This property was beautiful. It was on the quieter side of the island. The blooming, colorful flowers set the romantic tone for couples. Nestled in quaint little cafes literally across from the hotel. Great food with a very chilled vibe. Take a little walk and you will find salons, motor scootets snd buggy rentals, and of course delicious authentic greek offerings.

It was lovely staying here. The place was clean. It was good for my family of 5. My 3 kids had a very fun time in the pool. There’s a good restaurant in the hotel. There’s also a few others around the hotel. There about 3 souvenir shops and a mini market. It’s a peaceful and quaint place to stay at. It’s about a 20 minute drive to Fira. 10 minutes to black sand beaches. I recommend it and I would come back here.

Pool and hotel grounds were maintained well. Staff was friendly and accommodating. Breakfast was good enough. Daily housekeeping was great to have. Hot water was also great. The main problem was the guest room; toilet was broken and even though was reported the same day of arrival it was never fixed. Safe inside room not attached to the ground or wall. Door to balcony was closed and not accesible. AC was didn’t keep up, Flying bugs in room constantly Bathroom was small and not comfortable Overall value for price was lacking. This property has a lot of potential but needs a lot of preventive maintenance in guestrooms

Gateway to Archeological Akritiri.
flying standby to attend the Santorini Film Festival and arrived a day early. Fortunately they had a room available for us and the location was very easy to find. A nice corner in the center of town with lots of fun things to see and walk around. Also not far from the lighthouse at the southern tip of the island which is a destination for sunset watchers. It is also the gateway to the Akritiri archeological site which is a MUST see. We had a delightful time. A nice breakfast and a visit to one of the more remote areas of the island. A very pleasant experience and a nice discovery.

We will stay here on every trip to Santorini!!!!!
Choosing to stay at this resort for our first trip to Santorini was perfect. I was a little hesitant before I decided just because I would see on the map that Akrotiri was on the opposite side of the island from the most popular Oia. But after going, we quickly realized how small the island is and this was actually a great thing because Oia and Fira are so packed with tourists and traffic that we enjoyed escaping back to Akrotiri after a long day of exploring. Plus, there are some SPECTACULAR views en route to the hotel. Views of the Caldera that everyone would pull over to take photos of and it's just minutes from the hotel. A nice little secret that those staying in Oia aren't aware of. We felt lucky. It's also very close to SantoWines where we enjoyed a beautiful sunset wine tasting of 18 different wines with a delicious cheese platter while overlooking the caldera (less than 50 euro total for two, make a reservation for 6:30 to catch the sunset!). About the hotel, this was honestly the most beautiful resort we saw on our entire trip to Santorini (with the exception of those extremely expensive infinite pool caldera view Oia hotels). If you're looking for that postcard view of the white buildings on the hill, you'll need to stay in Oia. We came to the realization quickly that those hotels are way over our budget so we were so happy to find Paradise Resort. Equally as beautiful but with a different charm.

Akrotiri best.
If you need to stay in this suburb and end of Santorini (Akrotiri ) this is a great clean and nice spot. Not recommended as a location otherwise. Great cafe / restaurants right across the road bus stop and red beach close by.

Wedding stay in Santorini
I originally booked the hotel for 2 people which later a third member of our party added an additional request to stay with us, meaning we would have 2 rooms. When we arrived and unfortunately due to an earlier arrival of a large group and the unexpected additional volume of the group they gave one of our rooms to the group without our approval. This resulted in 3 of us sharing a room. The new room they gave us had a sofa bed and a king size bed. The room was comfortable and accommodating but I can't say the same for the sofa bed.

Brittle towels
Just got back from Santorini. The hotel is in a quiet/non-touristy part of the island. Within 20 min+ walking distance to beaches. Hotel is very clean and staff is friendly in helping to arrange activities and transportation. Our main complaint was that the beds were hard (told they were "anotomic" by staff) and towels were so brittle that when used by guests they tore very easily. We were charged 5 Euro after spending almost 1,000 Euro total for our accomodations! This did not go over well with my travel group. The breakfast was the poorest we had in all of Greece...guess I just picked the right hotels on the first two islands. The female older staff complained that we dirtied the towels; we were not to use the towels at the pool...she even complained that she could not keep staff at her hotel...probably because she complained too much. This is the first review I have ever written for a hotel...I have stayed in many around the world. The reason I decided to write this one is because of how the 10 of us were treated when one over bleached-brittle towel got ripped. It left us feeling like we would never go back. Hope the 5 Euros and the arguments that followed was worth this negative publicity. Be sure to rent a car...makes Santorini much easier to enjoy:-) There are a couple great restaurants within 10 ft of the hotel. Good Luck!

Place to avoid
As a loyal returning customer to Best Western chain hotels, We were used to a certain level of services that are inexistant in this hotel. The hotel location is not convenient at all, being at the other end of the island, and having nothing to do in the neighbourhood. Breakfast is poor, and the Management is so strict that they refused us to have it outside ! Concerning the room, do not pay any extra for a view, as there is NO view at all that is worth paying for. The room was clean, very tiny shower, but unbearable bad smell coming out of the sink, we had to leave our windows open all the stay. Besides all this, there was no room service, and we didn't even have a phone in our room...
