Santorini Hotel Guide - Historic Hotels in Santorini, South Aegean

"I recently had the opportunity to stay at Suites of the Gods Cave & Spa in Santorini from February 3 to 5, 2025. While Santorini itself is always a breathtaking destination, my visit was accompanied by an unexpected challenge—ongoing seismic activity. Despite the situation, my experience at the hotel remained memorable, and I’d like to share my honest review. The Hotel & Atmosphere The hotel’s location is stunning, offering panoramic caldera views that are truly unmatched. The architecture blends seamlessly with the island’s natural beauty, and the cave-style suites provide a unique, luxurious feel. However, the earthquakes did add a layer of unease to the experience. The tremors were noticeable, but the hotel’s structure felt solid, which provided some reassurance. Room & Comfort I stayed in a cave-style suite, which was spacious, elegantly decorated, and featured a private terrace overlooking the caldera. The ambiance was relaxing, and the in-room amenities were top-notch. That said, due to the ongoing tremors, some minor disturbances occurred—like occasional vibrations—but nothing alarming enough to force evacuation. Staff & Service The hotel staff was exceptionally professional and accommodating, especially considering the circumstances. They remained calm, reassured guests."

"I liked everything about this hotel exceptional service from Aqua Luxury Suites who will cater to the highest quality, at any point of time I never felt anything was less but was always overwhelmed with the way they serve the customers, One of my best experiences I’ve had by far, Thank you to Aqua Luxury Suites for the Beautiful stay I had at their resort."

"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!"

"Excellent place to spend time in Santorini . Room and view were just awesome. We had a fantastic stay . Irini , Alex and Andreas were just amazing and accommodated all our needs like daily breakfast and handling our luggage ,booking our activities and transportation . Be ready to walk up and down very steep stairs but is completely worth it ."
