We recently celebrated our second honeymoon at Nikki Beach Resort & Spa Santorini for nine unforgettable days, and it was absolutely perfect. From the moment we arrived, the service was attentive, efficient, and genuinely warm—something we truly appreciate as owners of a luxury wedding venue in the U.S. The pool design is stunning, especially with the evening lighting that creates such a magical atmosphere. Our room offered breathtaking views of the Aegean Sea, and every morning felt like a postcard come to life. That said, if you're sensitive to loud music during daytime hours (especially between 11:30 AM and 7 PM), avoid rooms directly overlooking the main pool area—the vibe can get quite lively. Also, while the private pools are charming, some could use more greenery and decorative touches to feel more intimate. And be aware: for about 80% of the pool-access rooms, neighboring units overlook your space, so privacy isn’t always guaranteed. Still, this didn’t take away from our overall joy. We highly recommend choosing a view-oriented room over one with just a small pool. Thank you, Nikki Beach, for an extraordinary experience!
Staying at Zannos Melathron was an absolute dream come true. Nestled in the charming Byzantine village of Pirgos on Santorini, the hotel offers breathtaking views of the volcanic caldera and the entire island—truly a postcard-perfect setting. The architecture is stunning, with elegant white buildings that contrast beautifully against the deep blue Aegean Sea. Every detail reflects care and authenticity. We were warmly welcomed by the team who truly embody Greek hospitality—friendly, attentive, and always ready to help. Special thanks to the cleaning staff for keeping everything spotless and welcoming. It’s rare to find such genuine warmth and excellence in service. I can’t wait to return and highly recommend this hidden gem to anyone visiting Santorini.
Our stay at Mirabo Villas in September was absolutely magical! Perched on the cliffs of Firostefani, the villa offers breathtaking views of the Aegean Sea and caldera that left us speechless. The blend of traditional Cycladic architecture with modern comforts made every moment feel special. We especially loved unwinding by the shared plunge pool and watching the sun dip below the horizon from our private terrace—pure romance. The staff were attentive without being intrusive, and the whole experience felt like a dream getaway. From the stunning location to the serene atmosphere, it was everything we hoped for and more. A perfect escape, highly recommended!
The view of the Skaros Rocks from the hotel is absolutely breathtaking—literally right outside your door. Every morning felt like waking up in a postcard.

The Orizontes Hotel in Santorini is an outstanding choice for a memorable stay. From the moment we arrived, the staff made us feel welcome with their warm and polite service. The hotel’s location is perfect—close to town yet quiet enough to relax. Our room was clean, spacious, and beautifully designed with views of the caldera. The only small suggestion would be to include more vegetable options at breakfast, as that’s the one area where it could be improved. Overall, though, this place exceeded our expectations. Highly recommend for anyone visiting Santorini.

Stunning views from the room—every morning started with a breathtaking view of the caldera, and the sunset was absolutely unforgettable. The property has a charming, rustic vibe, though some areas could use a little renovation. That said, the overall atmosphere is cozy and authentic.

If you're looking for a peaceful, scenic stay without breaking the bank, this place is definitely worth considering. Great value for the price, and the views alone make it memorable.
