Caldera View Bungalow Resort

The hotel rooms are clean with good air conditioning. The staff were very helpful and friendly. Breakfast was good, but after a week of exactly the same did become a little monotonous, we ended up getting pastries from the bakery up the road for a change. We did hire a car as found the road outside difficult to walk along with no pavement and fast moving cars. We did eat at the restaurant over the road, but were not offered the discount mentioned in other reviews, despite telling the waitress that we were staying at the hotel. Maybe this needs a clearer system. The discount was also not mentioned at checking in, we only heard about it from reading these reviews, at the end of the holiday. Also found it pricier than other places we ate in Akatori and Perissa. The lovely grill house at the top of the road does delivery. with a few tweaks it could be a 5 star review. The road outside stays busy during the night, but nothing a pair of earplugs didn't sort out. The pool was lovely with plenty of loungers, always managed to find one when we wanted. I would recommend this hotel.

The hotel was good , even the ambience is very good… Also the rooms are spacious with an air conditioner and fridge .. the location of the hotel is also good because There is a bakery (excellent) a pharmacy and a supermarket within a 15 minute walk from the hotel. There is also a restaurant across the street from the hotel with a nice view of the sea ( although I think in their prices other restaurants were much better).The rooms and the ambience was good but I think the staff was not very friendly and a little bit rude …

We contacted the hotel prior to our arrival and they arranged for a taxi to collect us at the airport. Checked in and shown to our room, a junior suite on the first floor. The room was spacious and clean with a shower over the jacuzzi bath. The room also had a fridge and air conditioning. We had an issue with the aircon and mentioned it to reception and someone was out immediately to resolve it. The pool is large and there was always loungers available at any time of the day. There is a bakery (excellent) a pharmacy and a supermarket within a 15 minute walk from the hotel. In addition, there's a restaurant across the road from the hotel owned and managed but the family who run the hotel that does lovely food and the views, especially at sunset are spectacular. There's also a couple of other restaurants, again within a 15 minute walk form the hotel - Grillicious and Panorama (both excellent). There is also a bus stop right outside the hotel to take to to Fira or Akrotiri. All staff we encountered were friendly and helpful, although the only issue we had was on our first morning, having had very little sleep the night before travelling, we went down to breakfast just before 09:45 (it was due to close at 10am), but were quite abruptly told as we entered "to quickly grab some food as they were clearing up in two minutes" !?! Otherwise thoroughly recommended budget stay outwith Oia and Fira.
