Recommend hiring a car if staying here, makes life much easier! The staff were wonderful and incredibly accommodating. The rooms were very clean and modern. The breakfast is great and large portions! Definitely will be staying here again when we return to Santorini in future. "

Akrotiri Cove
Akrotiri Cove"Abbiamo scelto questa struttura perchรฉ cercavamo un posto tranquillo con una bella vista, ma con la giusta privacy. Questo posto ha soddisfatto le nostre richieste perchรฉ la vista รจ fenomenale che ti puoi godere dalla jacuzzi e hai poche case attorno, non come quelle famose di oia o fira dove hai la gente che ti entra in camera o ti passa davanti mentre sei in piscina. Infine qui funziona cosรฌ: per la colazione ti fanno una grande spesa con veramente tante cose di vario tipo e poi tu scegli cosa...

Top Akrotiri Hotel Reviews
Santorini Palace
"The place was absolutely stunning, indeed felt like being in castle. It was close by to the main city center but those with mobility issues should be warned that it is very hilly. The whole staff went above and beyond, helped us switch rooms for a better view and was very helpful and kind. An example is the bellhop, Lucian. The pool was great, very clean with a great view. Additionally, there were a multitude of options to choose from at breakfast, with a great open seating space."
White Pearl Villas
"Our stay at White Pearl was genuinely astounding! Every single thing at this beautiful property was in its perfect place & tended to by friendly, helpful & all around top-notch staff. They seemed just as invested in our visit to Santorini as we were, especially the 3 front desk staff we had many enjoyable & helpful interactions. We were married at another location but stayed here, and setup in the Secret Suite, which the honeymoon suite. It has 4 different levels when counting the outdoor porches with stunning views, including its own private pool which overlooks the calderaโhere you can also see Fira, Imerovigli & Oia, which these excellent accommodations are within quick walking distance of the latter. All manner of things youโd want to access begin directly adjacent to the property. There is a coffee shop just across the street from the front desk, right alongside that are a number of markets, restaurants, shops of all kinds, and all of this is along a walkway with an impeccable view of the caldera & Aegean Sea. Be prepared to walk up & down many stairs throughout the area, though the walkway which goes all the way to the scenic viewpoint at the end of Oia is largely ramps. That in mind, there were many stairs to reach our room at the villas as well, but the villas had a great baggage carrier to make this easy. We could not be happier with our stay at White Pearl, and recommend to anyone who seeks a luxurious & wonderful trip, as ours was an immaculate experience!"
Grand Ambassador Santorini Hotel
"Suite avec piscine vraiment grande, trรจs belle vue, lโaccรจs pour se rendre ร la chambre vraiment unique."
Cresanto Luxury Suites
"Beautiful room with a great view!"
Caldera Premium Villas - Adults Only
"Spectacular setting with very friendly staff. This hotel has bags of character and is good value for money. Perfect location for the popular tourist spots means you can slip out at quieter times to enjoy those and relax and take in the scenery in the hotel or explore further afield in the mean time. The rooms and pool are quite small and the level of luxury may not match some of the more expensive choices, but for a few days stay, it is perfect. The cobbles in the village and pathways down to the bay are polished. Lots of people struggle along in flip flops and flat sandals. Better to wear smart trainers, although the dress โcodeโ is glamorous."
Maison Des Lys
"Canโt recommend this hotel enough! My boyfriend and I booked in for 9 nights and had the most amazing stay. Staff are extremely friendly and helpful (especially the restaurant and bar staff & the cleaner!!) They made our stay really special so thankyou! Beautiful view over the sea and island, clean towels every day, lovely pool are and fresh breakfast every morning. Location is quiet but was exactly what we wanted. Thereโs a lovely restaurant over the road and a little coffee place a minute walk away. Very easy to book taxis through the front desk if you want to go anywhere. Hope to come back some day as we had an incredible stay! Thankyou to all the staff."
NOลชS Santorini
"Pros - staff were great, so friendly & helpful, pool is amazing - we had a pool in our room which was great and perfect temp. Room size is really generous & spacious for the Eurphoria suite. Gym is one of the best hotel gyms . Spa is beautiful & really enjoyable experience, the messages are great. Water all round hotel, fruit at breakfast, toiletries quality of body wash/ shampoo etc was excellent. coffee machine in room with a big fridge, Towels were always stocked. They have an app which is great and staff super responsive on WhatsApp, pool food was good too! Cons - a few areas where the hotel let itself down and to be a true 5 star I think it needs to be better at certain areas, firstly, there should be speakers in the room, although room was big it was lacking , the hotel did also not replace the vanity kits which was very frustrating, I believe there should be a free shuttle into Fira, instead taxis are really expensive and the hotel use a 3rd party company that charge more than local taxis. The coffee at breakfast was terrible, there was only a limited choice of different eggs. For a 5 star hotel it should not be machine coffee and should cater for omelettes, fried , poached etc. there was constant rubbish left around the bins not collected which is not pleasant. Parts of the hotel were โclosed for renovationโ - restaurant/ vitamin bar/gift shop. This felt like a cover up for not opening due to quieter times which is quite misleading & we observed no construction"
Ira Hotel & Spa - Adults Only
"The views from this hotel are amazing! The breakfast was so good. Wish the pool was bigger but no complaints on anything else."
Vogue Suites
"My daughter's and I loved our stay at Vogue Suites during our recent trip to Santorini. Our traditional cycladic cave suite gave us that old world feel with all the modern conveniences. Our suite was spacious & clean, beds were comfortable, location was convenient to shops & restaurants. Be prepared for lots of steps! Thankfully, 2 porters were there when we arrived to carry all our luggage. These young men were so helpful & friendly. They led us to reception and then to our room. At reception, Diana greeted us & made sure we had everything we needed. She arranged all the details for a boat excursion for us & was available to answer any questions. The views from our private patio were spectacular & the famous blue domes are just minutes away. I hope to return to Vogue Suites again some day & highly recommend it to anyone lucky enough to be planning a trip to Santorini."
