We stayed here for one week in June and we looked at photos and reviews so were really looking forward to our stay. Rooms are not like photos shown on easyjet website so jacuzzi pool in our room we found out only a few rooms have these and get charged more. Room was clean and spacious bathroom very dark. Beds were very comfortable as were the pillows. Pool was just lovely very peaceful and we had no issue getting a sunbed which is always a big bonus. Small friendly hotel owner Kiki was very welcoming and would help in anyway she could. Small walk into town for restaurants and supermarket about 7mins away as was the beach. The owner did other trips but we booked ours with easyjet we found out later that the prices being charged by owner were dearer so we made the right choice. There are two bad bits about hotel and for this reason would not return one was the breakfast it was appalling I've never in my life had such a small amount to choose from and was the same every day toast ham cheese some melon some yoghurt and pancakes hard boiled eggs and a couple of cereal choices nothing else!! No warm breakfast at all!! They did have a lunchtime and evening meals and drinks you could buy around the pool but prices charged were so much dearer than in town. A beer in town 2 euro they wanted 6 euro a beer from a can!! We had one meal on our first night there as were tired came to over 50 euro which had been cooked in the microwave and small portion too. After this and most people seemed to head into town for there lunch and dinner my advice to owners are drop your prices and people would probably eat around the pool at lunchtime they all left because you charged 3 times the price in town!! We done a couple of trip and santorini is dearer for these than other islands but we knew this so were happy with the two we booked. There are a couple of bars a short walk away dorians was amazing and the prices were so good spent many an evening there. Beach is nice and sunbeds were very reasonable most were free if you bought food and drinks from bar who owned them. Loved santorini done and saw everything we wanted to do. My advice to owner lower your prices for food and drink and people would eat and drink there more rather than leave and walk into town.
We had a really nice stay here. We were lucky enough to get a room upgrade at no extra cost, which was a lovely surprise. The hotel is in a great location and offers really good value for money. Our room was cleaned every day, with fresh, clean towels provided daily. Everything was well taken care of, and overall we had a great experience. We would happily stay here again!
the location is beautiful, the place is clean, very friendly staff, especially Kiki as we got served with a smile at the bar and the food was made all fresh and on the spot, we loved every single bit about the place and the service took it to another level, we are very happy. also the rooms and facilities are clean and tidy at all times. the atmosphere is nice and quiet, very nice place to relax.
The most beautiful resort with the most wonderful kind staff. The food is absolutely incredible freshly made and the staff are so helpful. Kiki is the kindest lady and looks after you! Would absolutely come here again such an amazing time.
I genuinely don’t know how this hotel has managed to achieve a 4-star rating, unless the stars were awarded for the number of CCTV cameras around the complex. There were so many cameras that by the end of the stay I expected David Attenborough to appear from behind a bush and start narrating my holiday.
Let’s start with the room. Calling it “dirty” would be generous. It had ants including ants in the bed. Nothing quite says “luxury hotel experience” like getting into bed and discovering you’ve apparently booked an stay for an entire colony.
The room layout was another masterpiece. Getting ready felt like participating in an obstacle course designed by someone who had never actually used a hotel room. It wasn't practical, user-friendly or particularly well thought out. There was also a distinct lack of basic room amenities, which left the room feeling more like a minimally furnished storage unit than a 4-star hotel room.
And then there was the shower. The water was so salty that after showering I felt like I should have been served with chips and vinegar. I'm not entirely sure whether I was washing myself or seasoning myself.
The hotel itself seemed to close down after 6pm. Three staff members appeared to be responsible for practically everything, and after early evening the place had all the atmosphere of a business waiting for the lights to be switched off permanently.
Speaking of atmosphere, the pool area was unbelievably quiet. “Peaceful” would be a generous description. It felt more like attending a funeral where nobody had told you who had died. You could practically hear people thinking.
Then came the pool rules. I’m still unsure whether these were genuine hotel rules or a joke. There seemed to be a rule for everything. At one point I half expected a lifeguard to produce a clipboard and ask me to submit a formal request before entering the water.
The food and drink prices were another issue. “Expensive” doesn't really cover it. The prices were criminal. I’ve seen less aggressive pricing in airport lounges. At those prices, I expected the waiter to arrive with the food, a financial adviser and a small equity stake in the hotel. (4 euro for 330ml can)
There were also some serious concerns during check-in. A photo was taken of our passports on a staff member's phone, and personal details were subsequently written/shared on an A4 sheet of paper. Whatever the hotel's intended process was, it certainly didn't inspire confidence from a data-protection or privacy perspective. That experience felt particularly uncomfortable and should be reviewed by hotel management.
And finally, the staffing. Three staff members seemed to be covering a property that was operating as though it had a much larger team. To be fair, the staff we encountered weren't the problem the issue appeared to be the overall operation and management of the hotel.
To be completely clear, this is not a 4-star hotel in our experience. At best, I'd put it at a low 3-star, and even then there would be plenty of room for improvement.
Seriously consider spending money here if it's £450+.
