Excellent from start to finish. The staff couldn’t be more helpful and fulfilled my requests totally for when we arrived until we left. Wouldn’t hesitate to return to Avaton again.

Amazing staff who were there for our every need. Amazing location as well with a beautiful view of the caldera and Oia, easy access to the hike from Thera to Oia and middle location for easy access around the whole island while being away from the crowds.

Perfection! Private, classy, exceptional staff and location; I could go on and on. This hotel is located in the perfect spot for the best sunset view in santorini; highest point on the caldera but only 15/20 min walk down to the bars and clubs. We took a taxi home each night for 15 Euros. Thank you Bessy and all the staff who made our vacation one to remember.

The Avaton is Fantastic!
The Avaton was fantastic. It is kind of at the end of the “tourist” areas before you get to Oia which makes it nice and quiet compared to Fira or Firostefani. The honeymoon suite, room 1, had the best views out of all the rooms. The pool deck is shared but incredibly beautiful. We did not find better views throughout our travels in Santorini. Bessy and Zoe at the front desk are so helpful and are constantly checking on you to ensure you are attended to. They provide wonderful recommendations and will book you whatever you need. If you follow their advice, you will have a great time in Santorini. We absolutely loved the Avaton and would be back in an instant!

Best hotel in Santorini with pool sunset view
We were picked up at the airport and taken care of until we reached the beautiful hotel on the edge of the famous Santorini caldera. The view is just breathtaking. All hotel staff were extremely friendly and helpful. Rarely have we been able to enjoy such hospitality anywhere else. It's really an outstanding service provided by the Avaton Resort staff. We had a room on the upper floor called "deluxe room" (totally worth the premium!). It is equipped with a private balcony which is overlooking the pool and the caldera. Every morning a friendly staff member brought us the complimentary breakfast to our balcony, which we ordered the evening before. Having breakfast in such an intimate atmosphere is a fantastic way to start the day. The hotel convinced us in all aspects: infinity pool (wow!), restaurant (delicious & fast!), cleanliness & equipment of the room (perfect!). The best thing was the staff, who really cared for the guests with an above-and-beyond service mentality. Thank you very much for this unforgettable experience despite the COVID-19 situation, you guys are incredible!

Perfect quiet boutique resort w/ a great view!
The Avaton Resort was perfect for our three night stay in Santorini. From the moment we checked in until check-out, the service was impeccable. We had dinner the first night we checked in, and it was as if we had our own private little restaurant. The room was very spacious, the bed was comfortable, shower pleasant and the view walking out your door to the pool overlooking the caldera was breathtaking. You have your own personal spot to watch the sunset each night! We thoroughly enjoyed the personalized breakfast delivered to our patio each morning, so we could dine overlooking the water. I discovered my new love for espresso fredo. Imerovigli is certainly more on the quiet side - so if you are looking to be more in the mix of things, then I'd say you're better off in Fira or Oia. There are plenty of restaurants nearby that are some of the best on the island. We took a catamaran cruise one day and a wine tour the next, and the pickup spot was a 5 minute walk away and very convenient. Transportation is hard to come by on the island, but the resort is more than glad to make arrangements for car service. We did walk back from Fira one night, which took about 35 minutes. There is a walkway right behind the resort that leads to Fira and Oia in respective directions. We could not have asked for a better stay.

Honeymoon!
Amazing experience. The view is fantastic, much more luxurious than anything in Fira. About a 40 min walk to Fira and 2 1/2 hour hike to Oia. Bring running shoes! You can also take bus or taxi. The staff at Avaton made the resort. Everyone is there to make sure your stay is perfect. Breakfast is delicious served right on your patio. The spa is also very nice. Would definitely stay here again. 5 Stars all around.

Amazing hotel. Its super clean. Cleaning service twice a day. Breakfast is amazing and in the room, always on time. The guy who brings the breafast was just the best!! The people is awesome and the view better than perfect! The staff was very helpful. They booked us the best tables in all restaurants. Everything was really perfect. The only bad thing was the restaurant. In-room service super expansive and not worth it. We hate one night at the hotel, and maybe our expectations were very high because of the overall experience of the hotel but... this was really an overall 6 out 10 for the dinner (food, ambiance and staff)z

Perfect Place To Enjoy Serenity
Avaton Resoert and Spa is the perfect place in Santorini to enjoy calmness, peace, relaxation, and the perfect spot to view the sunset. Our balcony is in the line of site to the sunset. You don't have to go to Oia to view it perfectly. Avaton being located in Imerovigli, is in the middle of Oia and Fira and this makes it a perfect place to enjoy everything which includes hiking to Skaros Rock, walk to Fira, and hike to Oia. The whole staff is really great and they really treated us very special. I can say that this is the best hotel we've ever stayed so far in our years of traveling. I can also attest that all the many positive reviews in here are true. Thanks Avaton for making our vacation one of the best.

Honeymoon treat
We had a wonderful time at Avaton resort and spa. The staff went out of their way to make us feel incredibly welcome and were also very friendly. The rooms were modern but still had that Santorini feel. We ordered room service a couple of times and the smoked salmon sandwich (bagel) is to die for. We loved the location, we felt like we were the only hotel on the island. Definitely recommend to anyone who wants a romantic stay in a beautiful place.

Amazing!!
This place is amazing. The view is just like it looks in the pictures. The staff is great, and friendly! The breakfast is amazing and personalized every morning for their guests. They bring it to your room! It's in walking distance (40 min) from the capital and a little town. The only thing I would have changed differently is that there is no privacy in the bathroom and shower. The toilet only has a glass door, and it is separate from the shower that was the only con. The food at the restaurant is good and the pool area is amazing both inside and out. We would definitely go back!

Awesome views, star treatment
Better than we thought it would be, although it was very difficult to find...we parked far away down the hill and had to carry all of our luggage. That was not fault of the hotel though. Daily breakfast is awesome, although there was a mix-up on our last day so our breakfast was late. The hosts/concierges were helpful and attentive. Wonderful views from the resort, and fun walks to the different parts of the island. An outdoor jacuzzi/spa would make the place even better though. Regardless, we plan on returning for another visit in a couple of years.

The Perfect Place
Wow, we were blown away by everything here.....the staff, the accommodations, the food, the spa, the location. This is one of the newer hotels in the area so everything was nice, well designed and clean. If you're looking for one on one service it really doesn't get any better than this. Panos and the entire staff are there for your every need. We almost felt like we had personal concierge service. They helped us with transportation arrangements, dinner reservations and every little thing we had a question on. The view from everywhere in the hotel is amazing. It's the perfect sunset spot, at least in July when we were there. The overall experience felt like a second honeymoon for us and it's one of the places that you'll will always want to come back to. Loved it!

Great room, delicious breakfasts, good location and not overlooked by any other hotels unlike some we saw. Easy to walk into Fira (about 40 minutes to the centre) and plenty of good restaurants to choose from in Imerovigli. Bus stop about 5 minutes away. Hotel staff were all brilliant and nothing was too much trouble.

Felt like a FIVE-STAR hotel but more family-like
We went here on the second day of our honeymoon and just fell in love. During the reservation stage, I was already pleased with the service Avaton staff provided. I had found a better price on Expedia that did not show at the time I made my non-refundable reservation. Expedia was so unhelpful but Avaton helped me change the room type even though it was non-refundable. The hotel is located in a relatively private place in that it is located at the end of a strip of several different hotels. Avaton hotel offers spa, dinner inside a cave, and breakfast in suite. It also has a very clean shared infinity pool that looks off into the caldera. We got a few surprises because it was our honeymoon-a room upgrade, flower bouquet, and champagne. The moment we thought this hotel was the best was when we got back from our dinner. Our room was freshly cleaned while we were having dinner, and the bed was made with two pieces of wrapped chocolates on top. Very detail-oriented service, we thought. We would definitely recommend this hotel to couples especially.

Magic by Avaton
The hotel is sensational and the service is second to none. The staff were amazing and attending to every need you could have from food to taxi bookings to scheduling of activities and restaurant reservations. The wifi was great but struggled a little outside the room although no issues inside the room itself. The view from your outside balcony area and pool was awesome that made you want to sit by the pool and gaze out all day. The only issue was that if you're after a bustling and busy area with lots of cafe, shopping and restaurant choices then Imerovigli is not your thing. No discredit to the hotel itself as it was faultless. Just that the location is very quiet so be prepared for this as its not like Oia. The mountain path walk to Fira is amazing for the views itself and whilst it takes 25-30min you don't even notice it because of the amazing sights along the way. Walking to Oia is just as awesome but takes about 2 hours to complete the journey one way. There are 39 taxis on the whole island so being stranded at Imerovigli for lack of transport can be common. The buses come every 20min or so and are surprisingly quite punctual but the bus stop is still about 5 blocks away. There are other means of transport like car hire and 4 wheel buggies and scooters but the former has issues with parking around the main towns and the latter from the sheer number of people who hire these transport modes but don't actually know how to ride them so beware.
