Desiterra Resort & Spa

The resort was very well designed. We had a honeymoon suite and it was luxurious throughout. The staff were amazingly helpful and pleasant. The resort is located on the east side of Santorini island not far from the airport. The resort is located in a very quiet neighborhood away from the cruise ship crowds. The resort offers fee based transportation anywhere on the island which we took advantage of and were completely satisfied with. The breakfast menu has several choices and is excellent. The view from the resort is not into the caldera, but into the morning sunrise.

The staff in this hotel is amazing! Starting from exeptional reception service of Michael and the other staff members like Pamba. Great spa services, the room is very nice and clean. The only slight disadvantage is that the hotel is located in a driving distance from the closest city Fira, so you have to have a car to reach there. Our stay was great and we recommend everyone who wants to relax and have a great time.

The staff were extremely helpful, polite and knowledgeable. The communication via WhatsApp was a great idea and was responded to immediately by the hotel who could not have been any more helpful even if it was just advice on where the supermarket is. Villa was clean and cleaners came at a time to suit you which was communicated via WhatsApp making planning your day easier. Facilities at the villa were superb, sun loungers, table and chairs and sofa area for sunbathing meant you were spoilt for choice on where to soak in the sun. There was a buggy service which you could utilise to get around the resort, although this only made up of 24 villas so it isn't too big to get around so we didn't utilise this. Private pool was large enough to actually swim in so not just a plunge pool and the view of the sea was partially obscured but still nice. The aircon system was really good, we stayed in the Honeymoon villa which had split floors and both floors had aircon which kept the room really cool. The bed was also a huge plus point as this was huge and really comfortable. Breakfast had enough options for everyone and was healthy inspired. Overall, a really lovely hotel to have stayed at.

The place was scenic however the surrounding areas were run down and appeared to be some construction near by. Staff were available on WhatsApp with quick responses at all hours.

The villas were very comfortable, the location was very peaceful and private, the food was delicious and the staff were exceptional. Nothing was too much trouble. We will definitely go again.
