Really disappointed. Booked based on reviews but by the time we got there standards had dropped. They recognised it was poor but their way of dealing with it is to ask you to sign a disclaimer and they'll knock off some of your room account. Which is handy because they are so disorganised we had someone else's meals and seafood added to ours!
We arranged lots prior to our visit direct with the owner. It was offered not requested so we agreed it only to get out there and find they'd done nothing to organise any of it. Great special birthday ruined. The apologies didn't come.
They managed to muck everything up. No sunset dinner, no cake, no breakfast on terrace, no champagne. In that case could we have a taxi....that didn't turn up either.
Poor location to get to. Nice views but the approach to it is awful. Long walk to the village. It's not 150 metres. It's 20 minutes in the heat uphill. Which we had to do as we had no taxi turn up. No apology just ok we won't use them again.
Pool bar is no existent. We were told by a member of staff when asked. I'm a server not a barman. Yes we know that as we just saw you tasting that man's drink before serving it. Yuck.
The restaurant menu is very limited. Breakfast is repetitive and the cats are not chased off by staff. Saw one cat eat a lizard every morning then climb all over the tables and eat leftovers.
Our visit to the spa was also rubbish. Nothing worked as it's solar. So a cloudy day when you might consider using it...dont. the hot tub which was more a luke warm chemical dip was nothing short of unpleasant.
The maid service was hit and miss. Some days we were left with dirty plates, sometimes glasses. Sometimes no dressing gowns. No cork screw, no matches for all the romantic candles. Everytime we went to reception after 8pm it was closed so we just got fed up with asking. No milk for tea or coffee either.
There are lots of places in Santorini and I would urge you to try elsewhere. I left my holiday feeling very hurt and upset by this hotel. I'm well travelled and yes it's not always perfect but this place promised so much and delivered little.
