One of the best hotels I have ever stayed at. Location, staff, amenities were all fantastic. I hope to return some day.

The Chromata is a beautiful, quintessential Santorini hotel that’s conveniently located in Imerovigli (just north of the capital Fira, and about 20 minutes from Oia). White cave houses are the accommodation and feels very luxurious. We stayed in the most basic, double room. Room was small but we spent most of our time at the gorgeous infinity pool or exploring the nearby villages. Staff members were extremely attentive. We also utilized the concierge to book sailing excursion and airport transportation, which was very convenient. Everything was quite expensive, but relative to other Santorini luxury hotels, the Chromata provided the best value.

Perfectly positioned for some of the best views on the island. Staff super friendly. Rooms were on the small side but well maintained. Geared towards couples. Spa is actually on a sister property but Hotel will arrange for a free shuttle.

Staying at the Chromata was a fantastic experience. The location is ideal, the rooms are beautiful and spotless, the food and drink was delicious and the staff was off-the-charts. Really, the people who work there made it something truly special. We will definitely be back!

Location good. Paid a fortune a night for a room with no character or ambiance. Very disappointing. Breakfast was good. Maid/Turn down service could be improved. We complained about turn down service, manager told us we were given when we were not. Hotel manager very rude and needs an etiquette class. Bathroom hot tub didn't work. Privacy is non existent on room terrace. Not enough chairs at the pool. Hotel needs to be improved because 5 star status/$$$$$ a night isn't deserving. Cheaper hotels with same view are everywhere. We paid a fortune thinking that this hotel would be fantastic. It was a disappointment.

An hotel where its manager comes to receive you, gives a welcome and also have a seat with you to share a coffee while your room is ready, so he can brief you about all you can do in the island...is much more than I booked!!! We really felt like home because all the kindness and class of the whole staff. Certainly our forever hotel in Santorini! 11/10!

The views from this hotel are breathtaking! The staff is amazing, they did everything in their power to keep us very satisfied. I would highly recommend staying here.

I really can't say more about how amazing this hotel is. The rooms are big (the bathrooms are caves dug into the side of the cliff) all with private terraces that open to a view of the caldera. Rooms are very spacious (even the smaller rooms) with king sized bed (not those two twins pushed together that you normally see in european hotels). Rooms are cleaned twice a day and everything is a spotless white. Amenities include an infinity pool with deck, restaurant (the pool deck after hours), cool jacuzzi, hot tub, sauna, and massage room. The hotel is a short walk (10-15min) from the center of Fira, the largest village on the island and there are 5 other restaurants within 1 minute from the hotel.

Dear Mrs. Kelly, I hope you had a safe trip back home! My name is Evaggelos Tsochas, Hotel Manager at Chromata Santorini and I would like to express my sincere apologies for any inconvenience caused. Firstly, I would like to apologize as my intentions have been misinterpreted. Kindly note that the hotel doesn’t accept children under 13, as it is built on the Cliffside and 150meters above the sea. Of course, I can recall that your friends with children under 13, visited your room and I am really sorry if my notification seemed impolite, but your safety is of foremost importance. We cannot risk a possible injury. In that respect, and although a false etiquette has been put under my name, I feel happy that we avoided possible incidents. With regards to theturn down service you mention, I can guarantee that following your request prior to arrival, I checked every day that 9 big towels, 7 medium towels, 5 small towels, 5 bathmats and bathrobes were delivered twice a day. The one time you mention was that the turn down service hadn’t been in your room yet. I am sure you can understand that turndown service operate during certain hours and as you can also recall, after the housekeeping visited your room for the turndown service you had all the extra towels. Concerning the privacy, please note that all the hotels located in caldera. So, they have the advantage of offering magnificent views, however this means that although you have your own balcony, there is a possibility to be seen if a guest of nearby balcony looks at yours. Similarly, as there are not enough sunbeds by the pool, we created another area with Jacuzzi and sunbeds. Kindly note that our guests are considered family and feedback is valuable in order to improve the quality of our services. I would like once more to thank you for taking the time to share your comments. Warmest regards
