Amazing stay at the blue sea hotel, this was not my first time staying here and it has topped my other stays. We had a room with a small pool and it was so nice to have our own little space. Staff are friendly and helpful. Highly recommend
The stay was excellent, I had no complaints about the people or the place I was staying at. The people catered to my needs perfectly and had complementary dinner meals that were made with great care. I would stay at vila Manos again if I go on another trip to Santorini. At the end when I left they gave me a complementary bottle of wine as a thank you for staying at there hotel. 10 out of 10 stars
Easy to find
Excellent location close to beach and all shops, cafes, bus stop etc.
Very welcoming - even we arrived late at night
Pickup service a lot cheaper than Uber / Taxi
Basic accommodation, but clean and comfortable
Excellent price given that it is on Santorini in the middle of the tourist ara=ea and close to the beach and all amenities.
Tipica Struttura isolana a picco sulla Caldera di Santorini e con una vista mozzafiato. Le camere moderne confortevoli e molte con vista stupenda , come nel ns caso.
L hotel non e' il massimo per chi ha problemi di deambulazione perche si sviluppa su molte scale, essendo inerpicato come tutti gli altri in zona, sulla collina di Imerovigli, a picco sul mare e sulla caldera a quasi 500m di altezza. Vista panoramica assolutamente indimenticabile.
Personale cosi cosi, senza entusiasmo e con la testa alla imminente stagionale chiusura della struttura.
Tre piscine nell'hotel, una grande due piccole, ma con l'acqua letteralmente gelida....non praticabili almeno per me.
Pulizia ok, ns camera bella, moderna, matrimoniale con sofa oltre il letto, spaziosa con vista super, frigo bar vuoto.
Passiamo alle note negative.
La colazione continentale e' stata da 3 stelle ma di quelli scarsi. Il primo giorno , in normale orario di colazione, già mancavano le tazze i bicchieri e vari prodotti tra cui il latte nella macchina che eroga il caffe o cappuccino ecc ecc. ad un certo punto la macchina non erogava piu niente. Segnalavo la cosa al poco personale presente in sala e mi veniva, in maniera detto, in maniera quasi sgarbata, che era finito il latte nella macchina. Roba da mensa dei poveri....rispondevo che sarei stato costretto a fare colazione fuori pur avendo pagato una colazione in hotel. Alla fine ho dovuto ovviare con un espresso macchiato con latte freddo.
Nei giorni seguente le cose sono leggermente migliorate ma sostanzialmente non ci siamo assolutamente.
I prezzi interni al bar della piscina sono da 6 stelle, una birra greca , la più economica in grecia da 33cl, € 8, due cappuccini orrendi presi appena arrivati al mattino del primo giorno 13€. Non ci hanno offerto nulla all'arrivo.
adesso passiamo alla cosa che ritengo più grave.
Avevamo riservato questa struttura Adromeda SPA Resort per la presenza di una SPA con sauna , jacuzzi ecc ecc, perche amiamo molto questo tipo di facilities in hotel.
Ebbene l'intera SPA era chiusa perche l'hotel si avvicinava alla chiusura stagionale della struttura e da questo ne deduco l 'atteggiamento svogliato di tutto il personale .
Ovviamente l'hotel vende la struttura sul web omettendo questo ”piccolo”particolare.
Siamo rimasti malissimo e non avremmo mai riservato questo hotel con la SPA chiusa
Il nostro tour operator TRIP.COM avendo saputo da noi questa cosa si e' operato con l'hotel per avere un piccolo rimborso, ma non ha avuto successo, poiche l'hotel non si e' dimostrato disponibile.
L'isola e' meravigliosa, ma a mio avviso rientra nel novero delle isole da turismo di massa, come Mikonos Ios e altre, anche se in ottobre un po meno occupata. Clima autunnale e due giorno di pioggia su cinque.
Concludo dicendo che naturalisticamente siamo in un vero paradiso, per la caldera , il vulcano, le isole, tutto stupendo, belle escursioni, moltissimi ristoranti e taverne, ma pochi quelli dove si può mangiare bene.
In conclusione una vacanza dove siamo rimasti soddisfatti a metà.
Molto seccato rispondevo cge sarei andato a fare colazione
Excellent holiday. Stayed a week and explored the island at a leisurely pace, best way with no rush. Thank you and credit to Sophie at the front desk. She is so helpful and cheery. She helped us book day excursion trips to the volcano, Oia sunset trip, rental car, airport transfer. 👍👍 Sophie. Porter & breakfast room service was the other excellent experience at this hotel. Then there is the view from our terrace & hot tub, beautiful. Room was cozy, clean & comfortable. The well maintained light color walls inside and outside this property is just amazing. Just like all of Santorini, the white buildings in the bright sun is just outstanding. Highly recommend this hotel for the best location near Fira city center for restaurants & shops. Not sure if we will visit Santorini again but if we do, will certainly return to this hotel.
I had a wonderful stay at White Caves. The property was exceptionally clean, beautifully designed, and perfectly maintained throughout. The views were stunning, and the peaceful atmosphere made it easy to relax and unwind. Every detail felt thoughtfully curated, from the elegant interiors to the comfortable amenities. The service was warm and attentive, adding to the overall experience. A truly memorable stay — I would happily return and highly recommend it to anyone visiting.
Ttraveller2002The hotel staff could not have been more lovely and helpful - a special thanks to Alice and all of the restaurant staff, they went out of their way to help me and always with a smile. The breakfast in the morning was always fantastic, fresh and healthy.
If you’re a solo traveller wanting to unwind like I was - this is a fantastic place. It is minutes away from the beach and well equipped with a gorgeous pool that is never busy. The feel of the hotel is completely zen and really forces you to chill out. The beds are super comfortable too, and I really appreciated the spacious balcony with the gorgeous view to sunbathe and have a drink. Will definitely stay again!
JJoel LHHPerfect gem with 9 beautiful suites. Perfect service by Antonis and his wonderful team. Every morning sunrise and evening sunset views were breathtakingly stunning! Will definitely stay again in the future!
ผผู้เข้าพักPositives:
We stayed in a Bungalow Family Room which was spacious, beautifully designed, and had a lovely outdoor area. It was quiet and peaceful. Towels were changed and bins emptied daily. The hotel is perfect for families with younger children (up to about 8 years old). We went with two boys (4 and 8), and they loved it. The two slides kept them entertained, and the beach bar was excellent—always cocktails and snacks available. There were plenty of sun loungers, especially on the beach, with no need to wake up early to reserve. That made the stay very relaxing. The entertainment team was great—friendly, not pushy, and always offering activities. They were amazing with children, and the mini disco was the best we’ve seen so far, with all the staff putting their heart into it. Evening entertainment suited all ages, and we especially enjoyed the beach party.
Negatives:
While most of the staff were lovely and smiley, the reception team was disappointing (except the lady who did our check in efficiently on the evening we arrived and explained everything). On several occasions when I asked questions, they seemed abrupt and in a hurry, even when no one else was waiting. The biggest drawback was the food. It really needs improvement and is the main reason for the lower rating. Most meats were dry, with little variety. Even simple dishes like Greek salad were below standard. The buffet was very pork-heavy, which made it difficult for us on some days since we don’t usually eat pork. Desserts were the worst part, mostly inedible, just cream and jelly-like options. The wine was also very low quality.
Another issue was cleanliness of the public bathrooms, especially those near the pool. They were not well maintained, and I even saw a cockroach in one of them. Our room also had these tiny worm like snakes (apparently harmless and called ”blind snakes”) We first thought it was one that lost her way but we ended up finding one or two everyday and getting them out. We did ask someone to come and sort it out, but they told us they were harmless and didn't do anything other than getting them out.
We love the sustainability concept and appreciate that they grow their own vegetables, but unfortunately, we didn’t see this reflected in the meals. It made us wonder if it might be a bit of a waste of time and money, since the menu didn’t seem to highlight those fresh, organic fruits and vegetables.
As a whole, we felt everything about the hotel except the food was great but on this basis, we wouldn't come again.
