Excellent

✓ Location . The rooms

✗ Nothing

amazing

✓ It was amazing, the workers were so friendly and accommodating, they arrange driving transportation to and from the airport AND the port for when we wanted to take the ferry to Paros. Free water is given at reception, breakfast is included, wifi speed was tremendous. The sunset spot was amazing!!!! I know everyone goes to Oia for sunset, but if you want something more private and intimate, Caldera is 100% the place to be. It was stunning, emotional, and truly breath taking. The only downside is that it is not in the city centre of Santorini (not a problem) , the bus stop is right outside the hotel and the bus comes every half hour and takes you to Fira for less than 2 euros. AMAZING stay and staff!!

Good value resort with lovely big unheated pool

✓ Pool was brilliant. Not heated but you could swim comfortably after a length of pool the body adjusted and it didn't feel cold. Room nice and clean. Comfortable bed and pillows Breakfast included in price was lovely. Lots of choice from cooked bacon and eggs, cold meals cereals, fruit and yogurt. Only one free bottle of water per stay.

✗ Not Hotels fault but road up to nearby Supermarket/Restaurants does not have a pavement to walk along so at times a bit hazardous due to lots of coaches/buses/lorries when walking along the road. You could not buy bigger bottle of water when you needed more, only small ones. Their sunset restaurant across the road had no atmosphere and was expensive so Walked up or down the road to other ones also expensive but nicer. No pack up breakfast available the night before as we were leaving at 6am for Ferry so missed breakfast on last day.

Nice resort, but must have a car to get around

✓ Nice place to stay IF you have a car! Helpful staff, good breakfast, lovely pool and beautiful view indeed. Also the restaurant belonging to the resort, just opposite the road has great food and beautiful sunset view. Worth going there.

✗ Location was a big issue, as we didn't have a car. As the resort is in between 2 villages by the main busy road, it's only worth staying here IF you have a car or moped! There is a bus stop right in front of the hotel, but the bus service on the island is Really bad and unpredictable! We waited over an hour on our first day.. Also there is no pavement at all by the road or lights, so you can't go out in the evening for a walk or to shops to the nearby village. Especially as most people drive like mad men, it is really dangerous. Otherwise we liked the resort. The only small issues with the facilites were the shower - which really needs a refurb, and the Wifi which was quite poor.

basically just an extremely unfriendly, unhelpful receptionist and likely toxic workplace that tainted our time in Santo

✓ Pool was great and a nice view from there

✗ We messaged the property (publicly, you can probably see the comment below unless they somehow delete it) to advise them that our boat arrives at about 5am and asking for an early check in - which they said they would try. We got there a little before check in opened. when check in open the staff ignored us, when I went to talk to them they were sitting on our phone. we asked if there might be a room ready early - they said no without offering to help of what to do that morning or sights to see. We had planned to relax by the pool that morning until check in started - the hotel does a breakfast. We asked about our room number so we could have breakfast at the hotel and the receptionist said “it is your first day , we will not give you FREE breakfast, it is like this in every hotel all over the world” and began shouting at us. He did not mention that there was a bar across the street, or a bakery down the road until I asked what our other options were and offered to pay for the breakfast upfront - eventually when he had calmed down he provided us with this information.

Pleasant

✓ Staff where very friendly and helpful

✗ the rooms where small and the shower did not have good water pressure

Ideal place for relaxing

✓ Quiet, not flood with people, large, big pool, ocean view, great place to relax. They have their cars so we can book for early flight.

✗ A bit far from cemtrum and Oia, but bus is right at the gate. The water is still a bit salty but not that big deal. Not so many electric hole on the wall
