Cavo Tagoo is Mykonos at its most glamorous. The hotel clings to the rocks of Tagoo, a ten-minute walk from the Old Port, and is built in the white cubic style of the island, with terraces stepping down to the sea. It has ninety-four rooms and suites in nine categories, from Premium Rooms and Junior Suites to Cave Pool Suites and the grand Golden Villas, and many of the suites have their own private pool or hot tub. There is a saltwater infinity pool, heated pools for cooler days, a spa with a sauna and steam room, a gym and two restaurants: Meraki, the hotel’s own, and Zuma, the well-known Japanese restaurant inside the resort. Guests arrive for the view across the bay to the windmills and the sunset, and they stay for the service.
Location and getting around
Tagoo sits on the cliff just north of the Old Port. The hotel says the walk to the centre of Chora takes about ten minutes, and a complimentary shuttle links the hotel with the town for all guests. The walk is along a coastal road, so most people use the shuttle or a taxi after dark, and the hotel arranges private airport, port and island transfers through its concierge. Parking and valet are free, which is useful if you hire a car.
The rooms
There are nine room categories, running from Premium Rooms with sea views through Junior Suites and Suites to Cave Pool Suites, Golden Villas and, at the top, a three-bedroom Diamond Villa. Many of the suites and villas have private pools or hot tubs, so check each description when you book.
The pool area is mostly for in-house guests, and from the early evening it turns into a lounge venue with a bar and restaurant, so it is lively rather than silent after dark. If you want quiet, choose a room away from the pool terrace.
Who it suits
Couples on a honeymoon or anniversary, friends who want a stylish base with a pool and restaurants on the doorstep, and anyone willing to pay for a view. Children of all ages are welcome according to the hotel, with cots on request, but check the current age policy when you book, because some sources describe it as adults only.
Season and good to know
This is a summer hotel. It is generally open from about May to October, so do not expect it to take bookings in winter or early spring, and confirm exact opening dates before you plan a shoulder-season trip. Check-in is from 14:00 and check-out is by 11:00. A morning buffet breakfast is served daily, and the hotel can supply early breakfast boxes for early boats. A city tax is charged per night, higher in summer than in winter.
