I did have a several challenges with the booking and with communication to meet someone to find this place, and with someone dropping the ball on not including the baby cot that was requested at booking. This all seems to have been the fault of the management office. However, I felt compelled to leave a review for Nikos, our concierge/contact during our stay. He completely blew us away with the beyond 5-star service he provided. He bent over backwards and more (metaphorically speaking) to not only correct the mistakes of the management office (including spending hours of his time at 11pm driving across the island to get a baby cot for us), but also solve every other problem we had. However highly I speak of him, he deserves higher praise still, and he made our stay truly memorable and remarkable. We've never experienced service coming anywhere close to as good as what Nikos provided. Would very much love to stay here again if he were to still be the concierge. The room was also very nice and clean, and we liked that the hot (warm) tub was much more private than many on the island.

My husband and I were so excited for our honeymoon we booked a room with a sauna and tub. Unfortunately when we got there they didn’t give us our room, no explanation and no refund. The staff working there everyday was really nice and helpful. However we had some complaints, the towels smell like pee. The drain was super clogged so you would be standing in a pool of water while showering. The views were great. Some of the other rooms looked nicer. I wish they would have put us in our original room we booked as it had more amenities. Chris was hard to reach and again he did not offer any refunds, especially since we left the last few days to go elsewhere. Nor upon research does it say Santorini closes after Nov 1st. We booked this location because Dimitris (restaurant ) was in the bay as well. So we intended to get meals down there as it was highly recommended. The donkeys that were advertised are also not there after Nov 1st. So get ready to walk up 300 steep stairs a day.

Upon arrival to Oia, Nikos from Secret Gem, met us and guided us to our room. He was extremely friendly and helpful throughout our entire stay. Every morning we woke up to our breakfast basket at our window and they were delicious. He gave us many pointers on how to navigate and tour the island, which helped us bypass all the busy tourism/cruisers traffic. We had an amazing time! Thank you for making our visit special!

The propertyinside is very nice and clean. It is in a beautful cove at the bottom of the very steep hillside. The issue is it is very inconvient. The hill you have to walk down is crazy dangerouly steep. You have to walk around the donkey poop and there are about 15 donkeys to deal with. It smells in the morning. If you want a taxi it cost approx 20 Eur, if you can find the taxi willing to take you. This is only a fifteen minute walk but very steep. It is very inconvient. It would be nice if they offered transportaion.The hotel gives you a bottle of water that is filled with tap water. I would not ever book this hotel. Find one closer to the top where all the shopping and pictures are. Oh yeah the Jacuzzi is about 90 deg F. Too cold for me.

We absolutely loved Secret Gems Suites and the staff. Nikos was attentive, fast, and very helpful. The view from our suite was picture perfect. Our one complaint was the donkey poop so close to the suites. We were prepared for the almost 300 stairs leading up the Oia and honestly, those were not even that bad. The problem was the donkeys that they have on the stairs for people to ride to the top. We were unaware of this circumstance and the fact that they poop all over the stairs. We didn’t even want to bring our shoes into the suite because we were nervous about the cleanliness of our shoes. Overall, the suite itself was fantastic. Just wish I knew about the donkeys prior to booking.

This is a cute and comfortable boutique apart-hotel style property. There were great views of the water and the sunset from my room! There are several steps that you have to take to go down and then up to the property for drop off, so not advisable for those with challenges walking stairs of various heights. Most places in Santorini do only have stairs to access though. The tub in the bedroom was a jacuzzi bathtub that I just ended up not having time to use. One minor issue I had was the shower handle coming off and water coming out onto the floor when using the top water stream option. I was greeted at the taxi drop off and then the host, Nikolas, helped me with my luggage to the suite and then I just went through check in items with him there at the suite. There did not appear to be any lobby area. Nikolas was also very helpful in arranging for taxis, which needed to be called in advance since rides didn’t frequent that area. You can walk up to the main Oia city area, but donkeys/mules transport people on occasion, the stairs are inconsistent and can also be slippery - just taking a taxi is also an option. The rooftop was very nice. Tha safe is small and not standard size. For reference, it wouldn’t fit a shoe, but could fit a passport and oversized headphones.

The Secret Gem Cocoon was exactly what we expected and more. Our gracious host met us as our drop off location and helped us with our luggage and even just knowing the safe and proper way to get to our stay. Nicholas was very friendly and helpful. There was suite service and continental breakfast offered each day. The Amoudie Bay was such a beautiful and somewhat private location with some of the best sunsets on Santorini. We would highly recommend booking a stay with Secret Gem Suites while in Santorini.

Stunning sunset views! We loved our suite with the jacuzzi tub on the balcony that we used every night for sunset :). Breakfast was waiting for us every morning on the balcony as well which we really enjoyed! Staff were excellent! Quick to respond and provide any items we needed. Overall an amazing stay and experience! We hope to come back one day and will be recommending this place to our family and friends! The only thing that is important to know, which was not an issue for us, is the walk up to Oia. It isn’t far but it can be a challenge for many.

Secret Gem was fantastic. we loved being near the water and having some restaurants with beautiful views just below our suite. We had a lovely deck to sit out and watch the sunset cruise boats go by. My only recommendation would be to put out a few umbrellas for shade as it was blisteringly hot. The host was beyond helpful and so friendly. Breakfast was delivered in cute baskets each morning and was plenty for two and then some. Thanks for a wonderful stay.

This property was absolutely incredible and unique. The property manager, Nick, was excellent and always available - great communication, delivered an abundance of breakfast daily (included in the cost!), delivered laundry service, replenished anything we needed in the villa, coordinated taxis for us etc. He was excellent! The property itself was stunning and better in person than the photos (when does that ever happen?!) - the rooms were so unique, the balcony/terrance was so spacious and just spectacular to sit out there right on the water in a private space. Very quiet and peaceful in Ammoudi Bay, incredible restaurant options. Sunset Ammoudi was our favorite, we went multiple times. The town of Oia is right above the area -- you can either call a taxi (the property will assist), or walk up the cliff steps. The walk has stunning views, and highly recommended doing so at least once. The only thing to note: Taxis cannot get to Ammoudi Bay within the hours close to sunset. It is very difficult for them to get down to the Bay due to traffic of people coming to Oia for sunset. Dinner in Oia for sunset (must make reservations) is not to be missed. But you will need to be in Oia hours before if you plan on a taxi and can return to the bay after 9pm. Not a big deal, just something to note! Once you go to Oia and see the crowds, you will be so thankful you are staying in peaceful Ammoudi Bay! Cannot recommend this stay enough - book now!!
