  : Large room with comfortable beds, renovated hotel with a nice pool and lounging chairs / beds around the property. Strong wifi. Friendly staff offering to help with any tourist request. Daily cleaning and the hotel offers access to the pool and showers for guests having checked out. Even though there are many rooms, it never felt crowded and was quiet. The property is 2' walk from the beach and has a deal with nearby Aegan restaurant on the beach, where you can use the sunbeds for free. The bus stop and mini market "Euromarket" are less than 10' away. Warning: not all buses to Fira stop in Perivolos, you may have to walk to Perissa, Perivolos beach is a black sand beach, possibly the best area in Santorini for swimming (not snorkeling): calm sea, water shoes are not needed. There are many nice restaurants close to the hotel.
  : Tap water isn't drinkable so you have to buy bottles every day, not the hotel's fault but that amounts to a lot of plastic. Also, poor plumbing means having to throw toilet paper in the trashcan. But again, that's everywhere on the island.

  : The personnel is super kind and willing to provide you with every kind of information on-place and activities on isle. The location is practical for getting the main seasides and beaches, such as Perissa, Perivolos, Red Beach, White Beach, Vlychada. The hotel is about twenty minutes driving from Fira and 45 minutes driving from Oia. Sunbeds, bar and pool is well maintained at the hotel.
  : Nothing. I got what expected.

  : the common are was beautiful! Pool was very clean, wonderful staff, nice areas to sit around the pool in the evening and relax.
  : Not that I didn't like it, just that the room itself was very basic.

  : Room was exceptional and the owner provided a bottle of wine with light refreshments in the fridge. He was also very responsive when we locked ourselves out of the room.
  : You cannot park in the Old Town, so finding parking was a bit difficult with quite a hike to our room. Because of the Ferry schedule change, we arrived very late, so needless to say the parking situation was not the best. The room was great, wish we would have gotten in earlier in order to appreciate the town.

  : Staff were lovely, property was lovely and location was very good. Car parking facilities were extremely reassuring.
  : The bedroom AirCon didn't cool the room down at all throughout the night and therefore it was quite uncomfortable for both me and my pregnant wife.
