Phos the Boutique

Santorini|0.75km from Riding Bear
I booked this hotel on the 8th December 21' for my 30th birthday in June '22 because the pictures/videos were amazing and honestly most reviews were really good and the hotel seemed reputable. Just to confirm, I booked a fully refundable rate with free cancellation 21 days before arrival and only a 50% deposit was to be charged to confirm the booking. A few days after making the booking, 50% was taken as expected, however a few days after that, ANOTHER 50% of the booking was double charged. I understood that it might have been a mistake but this was the first red flag for me. I reached out to the hotel immediately to query the double charge and Anthony the manager confirmed this was a mistake on their part and that he would look into this the following morning. The following morning Anthony called me and reassured me that the double charge had been refunded and was really apologetic so I believed that this had been resolved. This was the week before Christmas! After a week or so, I still had not received the refund for the double charge so sent a number of emails throughout December but received NO response. I then sent another email on 4th Jan 2022 and finally received a response apologising for the delay and using Christmas and bank holidays to justify the lack of communication. Anthony again confirmed that the 'funds would be released by the 7th Jan' - whatever that means. As you can probably guess, the 7th Jan came and still no refund. Due to frustration I cancelled the whole booking and as per the cancellation policy should have received a full refund by now. It is now FEBRUARY 14TH 2022 and I still have not received a refund for the double charge or cancelled booking. I have now had to raise a dispute with my bank who are looking into this which can take up to 60 days and I am extremely disgusted, shocked and disappointed at the lack of urgency to refund money taken from my account without authorisation. This is definitely not a 5 star experience and I believe the hotel lacks fundamental values such as integrity. Please don't get distracted by the social media posts like I did. I definitely encourage you to avoid this hotel. It's not worth the stress at all! I wish I could rate the hotel 0.

Astarte Suites

Akrotiri Santorini|1.97km from Riding Bear
I have been to Santorini many times in the past, but I never experienced my stay there as I have done in Astarte Suites. It has been some months since I came back from Astarte Suites, and I can’t stop thinking of this every day! Our Honeymoon trip was faultless from start to finish. Our Astarte private suite with the infinity pool was super comfortable and kept immaculate, toiletries and mini bar generously replenished. We had a panoramic sea view from our room, even from our bed!, with stunning views of Caldera, Fira and Thirassia island – what a great way to start your day! Our suite had a spacious patio with Jacuzzi, huge daybed and of course the large infinity pool to cool off. The food in the Alali restaurant was excellent, varied and always well presented. There was an extensive wine selection of local and international labels. The sommelier is very knowledgeable. Compliments to the Executive Chef Adam Kodovas and the Chef Manos Regkoukos for the amazing menu – the gyozas and the octapus satay were to die for! But what is not negotiable is the breath-taking view of the Caldera and Fira during the golden hour of the famous Santorini’s sunset. The perfect light and view to capture stunning photos. We keep looking at the photos and videos we took. The staff in the resort are super friendly, professional and enthusiastic. We were amazed by the details of attention that the staff have put in us. As they knew it was our honeymoon, the brought champagne, cake and flowers to our room upon our arrival. They also went the extra mile to make restaurant reservations and transportation arrangements for us. The main thing that struck me about all the staff is that they seemed to enjoy their jobs and genuinely cared how the guests were. We will be back before too long.

Symmetry Suites
4.1/524 Reviews
A tranquil stay with welcoming and helpful staff. The accommodation was spotless, comfortable and provided the perfect setting for a siesta. The shower was powerful and always had hot water, and the air conditioning and safe worked perfectly. The views from the room’s balcony were beautiful and unspoilt, it was so lovely being able to enjoy a cocktail whilst watching the sunset over the sea. The pool area is more beautiful than the photos show! The food and drink were plentiful and very tasty. We had the Greek BBQ on our third night and it was sensational. We opted for the Santorini salad for lunch, which was absolutely scrumptious! The staff were all very helpful and demonstrated great hospitality skills. They arranged taxis to and from Oia and Fira for us and provided additional towels etc. when requested. The only slight thing that could may make the stay even better would be providing complimentary bottled water, replenishing in room coffee/ tea bags each day and pool side service for cocktails etc (although, it wasn’t much effort to walk to reception and order drinks etc.) Overall, it was a lovely relaxing place to stay, away from the hustle and bustle of the busy places but close enough to all the attractions via prompt and reasonably priced taxis.

Sunset Faros
4.4/524 Reviews
It is the second time we stayed in Faros Sunset. We were here at May 19. The reasons that we choose this hotel is because of: 1) of its location . You can see the best sunset.This August we were lucky and enjoyed also the full moon. Apart from the location, 2) you can understand what greek hospitality is . The family Martha, Fani and Nikos make you feel that it is your home. Despite the hospitality you can see the kindness and the full smile on their face. Very helpfull for any info that you need!! I would advice the stay to this hotel for
Cape Sisu Suites
4.3/560 Reviews
A small hotel that boasts fantastic views. Large spaces around the pool with a pleasant dark color. White structure with thick walls, cool and soundproof. Very comfortable bed. Lighting in the room, a bit dim near the bed. Quiet environment away from cars and traffic. Cleaning is acceptable. They could be more careful to remove dust not only in the room but also around the pool with a garden pump. It is very annoying. Overall a pleasant and relaxing stay. Recommended

Caldera Romantica Hotel
4.3/550 Reviews
Akrotiri
It seems odd to describe this as a hotel, it is more akin to being in family home. Nothing was too much trouble, everyone was warm & kind. It is hard to do justice to the way in which each guest is treated. I suppose I should cover the negatives.... the bed was too soft for me, and not being able to leave the air con on was a pain. The hotel is a little isolated, top of a hill with no real transport & the paths leave something to be desired. I would list this as a negative but we went for a break so this was just what we wanted. Food wise the breakfast is good, reasonably varied in range & different everyday. The resturant is booking only in the evening which is a shame as the food was excellent. Lunch menus are available until 5 & offer the option to eat by the pool. The room itself was spacious & aside from the HC noise quiet enough. The showers & bathroom in general are a little small but unless you plan on doing something more than showering in there that is not much of an issue. My last word would be the view. It is stunning, the sunset in particular. If you want peaceful break, surrounded by kind,warm people then this is the place to go.
