlessly clean and had everything that you would need. We took a stroll down to the swimming pool and it was just as it is on the hotels web-site, stunning views and the pool itself is one of the nicest I've been in and there were plenty of sun loungers, umbrellas etc. available so no issue with that. The breakfast (which was included in our room-rate) was super and I couldn't fault that either. There was a full selection of hot & cold food, cereals, fruit, juices, coffees and the service at breakfast time was very good also. The night we arrived we thought it might be nice to eat in the hotel, as it was quite late when we got to our room, so we went to the restaurant and had a look at the various menus. The price of food in both restaurants was absolutely ridiculous. €50 for a fillet steak, €35 for a pasta dish....totally over-priced! Living in Dublin, I am used to paying over the odds for restaurant food, but this was Dublin prices plus an additional 20/30%, so needless to say, we didn't eat at the restaurant any night. I actually had one treatment at the spa, which was suppoed to be a 70 minute treatment, but in fact, lasted about 55 mins, however I was still charged the full rate. The spa is supposed to be 5 star also, but it was very very average and I wouldn't recommend it. I got the impression that the therapists didn't really know what they were at. The other thing that lets the hotel down is their "courtesy car". One of the nights that we couldn't get a taxi into town as there were non available, the concierege offered us the service of their courtesy caddilac, to bring us into town....but it was at a charge of €5 per person. I thought this was a bit much, given that this was a 5-star hotel. I know when I have stayed in other 5-star hotels, the courtesy car was actually a courtesy car....i.e. free! This hotel is perfect for couples and it was mostly couples there when we were there, but not sure it's a family hotel as I think it might be slightly over-
priced for a family holiday. I would recommend the hotel overall, but I would be mindful of the bits and pieces outlined above!

Very nice views, but the customer service at the hotel isn't good. They charge you for bread and will try to add extra stuff to the bill to see if they can make extra money. Very expensive meals and its worth it to get a ATV and drive in town or take the bus to eat. The hotels main pool is salt water and was freezing. Our tub was over flowing and I called the front desk 7 times and they finally sent a tech that said he fixed it, but it still flooded the bathroom. Don't get me wrong it's a very nice hotel, you just need to know these things before you book you trip. oh yea go to Jimmy's Gyros to get the best and cheapest Gyro for 2,5.
