Stayed at this hotel for a week in July and would definitely return if visiting Santorini again. The location is great as it’s a 10 minute walk (flat) into Fira central, which we enjoyed being close but far enough away from the crowds. The hotel is spotless and the staff work super hard all day everyday. The reception staff were always pleasant when passing through and even gave us a wave off when our coach departed! We had a late flight but it was no trouble getting a room to shower before we left. The choice at breakfast was very good (even for me who is fussy!) and the staff were happy to accommodate if you requested things which weren’t out on the buffet. Food and drinks from the pool bar were not cheap but were all freshly made and of a high standard so we didn’t mind paying the prices. I can recommend the Pina colada :) Bar staff were always accommodating, even gave us a bucket of ice to take to our room so we could enjoy a drink on a balcony before heading out. Nikos the lifeguard is just the best, he was so friendly and chatty and was always on hand to assist with towels, umbrellas etc. We also some him engaging with some children at the pool which was nice to see. Top guy 👍 Pool area is relaxing and the sun loungers are super comfy, never had an issue getting one and we liked that beds could not be reserved! Rooftop bar for the amazing sunset was also a hit, we went up there every evening as it was so chilled and great for photos. We also used the hotel gym a few times which was small but adequate for the size of the hotel and for what we needed. We were in room 116 which was very quiet, room was spacious and the cleaner visited daily. The only problem we had was each time we showered the water came up through the plug hole on the floor which then left a puddle in the bathroom, so not ideal when we needed to use the toilet. We did report this at reception on day 2 and they sent the maintenance guy within the hour to investigate. Unfortunately the issue did not get resolved so we had to keep putting towels on the floor to soak up the water. It wasn’t pleasant but given all the other positives I would still rate our stay 5/5.

“Great place to stay for families”

The hotel made a great first impression with welcoming staff and a neat and tidy environment. It featured a great pool and gaming facilities for kids. The restaurant was affordable, and the breakfast was excellent. While it's a short walk to Fira central, the location is convenient. I didn't rent a car and am unsure about parking availability. The hotel wasn't very busy, which I appreciated. However, the sunbeds can get crowded if you arrive late. The hotel has ample natural space and a small park, though it lacks a slide. The sauna was not working when I tried it, but my partner enjoyed a beauty treatment. There are some downside if you want to be in the central then it’s a 10 min walk. The staff there work long hours and always seem ready to help. I would definitely return if given the chance.

“Outstanding Hotel, stunning views, perfect location and faultless service from staff, would go back tomorrow.”

Just back from a weeks family holiday and are used to 5* hotels and I cannot fault this hotel, location, room, food, layout and especially the staff.

Just back from a weeks family holiday and are used to 5* hotels and I cannot fault this hotel, location, room, food, layout and especially the staff. Location is perfect as a 10 minute ‘flat’ walk into Fira, but it means you get peace and quiet during the day away from the hustle and bustle of Fira but close enough to pop in and out if you wish to. It is also a short walk to the bus station if you want to explore. Pools are perfect with kids, and position means you get some winds which help with the heat. Pool bar and service was spot on and great selection of food and drink. Club sandwich was delicious. There is a games room which gave our two children a rest from the sun with a free pool table, air hockey and table football. Rooms were spacious with stunning views whether they are over the Caldera or the other side of the island - the maisonette was perfect for a family of 4. Great selection for breakfast including gluten free options, nothing was too much trouble for staff. The lifeguard is brilliant, super friendly and helpful getting your towels, helping with your umbrella, and brought out a small number of tasteful inflatables, used mostly by the adults. Pool was never too busy as people explore the island and never too many kids about so very relaxing during the day. There are plenty of photo opportunities in the hotel as it has such a stunning layout where you can even see Fira and there is the balcony to watch the sunset with a glass of champagne. Check in and out was seamless and reception staff went out of their way to help. Bus trip to Oia and Kamira in the evenings were straightforward but last busses back were busy. We ended up getting a taxi back from Oia (40€) as didn’t want to queue. Caldera sunset cruise is worth every penny, where you see the volcano (tough walk and you need trainers) but rewarded with a swim in the hot springs and evening grill. Pick up directly from our hotel. Would happily return tomorrow. The hotel Manageress was there when we left to say goodbye and wish us a safe trip home which was a lovely touch. Not the first time we saw her do this.
