The real Santorini

Review of Smaragdi
5.0 of 5 bubblesReviewed Sep 26, 2018via mobile
We stayed at this wonderful place to wind down from a hectic traveling schedule. Perfect sums up our experience there.

Never in all my years of travel have I gotten a more hospitable welcome from staff. They even did a small orientation with us on the first day. Explaining the lay of the land, modes of transport around the island, and all the things they could assist with - which was everything!
They assisted making reservations, booking tours and calling taxi’s for us (even if pick up was not at the hotel).

This gem is away from the touristy & commercialized main towns at the black beach.
You don’t stay directly on the beach, but in a very small walk down the road to the ocean.
The hotel is set up like small villas/chalets on the property rather than generic hotel blocks.
We stayed in in a standard room, which is more than enough space for 2 people.
Rooms were spacious and very clean.

Hotel offered free transfer who waited for us after a delayed arrival. All hotel staff, especially the hostess, were very friendly and welcoming!!
Facilities all very good - quiet area, clean pool, spacious room with balcony which overlooked the pool - free towels etc. The only downside would be the pipes in the bathroom smelt quite bad.
Would recommend renting a car as the taxis to main areas (Fira, Oia) are expensive and we saw so many beautiful places, including many sunsets on the road driving up the caldera.

We have chosen this lovely hotel for us and the guests for our wedding in Santorini. First of all we cannot thank all the staff enough for being so helpful and so patient with all our requirements. They helped us a lot with so many things like booking transfer cars, finding the best florists etc. The breakfast has lots of choices and everything was fresh for a reasonable price. The terrace,the pool and the bar is great. Everyone is very welcoming and friendly and did their best for us to have an amazing time. We will come back here for sure without doubts.

We spent 3 days of our vacation at Smaragdi Hotel in Perissa. It was high season and prices very high. Rooms and cleaning were ok but they forgot to supply essentials every single day.
Breakfast was too basic and the three days exactly the same food and fruits, they could make variations water melon is a fruit not everyone can have, coffee was weak, not half and half only milk. Breakfast charge was 10 euros or 8 if you book in advance. For that money we had better option in other hotels.
We’ve been the week before in Athens in another hotel and everything was superior and we paid less.

Stayed here for a week and didn’t want to leave when the time came!! We wished we had booked for 2 weeks. When we arrived at the airport we were met by the hotels driver who was very informative and he pointed out places of interest on the way back to the hotel. There are 2 restaurants on the beach front that offer a 5% discount for staying at Smaragdi, we didn’t eat at either of them as there were so many lovely tavernas/restaurants along the beach front. Had very lovely food out all week. You can choose to turn left or right at the beach and you won’t be disappointed where you dine.

The room was basic but spotlessly clean. Had a fridge, safe and air con in the room all at no extra cost. Room was cleaned every day an clean towels provided every day too. Fab shower which was great after a hot day lounging by the pool!

Staff all very friendly and definitely worth going to the welcome meeting, very informative.

We hired a car for a few days through Easy car rental and also booked a romantic sunset cruise (with dinner on board and nearby pick up and drop off) through them too. Excellent value for money for both and thoroughly enjoyed the sunset cruise.

We drove up to Oia and wow what a lovely place, bright white buildings and fantastic places to shop and eat. The views were stunning.

All in all a very relaxing enjoyable stay and would definitely recommend Smaragdi
