Guest Review: Amazing views of blue domes and wonderful hotel location on the highest peak of Santorini
Guest Review: We had a wonderful 9 days at the Caldera View. The hotel has the most beautiful views of the famous Santorini sunset. The staff are exceptional. Panos and his team work so hard and are always friendly and happy and go out of their way to help with any requests. Our room was perfect and spotlessly clean, and tended to daily - fresh towels every day. The view from our balcony was unreal. Breakfast was plentiful and fresh with a good variety. The restaurant (situated across the road) was lovely - the view from here is unmatched. Food was lovely too. The pool is fabulous - probably the best we've stayed at - very quiet - large and good depth. Throughout or stay we had no issues with sunbeds and could have moved at any point during the day without issue. Wi-Fi in the hotel was upgraded during our stay which was great. We also had aircon in our room with no extra charge - never know this before in any other places we have stayed in Greece....it was much appreciated!! Thank you Panos, Victoria, Tasos, Shota, Lika and all of the other staff for making our stay so memorable. (Apologies for any incorrect spellings and for missing anyone out!!)
Guest Review: Loved the hotel and location - quiet but lovely coastal walks and tavernas close by. The buffet was very good with varied dishes. Dinner and breakfast were very nice. Pool was lovely, clean and looked after. The pool bar was great and had drinks available. Staff were lovely and very accommodating. Highly recommend this place.
