The whole staff went above and beyond, helped us switch rooms for a better view and was very helpful and kind. An example is the bellhop, Lucian. The pool was great, very clean with a great view.

"Pros - staff were great, so friendly & helpful, pool is amazing - we had a pool in our room which was great and perfect temp. Room size is really generous & spacious for the Eurphoria suite. Gym is one of the best hotel gyms . Spa is beautiful & really enjoyable experience, the messages are great. Water all round hotel, fruit at breakfast, toiletries quality of body wash/ shampoo etc was excellent. coffee machine in room with a big fridge, Towels were always stocked. They have an app which is great and staff super responsive on WhatsApp, pool food was good too! Cons - a few areas where the hotel let itself down and to be a true 5 star I think it needs to be better at certain areas, firstly, there should be speakers in the room, although room was big it was lacking , the hotel did also not replace the vanity kits which was very frustrating, I believe there should be a free shuttle into Fira, instead taxis are really expensive and the hotel use a 3rd party company that charge more than local taxis. The coffee at breakfast was terrible, there was only a limited choice of different eggs. For a 5 star hotel it should not be machine coffee and should cater for omelettes, fried , poached etc. there was constant rubbish left around the bins not collected which is not pleasant. Parts of the hotel were “closed for renovation” - restaurant/ vitamin bar/gift shop. This felt like a cover up for not opening due to quieter times which is quite misleading & we observed no construction"

"My daughter's and I loved our stay at Vogue Suites during our recent trip to Santorini. Our traditional cycladic cave suite gave us that old world feel with all the modern conveniences. Our suite was spacious & clean, beds were comfortable, location was convenient to shops & restaurants. Be prepared for lots of steps! Thankfully, 2 porters were there when we arrived to carry all our luggage. These young men were so helpful & friendly. They led us to reception and then to our room. At reception, Diana greeted us & made sure we had everything we needed. She arranged all the details for a boat excursion for us & was available to answer any questions. The views from our private patio were spectacular & the famous blue domes are just minutes away. I hope to return to Vogue Suites again some day & highly recommend it to anyone lucky enough to be planning a trip to Santorini."
