Top Akrotiri Hotel Reviews
Athina Luxury Suites
"Staff was very friendly. Food both breakfast were wonderful. Lots of stairs to the room we stayed in, but well worth it for views and quaint setting."
Caldera Premium Villas - Adults Only
"Great location, breakfast, rooms, view and staff"
Volcano View Hotel Santorini
"The views are amazing! Don't miss the sunset. The staff is wonderful."
NOลชS Santorini
"The hotel was very nice, and the room was very beautiful with a heated pool. All staff were lovely and helpful. However, the room wasnโt cleaned by house keeping, it was more of a tidy up. Which is nothing against the staff as I assume this is what theyโre told to do. For a 5 star hotel at this price point, I would expect this. The breakfast was nice; but would like more variety. The same for lunch and dinner menu, it was nice but expensive for what it was. Especially with the surrounding area having limited options for food."
Delion View Hotel
"Le staff trรจs sympathique. LE cafรฉ et jus ร lโarrivรฉe. Trรจs bien situรฉ. Beau coucher de soleil"
Serenitร Luxury Suites
"I had a wonderful stay in Santorini and would highly recommend this accommodation! The room was huge, spotlessly clean and very comfortable. The hot tub on the balcony was an amazing bonus, especially with the stunning views โ such a perfect way to relax and enjoy the beautiful surroundings. I also appreciated the complimentary two coffees per day. The staff were exceptionally friendly, helpful and welcoming, and communication throughout our stay was excellent. They really made me feel comfortable and well looked after. A fantastic place to stay in Santorini, and I would happily return. Highly recommended!"
Skyfall Suites - Adults Only
"One of the best places weโve ever stayed. Would go back in a heart beat! The private pool was amazing. The food and the dining terrace were wonderful. The village was traditional and a joy to wander through. Best location on the island in our opinion."
White Pearl Villas
"This was the most amazing trip. Nadia and staff were incredible and exceeded expectations. To have an amazing staff to go along with this phenomenal scenery at the White Pearls was more than we could ever ask for."

"Everything about Absolute Bliss was great, professional, knowledgeable, accommodating and caring staff that went above and beyond in service. Great location, we walked everywhere.
