"We really enjoyed our stay, it was perfect for what we wanted out of our Santorini trip. The outside of the front of the hotel gave us our own private sunset viewpoint it was perfect, I would highly recommend staying here. There were lots of amenities (shampoo, conditioner, body wash, toothbrush + toothpaste, coffee machine and pods, etc.). The staff we interacted with were very nice and had helpful suggestions for us."

"The property is on the south-west cliff side of Oia which means you can see the sunset absolutely perfectly and with no obstructions. Other than that, the staff were extremely nice and helpful, and can also provide amazing recommendations for day/evening activities, such as boat cruises, wine tours, etc. Could not have asked for a better experience in Santorini."

"This is a one of a kind experience!! Trust me from someone who goes on 20 to 25 vacations a year around the world and has stayed at some insane properties this is definitely a must. The staff is just incredible and I usually skip the free breakfast at my hotels but this is so fresh and tasty I seriously have nothing bad to say if u want a very quiet secluded vacation."

"The place was wonderful with incredible views, the service was great and Georgia was extremely helpful. Being in Santorini there are just over 100 stairs to go down to get to the hotel, but it’s manageable to walk up and down the stairs, and definitely worth it."

DIAMOND on the cliff Hotel &Suites

10/10 Excellent
"This property was in the perfect spot with amazing views of Skaros rock. Many restaurants nearby and only about a 15 minute walk to Fira. Staff was very friendly and helpful. Only slight negative is that parts of the room are very low so if you’re taller then 6 feet you may find yourself hitting your head off a doorway but that’s not the fault of the owners. Amazing stay would recommend!"

10/10 Excellent
"Lovely place to stay. Staff are very nice, easy to approach and always ready to help with all your needs. Oia cliff breath taking views is literally 30 feet away, without cliff view pricing compared to other hotels. Break fast is also really good and was included in our stay, with Greek breakfast, a tomato base and feta cheese combo, and hearty breakfast, an omelette with really fresh eggs that is very savory, as our favorites. The bus also passes on the main road which is directly in front of the hotel, so public transportation is a breeze. Overall this hotel and its staff is really A+. Almost forgot pool was really nice as well. Great job White Pearl Loakasti Team!"
