Altera Pars Suites

Stayed here in May for my birthday and it was a dream! We booked the prestige room and couldn’t have been happier. It was so spacious and spotlessly clean. Thanks so much Ana, George & team, we loved every minute.

Honestly absolutely stunning hotel. The rooms are large, modern and well equipped with beach towels, comfy slippers, well stocked mini-bar and espresso machine (which you won’t need). Each of the private villas have either a private pool or jacuzzi (ours was a jacuzzi) but we could see the private pools downstairs from our balcony. There are 14 villas. The best thing was George our host who explained everything on the island and arranged transfers and tours before we arrived and a car hire the day we arrived. He was super attentive and so patient! The next best thing was our breakfast which cooked to order and brought to your room (included in the rate)! The service was impeccable with rooms serviced daily. A few tips, the hotel is in Messaria so a small town that’s further inside the island. You will need a car or ATV hire to get around and definitely airport or taxi transfers - which will benefit you on the island if you’re exploring anyway. The island itself you can get around in 40 mins. The gorgeous hotel is not really accessible by public transport. We walked from Fira bus stop which took a good 30 mins (Googlemaps says there’s a path from the main road but there isn’t - follow the car directions). Star Sailing was our highlight (organised by the staff here). Note: Don’t come here if you’re expecting sunset views rather come here for seclusion, privacy, a fantastic private pool (or jacuzzi) and fantastic service. This is not the touristy village.

The breakfast was very nice everything else wasnt :(. The staff was really unfriendly and wasnt able to communicate in english the room was smelling really Bad like Toilet the carpet in the room was all wet. The room was dirty the view was Not as described . We saw a street/parkinglot and a junkyard. Its facing the Morning sun Not the sunset. We moved to another Hotel After the first night because its way to expensive for what they can offer. Yes you have your own Pool and yes it has a nice interior design but Not worth the cost. At least we got Most of the money back.
