Honeymoon Petra Villas

Just before midnight after a long delayed flight we were brought to our beautiful room and invited to enjoy a relaxing welcome drink at the bar. We found ourselves spending three wonderful days in an oasis of calm and hospitality under the care of the Renieris family and the team of the hotel. The hotel is beautifully appointed and has the most incredible view of the Caldera but thats not its biggest attraction. Its hard to describe the feeling of welcome and genuine interest the staff of the Petra Honeymoon Villas give to all their guests. We would highly recommend and we were so lucky to have made the decision to stay here. My tip would be to treat yourself to a superior Petra studio or above its well worth the extra cost for the views alone.

Honeymoon Petra was great for our accommodations in Santorini. They were very welcoming and flexible with my group when we arrived super early due to the ferry cancellation wind advisory. We had to take a flight from Mykonos last minute. The cleaning was always great, receptionist at front desk, bartenders, and waiters at restaurant. Major thanks to the bellman for carrying our luggage to our rooms with no complaints. The room I booked was the apartment and it was wonderful, We really didn’t have any issues except there were a lot of stairs. We knew this going in, but the stairs are real lol…..The staff always communicated and were professional. Again, many thanks to the hotel for making our trip so memorable.

The hotel was recommended by a family member whilst searching for the perfect stay for our honeymoon, and as soon as we set our eyes upon it and heard such raving reviews we fell in love. There is no denying the hotel comes with a luxury price tag but with it boasting 5 stars, stunning views, sleek, modern decor and overall a luxury look and feel from images and descriptions we decided this was a worth it. Upon arrival we were firstly met with an obstruction to our apparent ‘Caldera View’ room with a wooden pergola designed with a wooden angled slat completely across the view. We then entered the room and were taken aback by how unlike the room before us seemed in comparison to the decor and interior design of the rooms across ***********, their own website as well as their social channels. The room felt incredibly ‘basic’, outdated and not the luxurious feel we were expecting or heard about. I have attached some images, but also wanted to bullet point our references for your understanding of why we cannot comprehend what we just experienced as a ‘5 star’ stay as well as feeling complete misled: - ‘Caldera View’ room not as advertised. Obstruction to view is a little like watching the theatre with a restricted view seat. Except they describe it from the offset as is, and it is discounted to reflect this. - Basic decor and furnishings not as reflected across imagery - Decorated / finished to an extremely poor standard or not up-kept at all. Entrance doors in dire need of repainting (we noticed the more superior suites had been newly decorated), paint / brush marks over walls, edges of doors and fittings etc displaying a real ‘rush’ fix / bodge job at patching over ‘worn’ areas over the years. Marks / stains over table tops / sides left. And also even mould on the edges of the lampshades. - Fittings in areas extremely concerning such as electrical tv port hanging out of the wall, attention to detail such as extraction fan being installed upside down. - Bathroom covered in mould and mildew which could easily be treated with a thorough regular clean. My husband and I are both asthmatic and mould spores really wreak havoc with our chest. - Bathroom also looking incredibly tired with the ‘modern’ black fittings worn, chipped and rusted with the shower head especially having I think never been descaled at all. As well as the look of this it also meant that most of the holes were blocked so the full shower did not work and water spurted in all directions meaning a weak water flow. - The bathroom sink also took an incredibly long time to drain and overall hot water in both the sink and shower took a good few minutes to reach a decent temperature. In addition to our disappointment with the room other areas of the resort which just goes to show the careless of the level of attention which you would expect from ANY hotel let alone a 5 star hotel: - I reported a broken chair on my first morning at breakfast to which I was told would be seen to ri

Location is ideal on the island. Central enough to get to food nearby and with incredible sweeping caldera views. Room was very comfortable - some issues with hot water at peak usage times e.g., right after sunset and before dinner (not sure that this is the hotel's fault or simply an island infrastructure issue). Private balcony offered incredible views away from the throngs of foot traffic. Pool was incredible with friendly staff. Nice breakfast. Delivered on quality and value.

5 Star treatment from the moment we arrived. The staff is amazing. ALWAYS attentive,friendly and engaging. Made the trip more memorable. Beautiful location. Stayed 3nights. Would highly recommend this resort if you plan to visit Santorini.

Amazing property with one of the most epic caldera views including of Skaros rock in all its majesty. I had the chance to stay in 2 different of their beautiful suites and they were both amazing, perfectly clean, large and very bright. Can’t choose one but you can see photos and videos here to check the differences. Despite being in Imerovigli, the privacy of the rooms with caldera view is amazing, you don’t feel like someone walking into your place at all. The breakfast buffet is great, it offers lots of Greek dishes and premium ingredients. Apostolos and Kostantina from the reception helped me to make the most out of my gf birthday with their care and kindness. I had a great services at 360° during my whole stay. From the bellboys, the cleaning lady and the waiters, everything was just mazing! Can’t recommend this place enough, hope to be back again next year!
