Wonderful experience in this boutique hotel. Personalized services, beautiful vistas from all areas. Breakfast is outstanding with a variety of food. Very romantic place to enjoy. Had a great experience with all the employees including the manager John. A walking distance from the main street in Oia. You will need transportation if you want explore other areas of Santorini and a good walking shoes.!
Santorini was a short stop on our visit to Greece. I wish we had stayed here more nights! Definitely felt like we saved the best for last. Shout out to the hotel manager John for going out of his way to make the hotel a magical experience for guests. His entire staff is wonderful as well! Some highlights: -Amazing guest experience, they really go out of their way to make requests happen -Check-in process and welcome drink -Located a short 3-4 minute walk to the "main" parts of Oia, but far enough that you get peace & quiet -Incredible Caldera views -Clean spacious rooms, many with personal plunge pools -Thoughtful complimentary guest amenities (sandals, hats, masks, slippers, hand sanitizer) -Delicious food, some of the best food we had on the trip (esp at lunch & dinner) One random and very minuscule area for improvement: Although many of the breakfast items were great, some of the items that were supposed to be "sweet" were strangely salty (crepes, pancakes). Egg and yogurt dishes were fantastic! As were the breads. Here were some of the gestures that distinguished the hotel and ensured we will be back: -This hotel is part of the SLH collection which includes some wonderful benefits due to their partnership with Hyatt. Greek tourism is picking up and the hotel had appeared full before we arrived so we weren't expecting anything other than the room we booked. Much to our surprise, we were upgraded to a room with a small plunge pool at check-in. It's SOOO nice when hotels do what they can to improve your experience without being asked to. After too many times of being snubbed at Marriotts where I've "earned" upgrades but don't get them despite plentiful availability, this was a refreshing surprise. -The hotel never pushed us to eat at their restaurant which I think speaks for the confidence they have in their own food. In fact, they gave thoughtful recommendations (that lined up with the places I had found during my own research), in addition to briefly and casually highlighting their own restaurant. At luxury hotels we have stayed at in the past we definitely have felt pressured to eat at the hotel which tends to be very pricey but not always worth the cost. At Canaves the cost of the food can be on the higher side but the quality/taste matches the cost. -The restaurant went out of their way to accommodate my food allergy and didn't bat an eye if we decided to split an entree. -Kind of weird one, but I noticed they used strong vinegar based cleaning supplies some some of the cleaning, and I appreciated the green (but effective) approach. -Our flight out of Santorini was quite late and unfortunately the hotel was fully booked so they weren't able to accommodate late check-out (which we knew was a possibility). However, the hotel arranged for us to be able to use the facilities to freshen up before we left to the airport. It was an incredibly thoughtful gesture after a long day at the pool in the Santorini sun. All in all, we will be back! Definitely to this location, and maybe to check out one of their other 5 properties as well! Santorini is gorgeous and there is way more to do than I anticipated. Can't wait to return.…
Had the best time of our life at Canaves Oia Boutique hotel.. We accidentally arrived at their sister hotel, Canaves Oia Suites. The manager John from the Canaves Boutique personally came to pick us up. They did not even allow us to carry the lightest of our luggage. We are both so touched by the most personalized service we have received. Loved their welcome fruit platter. Effy and her colleagues at the front desk are so amazing! They provided the best vegetarian restaurant recommendations and made reservations for us. All of them made our stay so stress free, we could completely relax. All their staff is amazing! They work in such tandem. Really appreciate the team member who painstakingly cleaned our plunge pool two days in a row that had gotten sand in due to windy weather . Got so spoiled by the tastiest and healthy breakfast each morning. Definitely bringing other family members to this unique gem of a place next time.. hope that the team remains the same. Thank You so much for making our trip so memorable.…
