Santorini Princess Luxury Spa Hotel

This was a high school reunion girl's trip. Our accommodations were stellar! The hotel is perfectly located between Oia and Fira. It was immaculate with upscale amenities. The staff were always available to assist with a smile. The restaurant offered a magical view along with a grand breakfast buffet. We also ate a late lunch which was divinely fresh and delicious! Shout out to the front desk staff for all their help! Thank you to all for a fabulous stay!

Everything about this hotel was first-class; from the minute we arrived, we were treated like special guests. The view is spectacular; built on the top of the bluff facing the caldera, the vista was amazing, from our room and from the restaurant. Our room was excellent in every way; a hot tub was available to us on our private porch. Just down from our room, the restaurant was excellent; every meal we had there was above-average and the best we experienced in Santorini. We gave the restaurant very high marks for all our meals there. The staff was wonderful; they were friendly, helpful, went out of their way to make our stay a memorable one. If we ever get back to Santorini, we will stay at the Santorini Princess Spa again; it's a true jewel in the crown of Santorini.

Unfortunately, we were quite disappointed with our stay at this hotel. I thoroughly read the reviews before booking here, but found after actual visiting here we wished we would have stayed elsewhere. The picture they show here with the pool looking over the ocean is about the best you will be exposed to. What you see of this pool is almost the entire size of the pool. There is not enough seating to accommodate all the guests that are staying there, and because of this people reserve their spots very early with their personal belongings. During our week stay here, we were only able to reserve a spot on one occasion, and that is only because my husband got up extra early to reserve a spot. They do not have any cabanas, so that is not an option either. Secondly, imagine what it would look like if you lived in the stone age and were living during the times of the Flintstones, and this is exactly what the room looks like; concrete walls, flooring, and ceilings throughout, and there are no pictures to at least spice it up. The very small shower is also completely made of concrete, and there is no door. The water would back up outside the shower, soaking the floor. Also, the mirror in the bathroom was low enough to where my husband, over 6' tall would have to bend down, just to look in the mirror. Two people cannot comfortably take up space in the bathroom, if one person wants to pass by the other. There are also many, many, stairs here, so if you are disabled, please do not stay here, as they have no way for you to get around (no elevator). The rooms can be quite some distance away from the pool and the restaurant. We paid a good price for a nice room, but it did not seem to matter. Third, my husband was using the hairdryer, and it literally blew up on him (caught on fire) and burned his hand. Because of this, the electricity went out. There are also wooden lounge chairs on the balcony. My husband is definitely not overweight, and if anything would be accused of being underweight, and was sitting on one of the lounge chairs and it shattered beneath him. By the way, you cannot comfortably lay down in these chairs. They don't extend all the way out, so again, if you think you can lay out on your deck because there is not enough room by the pool, think again. What was so disappointing is even after all these issues we experienced and mentioned to the staff, we were not offered an apology much less a credit of some sort. The air conditioner is very outdated, so it only worked intermittently, not a huge deal...but there is no TV in the room. The towel bar was broken; therefore, we could not put our towels on it. The view from our porch was beautiful, but when people say that you could lay out there when there is not enough room at the pool, keep in mind two things: 1) It can get very hot and it's not like you have a pool on your porch to cool off and 2) Some portions of another room or a building could block the sun. There is a jacuzzi on the porch (very small) where no more than two average adults could sit in it comfortably. We asked if they could possibly turn it down by 5 degrees as it was extremely hot (we could only get our legs in it), but then they turned it down to the point where it was barely lukewarm. We didn't bother to request for them to turn it back up again, we just let it go. We only visited the restaurant once for dinner, as the food, service, and drinks were quite disappointing, and we knew we wouldn't be coming back. The servers were busy, it just appeared there was not enough servers to address the guest's needs. However, the breakfast was very good. It was the same thing every day, but there were a lot of options, including someone there to make omelette. Although the staff (some of them) appeared pleasant we found that it was nothing out of the ordinary. If you want to experience an unimaginable experience, beautiful hotel, amazing staff, great food, great view, great service, beautiful rooms, and a definite 5* experience, go to the island of Mykonos and stay at ANAX. This was truly an amazing experience.

From the moment we were dropped off at the front desk we were floored by the attention to detail the young ladies paid to us. They took the time to go over everything we could think of and more. The WhatsApp worked great. The driver's were fantastic and informative as they shuttle us around the island( minable fee). Upon check-in or room wasn't ready so we sat by the pool, as we were going to get a drink a young man(Lasana) can't down with welcome drinks and chocolate cakes for us. The manager Andreas sent down a few shots for us also. We made reservations for dinner and they set up a table outside for us with one of the most beautiful sunsets I've ever seen. As the sun went down it got a little cooler and Andreas brought out blankets for the ladies. He seems to run the place at night and an amazing woman Michela runs the morning through afternoon shift. She was fantastic, although we were only there a few days she had the specialty coffees at our table every breakfast. Not sure when we'll be back but I would definitely stay here again and highly recommend this place.

The hotel is perfectly situated for a great view of the caldera. Need a car to get around the island since the hotel is not close to any of the towns or main bus depot. Breakfast was amazing and service was wonderful
