Malta

Stayed at Ira hotel, located in the Firostefani town, with my wife for 5 nights during our winter stay in Santorini. The hotel is located along the cliff on the caldera and therefore provides the most stunning views possible. Our room was the most exclusive room located at the very bottom of the hotel which granted us total privacy (no neighbors), a large hot tub and the most stunning views imaginable. Our main gripe with the room was that the bathroom (sink and shower) water took forever to get warm and would only get luke warm which was never warm enough to our liking. We also wish the hot tub got warmer but the temperature was not adjustable. Last gripe was that the included breakfast was just ok. That said, the service was superb. We only really interacted with 2 people during our entire stay. The young man who carried out luggage and served us breakfast was very quiet and polite. Christine, the hotel manager in the reception office, was very kind and super helpful. She gave us her Whatsapp #, recommended restaurants, helped us book a rental car and even gave us a ride down the road to a restaurant on our first night which was cold and wet. The hotel is located right along the popular hiking trail which was very convenient. Be mindful that there are lots of steps and stairs in this hotel in order to get around. Overall, we loved our stay here and don't know how we're ever going to top or even match the views we got here. Highly recommended!

My room was comfortable, clean and well appointed. The staff at the hotel and restaurant were welcoming, friendly, helpful and accommodating. I would definitely recommend Suites of the Gods Cave Spa and look forward to returning.

It’s slow season so many things are closed, including the restaurant and other amenities. The hotel is a bit old but well maintained. Mike works at the reception was very friendly and attentive. Any minor issues were corrected immediately. The whole island was very empty which is great to explore. We were lucky to have 2 dry days during this rainy season. It was nice to wake up to the gorgeous caldera view.
