"My husband and I came here to Santorini for our Honeymoon. We stayed at epic view suites and very much so enjoyed everything about this property and location! It was very convenient not being too close to chaos but close enough to restaurants, coffee shops, gift shops, and a very close beach in case you prefer beach scenery over the pool. The view was beautiful, cleaning staff was very nice- and helpful- I have nothing to complain about. If we came back, we would stay here again! I highly recommend this property!"

"We spent two amazing weeks in Santorini. Based in Akrotiri we rented a Vespa for 10 days and managed to see most of the island. The bus stop to the beach and Fira is right outside the hotel. The pool was generally quiet and we had it to ourselves some of the time. The room was spotless and clean linen was supplied almost daily. The only thing we found a little tedious was the breakfast. It is a cold continental breakfast but we were given warm scrambled eggs and cheese and ham toasties daily. All in all we loved our stay and would recommend it as a reasonable priced hotel on a very expensive island. The family of cats made it for us. All very well cared for and friendly. We would definitely return if we ever choose to return."
