We enjoyed our stay at Canaves Oia Epitome. The location is excellent - close to Oia, but down the hill, so it feels private. The staff was aware that it was our 25th anniversary, so they placed rose petals, chocolates, and wine in our room upon arrival. While this detail was wonderful, the resort did feel a little too big and it was a bit impersonal. We had made a dinner reservation with guest services in advance to celebrate, and they had no idea. The breakfast was nice. The private pools are great. We didn't have the best view (blocked by a long stone wall), but we could certainly relax and enjoy the sunset. They even turned up the pool temperature for us. We did have an issue a time or two (in the beginning) with the shuttle. We were told a shuttle would be there to pick us up in 5 minutes and 20 minutes later, we opted to walk back to the resort. Overall, that was a nice amenity, though.

If I could give more than 5-stars, I would. The service here is top-notch and really elevated the overall experience. The 24-hour complimentary shuttle service, being able to chat with staff via text at any time, the recommendations they offered for restaurants and nearby activities, the food, the ability to request our private pool be warmed, the gym, etc. Also, our room itself was beautiful. We stayed in the Hideaway Pool Suite and it felt like it was just my husband and I tucked away on our own little cliff-side room in Santorini with the most romantic sunset views. It was perfect.
