Hotel berhampiran Megalochori, Santorini

Blimey, where to start, this place is a throw back to 1980s decor of tack & naff. . The areas of the hotel we saw, were nothing like the photos on the website it was a strange assortment of mismatched decor, cheap artwork, throws over stained sofas, a general tattiness. We had a full day trip out planned so dropped off our bags earlier, concierge told us they would take them to the room when it was ready (which was fine with us) but to come back to the hotel at 9.30pm and find our bags still sitting in the public area of the main foyer of reception was annoying. Our room I think was 15 or 16 is dark & cavernous and also just a few metres from the pool (you hear the water constantly noisily overflowing) & the music system which starts after breakfast & goes until about 11pm & also anyone can walk past and look through your door / windows. One window had a net curtain the other only a black out fabric curtain which didn’t reach to the end of the window so we had to be inventive & hold it together with some random objects to block out the sunlight (and eyes) Our room was large & the bed comfortable, there were 4 bottles of complimentary water in the fridge & nice toiletries, but that’s about the only positives here. The colour scheme was a homage to all things yellow and brown (not a single white : santorini style aesthetic to be found - like what they present in the website). The furniture was mismatched and old. Lights were hanging forlornly off the walls. The rockery style bathtub was amusing & kitch. Looking through the 100s of photos of the hotel we didn’t find the room we were allocated in any single one of them. No surprise as you would not book if you had seen this room. The gym is such a sad place, old machines & mis matched weights. Breakfast was a scrum - not enough tables inside, & the outside tables & chairs were wet, the food looked like it had been pre-handled by by a foot ball team & overall breakfast area had the ambience of a kids school playground. We felt sorry for the waiter trying to serve the tea & coffee and organise & clear tables - he was run off his feet. There were signs around the pool saying you had to pay more if you wanted a double bed that was in the water, they were also in need of some maintenance as they were tatty & had tears in the mattress. The view across the caldera was lovely from the public areas of the hotel. It was also interesting to be able watch the lorries, buses & vans negotiating the winding road down to the port. The Hotel charged €30 for 2 to transfer down to the port. They insisted we go 2 hours before before the road was ‘so bad’ we did suggest that was a bit early but - hey we were dumped down there and had to breathe on all the fumes off the ferries & vehicles coming & going. Before booking I would find out exactly what room you were being given. Otherwise I wouldn’t stay here.

Pure Magic. We came here for our honeymoon and stayed in the Deluxe Jacuzzi Suite for 4 nights and I am just speechless. The views from this room are unbelievable, blew my expectations out of the water. Enjoying our delicious breakfast with the insane view. The staff was so helpful and nice and, Chris, the manager went above any beyond to make sure our stay was perfect! We also hiked down to the water from the Heart of Santorini which and incredible hike to do if you like hiking. We were also able to hire message on our balcony which was so cool as well! Highly recommend!! It was really nice being away from Oia (25 mins) and Fira (10 mins), it was October and it was still super crazy busy over there. So felt super nice to be in our quite spot on the other end of the Island. Having the jacuzzi to go in after we get back every night was the best part. The view and the stars were incredible. We had the quad delivered to our hotel which was perfect as well for taking adventures everyday. Memory of a lift time. Just book it!!

We have found that the Athermi suites is the best place to stay in Santorini because it has absolutely everything you would want for magnificent holiday. We booked the spectacular villa room with indoor swimming pool and views from floor to ceiling of the Aegean Sea and volcanic mountains although every room after speaking to other guest also have amazing vistas as well. The staff are absolutely outstanding, the service , the delicious food , the tour and local information help , all add up to an excellent holiday . We also enjoyed their private dining experience at Sunset which was truly magical ( you will have to book for this one ). So if you are looking for a place to really relax and enjoy a fabulous holiday Athermi Suites is a wonderful choice we will definitely be back .

We visited mid September with Jet2. Overall an excellent holiday, although we discovered that it is a very busy island, especially the main towns of Fira and Oia inundated with cruise ship holidaymakers. We knew that Santorini was expensive (and it is!) so we treated ourselves for our 60th birthdays. What we loved about the hotel: Small (15 rooms) in a quiet location; beautifully decorated & appointed rooms; Excellent service from the staff; amazing views; the free bus service to the lovely beach (and great beach club) and to Fira; beautiful village within close walking distance (10-15 mins) with excellent restaurants What we were not so impressed with: Pool area lacked shade. We appreciate that it can be a very windy location, but on calmer days they should put up more sail type shades. We would witness people trying to hide from the sun under tables or against a wall. Also we didn’t like the music blaring non stop. It was not suitable for a chilled vibe atmosphere - ‘driving home for Christmas’ being one of the pop songs! Suspect the music was played to try and create some form of atmosphere - but the lack of sun cover and incessant music kept us away. We had booked a first floor (top) room but were ‘upgraded’ to a ground floor room. Whilst it benefited from a small patio area overlooking the car park, you could hear people walking in the room above. I would have preferred our original room. For a Fireworks Festival Dinner we were told that the dining room was fully booked and that we would have to sit outside. Absolutely fine by us as the dining room is pretty basic, lighting too bright and again lacked atmosphere. However when we arrived at our appointed time, all the outside tables had been taken and we were shown a table inside. Guests who had booked the restaurant area had obviously decided to sit outside . Not impressed, although the staff did hastily move a table outside for us.

This was the most exceptional experience that we've ever had as a couple and we have stayed in Shangri-La's in other destinations. Georgia was a dream to have managing the suites, she was attentive and went out of her way to be helpful. She was thoughtful, honest, had a great sense of humor and knew what were looking for. She gave us excellent advice and helped us curate the best experience in Santorini. The hotel itself was worth the money - the views through the glassed in balconies and breakfast on the patio are something that we will remember for our lifetime. Georgie helped us find excellent authentic restaurants, directed us to vistas to see amazing sunsets and booked us an exceptional catamaran sunset cruise. We would go back here in a heartbeat. Thank you again for all that you did for us! Alysha (ALIKI) and Steven We actually went in October 2022.
