Hotels Near Caldera Yachting Santorini in Santorini

While listed as a two star hotel, I would more accurately rate it as a five star cave hotel. What a beautiful view, comfortable room, and attentive staff. We spent 5 nights here (on our last as I type). We received an upgrade to a room with a jacuzzi. It was WONDERFUL, and a very pleasant surprise. Costas and Faye, along with the rest of the staff strive to please, and have great recommendations for both dining, and activities. The highlight of our trip was the catamaran cruise. While not inexpensive, worth every penny. Every morning when I walked out on our balcony, we continued to be amazed with the view . Breakfast each day on our balcony was fabulous. So glad my wife chose this hotel after reading previous recommendations. You will be pleased to stay here.

Based on the other reviews, I think your mileage here may vary depending on which room you get. I do see that others who stayed in the same rooms (small, ground level, bedroom without door, only bathroom access through the second bedroom, etc.) also left poor reviews. The lodgings we had were sub par with old and broken furniture, extremely small and uncomfortable beds, external door which barely closed, and the constant overwhelming smell of sewage really made this a less than comfortable spot. There also is no TV if you care about that, but the wifi was excellent. There’s also zero view, which is a shame. Do not be swayed by the promise of a “hot tub.” It is an inflatable affair, and is not super clean. In addition, beware, there is a camera pointing right at it. The breakfast was good, but not a huge selling point for us. We ended up here as we booked rather last minute. Honestly, I really regret that, because considering the lack of comfort, lack of sleep because of the awful beds, the really horrid smell (I still think about that smell when I remember Santorini), and just the overall vibe of the place, it really detracted from the enjoyment of our vacation. In summary: The location is excellent, but the place is more than a little gross. In addition , the price wasn’t great for what we got. The moral of this story is book early, and look harder for better options.

Breakfast is super rich! Great viewing location! Very suitable for viewing the night view. The staff are also very friendly! There are three kittens in the hotel who are very clingy and cute. You can take photos with them!

Summary: This hotel is not suitable for anyone with mobility issues as it is all hills and steps (pretty steep, slippery and lots of them!). We will not be recommending or returning to this hotel! And probably not return to Santorini, which is suffering from too many tourists, especially large cruise ships without the infrastructure to cope! Sucha a shame for a pretty island. BTW. We fell in love with all the other islands we visited during our Greek island hopping holiday. Back to Nano Suites! All the TripAdvisor 5* ratings persuaded us to book this hotel. A mistake! Some of the reviews have negative comments and yet still rated as 5* !!! Also, I can now see that one review was NOT for this hotel because it mentions being “right in the middle of Oía”. This is obviously a different hotel! The good bits: Sunrise in a peaceful, quiet setting. Clean, spacious, beautifully furnished rooms. Ali and Marios are helpful, lovely, gentle men. The not-so good bits: 5 min walk from their car park up a steep slope of uneven, slippery, difficult cobble steps! The hotel is built on a hill so every public room is on a different level with steep unaided steps i.e. no rails. The rooms have air condenser units and air conditioning units because the rooms are and damp! This, means noise all day and NIGHT! The breakfast food is very average. We had 3 weeks on 4 different islands in the Cyclades. The food here was the worst we had! There is no manager “on the ground”. Meggy stays in the office; busy with administration. We planned to use the bus service having been told that the bus stops in the village. However, the bus does’s stop on the village any more, but on the main road with an impossible walk to the hotel. My fist husband found it hard with our bags. It was impossible for me with replacement hips and slightly weak muscles. I’m not disabled at all, but the walk from the bus stop is not suitable for those with any mobility limitation. The village restaurants are difficult walks steep slopes of uneven, slippery, difficult cobble steps! We ate at the village restaurants: Metaxi Max and Anemoloos. Anemoloos is a friendly, family-run restaurant; the food is OK and average price for Santorini. Metaxi Max is suffering from it’s success and greed - see my separate review for Metaxi Mas.

We recently stayed at the Hermoso Luxury Suites in Santorini. In short, I really liked this small hotel. Our room was spacious and clean with a view of the ocean. Breakfast was included and served hot food, although it was the same each day. There was a nice pool to enjoy. Zach was very accommodating and very helpful. The hotel is close to the airport. On a plus, it makes getting around the island convenient because everything is accessible by car. Being close to the airport, you do hear the planes landing and taking off. It's not that frequent and it didn't bother us.

Absolutely loved this hotel - great choice - from Stavroula at reception as well as her entire staff to the spacious rooms and gorgeous views - can't wait to return next year. The pool is fabulous with amazing views. This location is just perfect - away from the crowds in Fira, yet close enough to get to with a taxi. First time staying in Pyrgos and loved it. Cutest town with plenty of fantastic restaurants to choose from and this hotel is a very short walk into the town.

We arrived 3 hours late due to flight delays meaning we arrived at the hotel at 2.30am and unfortunately, we didn't call ahead so there was no one to check us in and we had to sleep outside by the pool on the sunbeds - so make sure you call ahead and let reception know if you're arriving at the hotel after 11pm!! Other than this slight mishap, there really is nothing bad I can say about this hotel. The location is great - there's a bus directly outside the hotel that you can get into Oia and it goes into Fira too - a one way trip is only €2 per person so excellent value for money. We took Uber everywhere else but reception will call a taxi for you if you need. We booked our Sunset Yacht Tour through reception and everything was handled smoothly. They just told us where to be and when - reception dealt with everything else. The rooms are great although not as spacious as you might think - very little space to hang clothes and dry clothes but they were clean and we got clean towels for the room and clean beach towels every day. Our private plunge pool was great as well - more than big enough for 2 people, private space and the view was incredible. The staff were incredibly helpful - especially Krystal - when she realised we had slept on the bed outside she showed us to our room immediately told us to rest up and then come and see her when we were ready. Eto and Ivan were great too - so friendly and helpful, ready to help you with anything you need. Breakfast gets 5 stars from us - all freshy cooked and prepared for you depending on your selection (and there is plenty to choose from) and served with incredible views by the pool/bar. Honestly, I would stay here again in a heartbeat - no questions asked!

The hotel is located in the black sand beach area. Although parking is not very convenient, the hotel's facilities, services and hygiene are very good. They also gave us a bottle of red wine, which was a surprise.

Fabulous, family run hotel, wouldn't hesitate to recommend. The accommodation was modern, extremely clean and comfortable. The pool was perfect and the kindness of the staff was lovely and extended to them sharing their Easter lunch with us. We will return and have already recommended the hotel and resort to family and friends :)
