...we didnt stay there long enough, which I said to Despina when we checked out, so she made us promise to come back again one day :-)
Rather than repeating ALL the details in all the reviews here, I just want to endorse this hotel as being just one of the best ever hotels I have stayed in. And that is with us staying in one of the smaller, cheaper rooms they have (thats all thats was available) and that was easily good enough, big bedroom, great shower with hot water available AT ALL TIMES (often a rarity in Greece) seperate lounge area with limited kitchen equipment (OK for boiling up water, coffee maker etc, you wouldnt cook a meal here :-).
So if they don't have the exact room you want, just book whatever they do have anyway, how long will you spend in your room and how long outside looking at the view?
Despina and her staff really did go the extra *extra* mile, it can't be stressed enough how friendly and helpful everyone was, and I can honestly say I have only experienced hospitality like this at one other hotel in the world (and thats in St Lucia not Greece)
The views...the views are to die for, you really couldn't tire of them, and you could see the sun set over Oia without having to get packed in with the crowds there.
A few other random points to mention ;
1) yep, the pool is COLD :-) but hey after a couple of minutes you didnt notice, and I guess in July/Aug/Sep it would be warmer
2) This is an adults/quieter couples resort
3) It is a 45 min walk to Fira, and 2+ hours to Oia (didnt have time for that one,will do it next time), plus 20 or so min to Imerovigli, did that a few times, really nice being away from the crowds and the views from the walks are, well, just fantastic
4) There are a *few* restaurants locally including a really cheap one suitable for lunch 1 minutes walk up the road (no caldera view though) plus one 10 minutes away that will come and pick you up and take you back again, we used that once, very good.
5) The bus to Fira (5 min) and Oia (20 min) leave from almost right outside, beats having to drive in to those places
6) the jacuzzi/hot tub you book which means you get it to yourselves, with a view right out over the caldera to Oia...one time when the word 'awesome' is not overused but doesnt come close. I think you can only use it a limited number of times on your stay, not sure how that is worked out.
7) Did I mention the views were to die for?
Why *shouldnt* you stay here? Don't stay here if you plan to be out clubbing until the early hours, have noisy children (or children full stop, possibly, check when booking,) or ....hmm, cant think of any other reason. ..oh yes I can, you might get the last room when I was planning to stay again!
